Loving the new headers across the top of the site - really nice :)

Got me Half-Life for 80p on PS2. Let's see what its like.

What's Half-Life like on PS2? Considering getting it.

http://uk.gamespot.com/news/wolfenstein-the-new-order-revealed-6407979

There's a new Wolfenstein game coming. I may need to clear the mess I made. 8D

The number of PS1 games that I want appears to grow longer by the second. Hehe.

Top Ten Tuesday (in no particular order) -

1) Super Mario Sunshine
2) Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
3) Sonic Advance
4) Quake 2
5) Q*Bert (am I allowed that? :-D )
6) Disney Pixar's Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue!
7) M&M's Shell Shocked
8) Pitfall: The Lost Expedition
9) Turok: Evolution
10) Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex

Have at it :-).

Lovely evening spent on t'GameCube. :-)

Quite a good bargain:

New Super Mario Bros. Wii - the grand total of of £6.99, which is much better than the £24.99 that my local GAME is charging. Happy :-).

Anybody know where on your profile is the "signature section of your user control panel"? I'm trying to embed the collection banner but I've no idea where it goes. Thx

Well, I would if we hadn't LITERALLY just had a power cut. God dammit.

Some Epic Yarn play through is commanded, being as I have less than nothing to do today :-).

Cool, thanks for the info :-).

Top Ten Tuesday (in no particular order) :

Portal - Still Alive
RoboCop (GameBoy) - Main Theme
F-Zero: GP Legend - Mute City
Super Smash Bros - Mute City Theme
Sonic Heroes - Main Theme
Tetris - GameBoy Theme
Super Mario Land - Level 1 Theme
Legend Of Zelda - Song Of Storms
Assassin's Creed II - Ezio's Family
The Legend Of Zelda (NES) - Main Theme

Bonus Track - Luigi's Mansion theme :-).

You can grab for under a 10er probz about £5-6 maybe a bit more the limited edition version

Yeah, what I figured. I've read a few reviews and everyone kind of agrees that's the best one :-). How much would it set me back, roughly?

Halo 2 is the best Halo game to date still in my eyes, and its the biggest challenge on legendary =]

What's the best Halo game for original Xbox? I've been looking to get a copy, since I got my console the other day :-).

I used to love car boot sales, but the last few times I've been I've come back empty handed, id rather have a sleep in when that happens :D

I think wandering around carboots, looking for games, improves Sundays by a million miles :-).

First boot sale was very successful; hopefully the next one is as good or better :-).

Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is barmy! Most weirdly alien yet intuitive control system I've used :-).

Nearly got a GameCube controller, but £4 was a little too much.

Hallelujah! Good on ya, that's a great wee deal! :D

hallelujah!

Hallelujah gameboymanmatt!

Will see if I ever find that game for £5 or less...

Finally! After months of fruitless searching and hunting, today was a day of revelation.

I know own Kirby's Epic Yarn.

And it only cost me £9.05

Can I get a hallelujah!?

Congrats on breaking the 100 games mark. I'm about to break 200 :)

the numbers soon go up quick, i was surprised when i seen mine lol

congrats on the 100 mark :-) lets hope the next 100 isnt far away

And I broke the 100 games in my collection mark, so that's nice :-).

Two DS games for me today:

Pipe Mania, an interesting little puzzle game
&
Rubik's World, a puzzle game involving the cubes from a Rubik's Cube. I'm not joking.

Although I may take it back cos its REALLY hard!

Completing Wolfenstein? I don't think so,not when there's a bloody water level in it! No chance!

Today's challenge: complete Wolfenstein! Or at least as much of it as I can, cause I am pretty close!

Have fun :-).

Thank you for the recommendations - written down for future game hunts :)

Yeah, it is a good series, the PS2 ones are (in my opinion) the best ones, avoid ProStreet like the plague and then the modern releases aren't too bad, but don't really have the same feel. They're not of an impossible difficulty, either, they make for a good time :-).

Oh that! I'm gonna have to give some of those a go, you're not the first person whose said they've spent hours and hours playing them. Knowing my luck the cops will catch me before I release the handbrake :(

I meant Need For Speed Most Wanted, but I couldn't be arsed to type it out. Apart from just then, obviously. :-)

What's not safe for work? :D

Close to finishing Wolfenstein! Aside from NSF:MW, this is easily the most time I've put into a single game. Worth it though!

Ignore that, GameFAQs to the rescue once again!

Anybody know where the tram entrance is on Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection? Cause I don't and its bugging me!

Well, there was literally less than nothing at that boot sale. Spent £4.50... on the entrance fee and lunch. Disappointing.

Off to a boot sale today, first one in a LONG time. See what bargains we can get!

Sadly no GameCube for me. £18 was a little bit much to justify for an unboxed console for which is use AN adapter and only a handful of games. If I can get one cheaper, then I will.

Should be getting me a GameCube today!

I think I'm just gonna get a refund cause I want to get a GameCube so I'll put the money towards that and just get an (operational) Xbox whenever I find one.

damn thats a good price! are you guna get a replacement or refund dude ? if you get a replacement you wanna get to them to show you it working in the shop before you leave

Its an original Xbox from Blockbusters. £9.99 with cables and a controller.

is it a normal xbox or a 360 and where did you get it from ?

Well, that Xbox is knackered. Both of the two games that bough for it today do exactly the same thing as the Forza disc that I bought in the first place. Damn things going back St the weekend.

Xbox console with cables and controller for £9.99...

Get it home, plug it in, red ring of death. >:s

Luigi's Mansion is very good, shame I can't play it properly till I get a GameCube

Off to CeX, and then to peruse any other shops which are around there. Although a car boot is not a bad idea, as well, thanks.

Hemel Hempstead eh? Just down the road from me then. You off to CEX or something? If so just check their website, you can view what each individual store has before you go....Or are you going car booting?

I may have a chance of getting Luigi's Mansion tomorrow! Hemel Hempstead, don't let me down!

Would you take £30 for both the gameboys?

CIB original GameBoy (aside from headphones) with Tetris Game Pak for £19. Not complaining :D

Geometry Wars: Galaxies mat be EVER so slightly addictive :D

Also, what's Geometry Wars on DS like? Seems interesting, not quite sure...

Decided not to get Metroid Prime: Hunters as I'm not really THAT interested in it. But New Super Mario Bros came today!

N.B. if anybody knows any unfamiliar DS gems, lemme know!

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing(DS)- £8.00. Got a load more games to get, though!

Crisis averted! The cart has been found still sitting in my GBA. I need to start using my eyes a little more, good grief xD

Good news and bad news...

Good News: found a DS Lite that I forgot I had.

Bad News: lost my Mario Kart Super Circuit cartridge.

Hmm.

Gone from 57 PS2 games to 21, and from 20 PS1 games to 13 within about half an hour! Funds from these are going towards either original Xbox or N64 for games room.

Goal of today: go through ALL my PS2 games and sort them - seriously need to cut back, so I can get some proper games, for want of a better word xD

Many, many updates to my collection stats have been made :)

Finally moved all my eggcups from my cabinet to make space for my GameBoys! And I have a gaming den in progress! Hi updates in the near future!

Got a big update to my game collection coming this Monday, cause it's my birthday tomorrow. and I've just bought a load of stuff.... >B)

And that's Cirus Maximus won! I was the only bidder - £1.98 collectively!

Dude I love playing really crappy games. Part for the challenge but definitely more for the laugh. Vampire rain on 360 anyone? Never kicked a vampire to death with my shins before

Trying to win an auction for Circus Maximus - Chariot Wars. A "colossal commercial failure", according to Wikipedia. >:D All the more reason to play iut!

Pirates Of The Carribbean: The Legend Of Jack Sparrow (PS2 - £1.00) - a game I've wanted for a while now, glad to ginally have it.

Reel Fishing III (PS2)- 50p. Get in!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3avXA-S4NrU It's... It's beautiful, Link. It's beautiful. :')

May be getting an N64 for mah birthday!

Two more PS2 games today - Snowboard Racer 2 and Juiced (both PS2) - the grand total of £1.80 for both :)

Well, Belgium was a massive disapointment- only things there was an overpriced SNES and some expensive PS1 games.
You've let me down, Belgium. You've let me down.

Plus I'm off to Belgium next week, so I'll see if I can any Euro goodness!

Spent roughly 4 hrs actually doing a boot sale, so not much time for game browsing.
From that boot sale and a charity shop I got:

Jet Ski Riders (PS2) - £0.50
Sonic Heroes (PS2) - £1.00
Sonic Riders (PS2) - £1.00
Super Monkey Ball (GameCube) - £1.00
Flipnic (PS2) - £0.50

Will have to post an entire PS2 collection photo, cause it now totals 33 games! (and for a poor student, thats not bad!)

More PS2 goodness -

Bust-A-Bloc: £1.00
Drome Racers: £0.75
XG3 - Extreme-G Racing: £0.75
Micro Machines V4: £2.00
AirBlade: £0.75

Total cost: £5.25

BUT, as I had a £5 CeX voucher, total moneys exchanged was on 25p. Result!

International Cue Club went back (cos it's so terrible), exchanged for Motor Mayhem. See what that's like!

International Cue Club (PS2) - £1.00
Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Challenge - £1.00, both from Cash Concepts

Not incredibly impressive, but it's stuff that I liked/wanted. And I am seriously considering getting a Barbie and a Hello Kitty game that I saw!
What is it with me and crap PS2 games, I don't even... xD

The three games bought today now brings me to the grand total of about 30-ish PS2 games. Although some of them... *shudders*

Crazy Taxi (PS2) - 50p
Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction - £1.00
London Racer II - £1.00

You beauty!

Hummer Badlands on PS2: lives up to the title.

The SP went for £46 collectively... yh, I don't have that kind of money. xD

Doesn't look like I'll be getting the GBA SP NES edition, gone way, way over budget. >:(

To me, there is nothing more relaxing or de-stressful than cleaning your collection when you havnt done it for a while. :)

*inputs gamecube disc into wii*
TV: "This disc cannot be played. Please refer to instruction manual."
*refers to manual*
Manual:"Geist will only operate on a TV running at 60Hz. If yor TV is not running at 60Hz, please contact your TV supplier for more information."
Long story short: I can't play Geist.
DAMMIT!! Well that goes back tommorrow. >:(

I have Geist - now, to see what it's like. :)

Turok is bugging me!! Cant find the freakin tek-bow!!

Should I get Geist on Gamecube? My local CeX has it but i'm not sure whether to or not.

Bought today Metal Gear Solid 2 today to try and make a profit and nearly got a beyblade gamecube game today, but to no avail. I'll go back tomoro and try and get it, tho.

Two job interviews in one week - if i get any of these, it'll mean more money for collecting!!

Started collecting strategy guides for games I may have, some I may not. First one i got is for Super Mario 3D Land: looking o get one for Zelda - Skyward Sword. Hopefully!!

Looking to get some strategy guides for game boy games; anyone have an idea where to get them from? ebay turned up nothing of use :S

Highest score EVER on Tetris DX: 145734, LVL19, 198 lines!! Boom!!

Gotta take my light gun back, because it doesnt have the pedal to make it work. And, neither do I. xD

Bought a PS1 light gun and a third party GBA case: collectively only a fiver!!

Saw this SNES on ebay, really tempted :S

Got myself a new PS1 game for only 67p: No Fear - Downhill Mountain Biking, and I have to say its not too bad! :)

Cant wait - some time this month I'm heading down to Gloucester to go to a new retro gaming shop and a huge bootsale! And hopefully I can get some good stuff!!

It's here!!!!!! My Super Mario Kart and F-Zero stuff!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!

Also, today, I got me a GameCube controller for the Wii to play SMS on, will upload a pic of it tomoro!

Won the auction!!! Super Mario Kart: Super Circuit and F-Zero Maximum Velocity for less than £7
