It’s my favourite time of the year, where I have to spend all my spare money on my car with insurance renewal, servicing and an M.O.T. Chucked on top with the festivities and all the money that disappears with that and finally the myriad of family birthdays. Now, if that wasn’t bad enough my uni year kickstarted again at the beginning of October which I already juggle around my full time job and now alongside my daughter who is oh so very close to walking. It’s basically game over for my free time along with me buying any really rare goodies. It saddens me.
But, not all hope is lost. No no no. As I am still fully able to horde games like the treasure hoarding cave goblin I truly am.
Now, I haven’t done much of an update since August. So I can’t be entirely sure if i’ll end up missing anything out but imma give it a blast.
The most important thing I have attained though is my Evercade which I have spammed a bit. Nevermind though. Also if you wish you will find my review on this handheld console from a wee while ago. (a lovely bit of self promotion there if I do say so.) I really enjoy this bit of kit and my small collection which will most definitely be growing in the near future.
I also round off my mainline Gran Turismo collection for the PS1 by finally purchasing 1 and 2.
I have purchased a few WWE Smackdown games for the PS2 in Here comes the pain and Shut your mouth. In my quest to get every WWE wrestling game. Which is far more vast then I had anticipated. Especially when you consider older WCW and WWF games.
Theres only 1 PSP and 3DS game. For the PSP the Metal Slug anthology. And for the 3DS Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. I still really need to work on my 3DS collection,as i’ve had one since it came out and I basically just neglected it’s existence outside of Pokemon and Monster Hunter games.
I chose to re-buy all Assassins Creed games. Having made the poor life choice over the years to trade every single one of them in. I started with the PS3 era. That is now complete as I have; 1,2,Brotherhood, Revelations,3,4 and Rogue.
And finally to round off as complete at the time of writing this. I have two new PS5 additions. As I may buy many a game over the year. Its less often that they are new games. As previously mentioned with my lack of time to play games I don’t see much point in spunking off £70 on a new game very often. I caved in pre-ordering Dragon Quest 3 -HD-2D Remake though. I wanted it, I wanted bad so I got it like a real chump. No regrets. I also bought Planet Zoo for my PS5. As I fucking love park building games and with added depth of park management it makes my knees weak. Being on offer for £20 also really helped, and I can’t move onto Planet Coaster 2 until I have attained complete mastery of this earlier entry in the planet games.
So there it is folks until sometime after the new year now. I’ll be out wasting my hard earned cash on games. And i’ll have 1 or 2 more reviews up before then as well hopefully. I have just completed Jedi survivor but no need to review as my compadre has already done one like a year ago. If you so wish to read. (Again, more self promotion. I’m feeling it today I tell ye.) I’m currently on 100% Platinum run of that bad boy cause it slaps real fucking hard. It’s great. I’ll have Planet Zoo and DMC V Special edition in the works. I do need to work on my older games which is super hard to do. Especially considering i’ve started Ratchet Gladiator, Enter the Matrix and Call of Duty 2. I may be dropping a whole plethora of content soon, who knows? I doubt it but alas I can dream.
However, I wish you all to keep up the good fight in this mostly horrid retro game market. Buy, sell and complete as many games from whatever year and generation you please. Just unwind, relax take a load off and have a banging time. You deserve it.
As always though my Tasty brothers and sisters. Stay fucking Tasty. Until next time.
