I use new tech as well but I like to have a bit of both. Had 1000+ tracks on my mp3 player for example and it randomly corrupted at the end of last year. If I'd have been a dummy and not had all that backed up then that would have been it. It was a real mix of stuff ripped from CD's or downloaded fr...

Prices have gone up a lot haven't they? Just sold both Dino Crisis games as a pair for over £40 (not including the cost of international shipping which has been paid for on top) on ebay. I remember picking these up really cheap a few years ago.

10pts - Persona 3 FES 9pts - Yakuza 2 8pts - Odin Sphere 7pts - Grand Theft Auto San Andreas 6pts - Soulcalibur III 5pts - Tekken 5 4pts - Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria 3pts - Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast 2pts - Enthusia Professional Racing 1pts - Black Could have easily been a top 20 in all honesty. Fa...

Finished off Spyro Reignited Trilogy today. All three games maxed with all the skill points. Bit too easy to blast through them after playing the PS1 originals over and over since they first came out but nevertheless, I really enjoyed the refresh on these and how faithful they were to the originals....

Its a nice edition for sure. One of the few times where a CE wasn't insanely priced and didn't feel like a cheap POS. Speaking of Yakuza, I've got my import copy of Judge Eyes. I started it last weekend and am already glued to it. A detective game based in Yakuza's universe was something I wanted f...

That reminds I saw PS Vita Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom for £15 are you still after that?

Ooh, yes - would definitely be interested

I'd given up finding it to be honest. Only have CEX's left around me and the Vita stock is always trash.

Not sure about Fords from 2012 and thereabouts but I had a 2006 Mondeo and Fords of that period had a "Smart Charge" system that required a specific battery (think it had silver content or something...can't quite remember). Anyway, the previous owner had put the wrong battery in and it worked for me...

Picked up the 'After Hours' limited edition of Yakuza 6 from Amazon. They had it for £50-something (reduced) and I had a £20 voucher so it was around £35 in the end. Very pleased with that. Nice set which even comes with a pair of bar glasses. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/918dtKt...

Been a buying a few CD's again lately, used 90's stuff. Really is a fantastic time to be a buyer and add to your collection(s) due to the giveaway prices on anything other than the genuinely rare or collectable. Picked up an Apollo Four Forty album and the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack for a couple...

Bought used car 2 months ago (really happy with it). Come home from 3 weeks Christmas holidays to find it sitting dead in the garage. (Probably flat battery, but can I expect this to happen again if I fix that?) It can easily happen with the battery, especially if it was weak or not properly charge...

Probably done less gaming than ever in 2018 and I REALLY can't remember everything that I've played but one new release that I have been enjoying immensely is the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Surpassed all of my expectations for a remake and - a few almost insignificant niggles aside - it has done nothi...

Liking the look of that Kunio Kun collection...doubly so since I see there is a PS4 version as well.

Usually in FE games, the tank characters aren't as strong later on but the weaker characters become the uber strong tanks later on if you put the time into levelling them up. Titania was one of my favourite characters in the Gamecube game and she was a real tank at the start of that game too but la...

Violent Storm arcade class game. Fire Emblem Wii I had to restarted this on easy and my god it’s still hard If I remember rightly, they messed up the difficulty settings when bringing Fire Emblem from Japan to the West so Easy is actually Normal, Normal is actually Hard etc. You can transfer Path o...

No. Dates and timelines for what is/isn't retro doesn't even factor into it. The games are basically the exact same as the current generation, just not as pretty. There's nothing different to look back on. Lots of games even exist on both PS3 and PS4 in up/downgraded form(s). You could level the sam...
