Managed to hunt down this gem, well not that rare but I always wanted the limited edition tony hawk game. Been looking for this for a while and finally decided to grab it. As per wiki description; this game fixes a few glitches found in the normal edition and add a few extra characters and possibly a map. Will need to grab video converter box for PS2 games to display correctly on HD television and I am ready to roll.
That’s right, Biohazard 4/Code Veronica had a psychical release in Japan and I am about to hunt it down like a stray dinosaur. As a Resident Evil die hard fan and psychical lover, I find things like these very attractive and within a few years they gonna be rare. The problem is, I work hard (like most people) to support my gaming hobbies and the expensive for life are getting higher so that leaves me with very little to spend.
Any way, I will try to hunt it down once my paycheck gets sent to me all before the arrival of the physical Resident Evil remastered next month. Will keep ya all posted.
Steam is 2K sale for up to 80% on the entire catalog. Most notable is Bioshock bundle for only $10.19 along with the season pass for $9.99.
Check out the whole sale on Steam.
Capcom is one of my all time favorite developer with amazing games over the years, the problem is; they don’t know when to stop. This is like the 4th street fighter 4 and with the latest rumors it wont be the last. I am all up for updating games and good DLC but this is stupid. Releasing boxed version for the 4th time with only a minor change will make you look desperate and just want to milk the game to death.
Now this edition actually has a few extra characters instead of skins so its worth mentioning all the changes:
Ultra Combo Double allows players to choose both of their character’s Ultra Combos at the cost of doing less damage. This gives players more options in their tactics and play styles.
Red Focus Attack is a Focus Attack that absorbs multiple hits. By holding the usual Medium Punch and Medium Kick buttons, plus the Light Punch button, the player’s character will flash red as they charge their Focus Attack. It is still subject to the same weaknesses as the former with Armor Breaking moves and throws.
Delayed Standing (similar to “Tactical Recovery” from Capcom vs. SNK 2) allows players to alter the timing of their character’s wake-up, when they are getting back on their feet. By pressing any two buttons when the character is slammed down in a hard knockdown (similar in the fashion of performing a Quick Stand), the character will take a few extra frames to get back on their feet, disrupting the wake-up game of the attacking opponent.
five new characters: Rolento, Elena, Hugo and Poison.
My take on the whole thing is, this should have been the first upgrade/DLC for street fighter 4. Like I said, releasing that many with more to come make you look desperate and I’m not even sure if the upgrades can sell that much considering you know that the next upgrade will be released in the near future.
Let me know what you thing, thanks for reading.
So as promised earlier on twitter, I will be starting my GTA experience from 3 and onward. Last night, I managed to install and play GTA 3 on PC of which I bought earlier on steam. To start off I set everything to high and maxed out the resolution for the best possible outcome. Setting up Xbox 360 controller with this game takes allot of work and downloading so I used mouse and keyboard.
I noticed that something funny is going on with the screen with broken edges (aliasing) but the frame rate was stable. I got used to the sensitivity of the camera movement and hijacked my first car. As I progressed and learned the game I realized that was missing on great games. Now my brother kept on saying that this is arguably the worst GTA and that the later titles are way better I insisted on finishing this game as I like the character and the settings.
I am yet to use a skin but I like the way they set it up, just like every PC game should be; customizable.
Doing missions is kinda repetitive but that’s GTA 3 for ya. So far I hijacked a few cars and enjoyed the physics. Im still working on my aim but I guess you cant get used to everything within 30 minutes. I am looking forward to continue playing and trying San Andreas as I already own it on the original Xbox.
The graphics look kinda old but playable and to be honest, I am very late to the party so cant complain. All in all, the game is enjoyable and I am sure things will get interesting along the way. I recommend it as its very cheap and fun.
PS: The comments are still broken, I receive and see them but for some reason they do not appear on the blog for everyone else. Never the less, thank you very much for the support guys. I am working to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey is now coming to PS4 alongside the PC as a timed exclusive which does not bother me much but the hypocrisy of some does. When Microsoft does it; everyone loss their minds. When Sony does it; Genius.
Let me clarify something: I have every console made from 3rd generation going onward so its not that I hate someone but the hypocrisy is killing me. My take: Good for Sony to secure another exclusive although I fail to see a big impact but good job never the less.
The game will be coming alongside its PC plan in late 2014. Dreamfall is one of the greatest point and click ever made although I still think the first chapter will still be the greatest but good game.

You red it right folks, BioHazard aka Resident Evil remastered will be coming as a physical DVD this November. As hard as it is to hunt it down, it will be coming in 4 different editions for as low as $50.
It is a great news for physical lovers such as my self so we can display it with pride on our shelves. Note that the physical version is only coming to PS3 much like the physical Code veronica and Resident Evil 4.
Will update you once more news arrive.
Sega, it’s been two long years since you released this in japan with no word on the English Phantasy Star Online 2 as of yet. I remember seeing PSO on Game Network years ago and was immediately amazed that a console can do MMORPG, well sort of. I picked episode II on both GameCube “English + Japanese version) and the original Xbox. I even picked up the horrible Phantasy Star Universe on both the PS2 and PC as well as both the PSP versions all just to show love toward Sega and the franchise.
In return, we non Japanese gamers are yet to receive even a simple news. I do not understand the reason for such delay as the game can easily become big in no time due to the fact that it is free to play with micro transactions.
I remember the good old days where I used to wake up early and stay late to level up my character although I did not make it past the final stage in episode I. I also got the chance to try online play after buying the not so cheap GameCube internet adapter just to can join the online community.
I really that SEGA sort this out and open the game to all with English menus and subtitles.

Resident Evil was and still is big, no one can deny it. However, things have changed since the the fourth installment was introduced and kept going in the new direction all while facing decline. What ever true Resident Evil fan was asking for is simple; A survive horror game with zombies.
Capcom however had something else in mind ignoring the fan base and kept on pushing the copo action game. All was lost until Resident Evil Remastered was announced. Not only did this news brought joy to my heart along with most if not all Resident Evil fans, it sparked hope that the game will finally be heading back to its roots.
After the polished version of Resident Evil 4 hit Steam as Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD edition, I must say I’m looking forward to the PC version as it will most likely be the ultimate version due to the obvious reasons. Strangely enough Wii U is not included in the list but I am sure that it will make the list sometime soon. The Xbox 360 and PS4 will be 720p while the rest is 1080p but that’s hardly a deal breaker for anyone.
Seen Resident Evil Remake Remastered in HD in its full glory is the biggest eye candy I have ever seen. I’m not saying the game has the best graphics or engine, what I am saying is that as an old school Resident Evil fan; it is the best HD remake that I can ever ask for.
The benefits that will make this a must own and better than the original GameCube Remake:
and hopefully few other things like online Rankings.
The other thing I want to stress on is that should this game sell which I am sure it will; Capcom will hopefully seriously consider remaking Resident Evil 2,3 and Code Veronica as a proper Resident Evil 1 remake and make them available to all considering they will not spend on packing as it will be digital release only.
Lets hope and wait for more news on this important and great announcement.
