Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy as we had always known it here in the States) was the second game released by developer Quantic Dream, all the way back in 2005. Alright, so that really wasn't all that long ago. Perhaps it seems odd to 'remaster' a ten year old game, but for this game, I think there's some justification. While the visuals were already great, Indigo Prophecy has had a history of censorship outside of Europe as well as a clumsily handled PC port if you wanted to play with a controller (which was the control type that the game really seemed designed for). So on its ten year anniversary, let's take a look at this cult classic. But be forewarned, it's pretty tough to talk about a game like Indigo Prophecy without some spoilers and potentially NSFW discussion thrown in (though both are avoided for the purposes of this article).

Day 24
Last night I heard a gunshot again. Sure enough, come morning my formerly clean yard is swarming with zombies. Luckily they haven't noticed me, but I don't know how long I can go peeking from behind the curtains before I am spotted. To make matters worse, the water has shut off, and there are too many zombies milling around outside for me to dispose of without risking infection. All of my carefully laid plans (fortified shelter, food, weapons, and the beginnings of a garden) have gone to waste. I figure I can last a week with my current supplies. If the swarm doesn't thin out by then I will have to abandon my shelter, trusting that I can eventually evade them and perhaps start over again in another part of Muldraugh. Until then, I have enough books and magazines to keep me sane. If only the power had held out I could read into the night, like when I was a boy. I can only pray that the swarm thins out so I can scavenge for food and water.

Now that RetroWorld Expo is official, we have kicked everything into high gear. The pre-planning phases have shifted into live planning and things are moving very quickly. Throughout the process, it's important that we keep everyone informed about what we are planning and all of the work that goes into the show. In this entry, I'll talk about our tickets, why they aren't on sale yet and when they will be on sale.

Counting down my final week here going to college. Then my rich game collecting grounds will be gone for another year. Ive had a blast collecting here. Some stuff i pay pretty much full price for but sometimes you find a deal like today. I saw an ad on kijiji last week for some n64 games. Contacting the guy regarding a couple titles like super mario 64 and bomber man 64. Finally got ahold of him and went to pick up the games. He invited me in and said he had more but hasn't posted any of it. Sweet , don't mind if i take a look. He had a lot of stuff from turbo grafix up to the new consoles and everything had a price. He had a boxed mint nes and snes but was asking too much for me to feel comfortable paying.
In the end i bought bomber man 64 but then he pulled out a box of games and said there were a few more he was selling. I grabbed a handful of games out the box and the first two i saw was Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG !!! Asked how much he he wanted and ended up buying both for $40 CDN !!! steal of a deal ,also walked away with a NES Max controller, a couple nes games and a Gameboy in the carrying case with Tetris ( Of Course), 3 Pokemons and a Donkey Kong land 2 . Great find and was a great guy to deal with. Since I've been here I've added at least 50 more titles to my game library and i think there may have only been one or two sports games. Too bad I'm going back north, can only hope some good garage sales come up when the ground starts to thaw. Logging off and Happy Collecting

Today was a great day. Was at the local store and overheard the owner talking about this guy with 35 snes games who came in the store to sell. It included some good ones like harvest moon , mega man x and a few others. He said he made an offer but the guy said he would put them on kijiji and try to get more. So later that night it i saw it on kijiji. It was a good list but asking a 1000 bucks ! I emailed him asking if he would sell any separate and waited. Haven't had much luck since I've been in town on kijiji. Usually no one replies. But he did. So i grabbed 4 from him, TMNT Turtles in Time, Super Punch Out, Earthworm Jim and Final Fight. Ive been trying to find Turtles in Time and Super Punch Out since I've been in town. Some people have them but only want to trade and i don't have much with me to trade. Great Addition to the collection, tried them out and they're awesome ..... Logging off and happy collecting.

Sega's surprise launch of the Saturn in North America caught retailers and developers off guard. As a result, the pickings were slim. The Saturn's Japan launch happened only six months before the North American launch, so most Japanese third parties did not have anything ready for international release either. The launch date that was originally announced was September of 1995 for North America, but instead, they decided to launch it in May, right in the middle of E3! For a gamer that was anxiously anticipating the Saturn, that might sound like a good deal at first, but it meant that many games would be a full four months behind the launch. As a result, only Sega's first party games were available at first, but there was a decent spread of genres available. Panzer Dragoon was one of these games and became Sega's cinematic action game for the North American launch.

Well back in town for my final two weeks at the local college. Sat up in class pretty much thinking about what games and systems i could buy next. Kept checking my phone every 5 minutes to see if the local retro game store had updated their stock for the day. Then boom, they put out a whole bunch of Snes games. There were quite a few decent ones like super Mario kart, final fantasy 3, legend of zelda, street fighter 2. One of my class mates who also collect was heading down right away so i got him to pick up street fighter 2 turbo for me. Then after class i went to the store my self where i purchased another 5 nes games and two more Snes games. He also had a Nes Advantage controller there for 10$ . Couldn't resist, but being me i figured id hit up the pawn stores before i made my way back to my little pale blue room that i was renting in this older couples basement.
The first store i went into i saw there was a Super Mario 64 cart sitting in there display. I've always had this game but this weekend i was looking through kijiji and some guy had posted a bunch of N64 games for sale. One of them being Harvest Moon 64 and a few others like Golden Eye. I messaged him asking how much for Harvest Moon and he replied that he would trade for a Super Mario 64. No brainer trade for me, as Super Mario 64 would be easy to replace. So while waiting to pick up harvest moon the guy texts me and asks if i want to buy his other 8 games for 20$ which included Goldeneye, tony hawk 1,2,3 , beetle racing and a few others. So in sort i replaced my 64 right away. Also couldn't leave the store without buying a very clean Nes with two controllers , zapper, and mario/duck hunt. i was getting ready to go home when i had a notification on my phone for an ad i had placed looking for some snes controllers because my wife had sold my extras by accident when she was dealing a transaction for me. So i went to the guys place and got three more nintendo brand controllers to replace mine. He also had a Nintendo 64 with the atomic purple controller CIB. Needless to say i purchased this as well. So all in short it was an expensive day in my video game collecting .
What kind of limits do everyone set for themselves? worse thing for me is once i go back home . there isn't really much selection for retro gaming and whats out there you overpay and have to see it first or its gone.
Here is my Nintendo enriched Episode # 83 with all the Nintendo that you need to get through a busy work day of reading those gaming forums , blogs and pages.
When we were little kids tossing a football or shooting a basketball, we rarely stayed ourselves for long. Even if we didn't know any popular athlete's names, we were the star of the game; kicking the ball through the defense, knocking out the winning home run, slamming the puck into the net in our imagination. If we weren't pretending to be Michael Jordan or Arnold Palmer, we were a superior athletic version of ourselves, making all the right moves and showing off our skill to the crowd of our mind's eye.
Even for sports-challenged adults, such as I, a good book or movie takes us to a different place or time, our thoughts vicariously transporting us somewhere else for awhile. The potential benefits of such mental journeys extend well beyond escapism and can be informative, reflective, inspiring, even transforming.
Being the newest media on the block, video games embody much of the potential and problems of its siblings. As technology grows in leaps and bounds, so too grows our toolsets to create previously unheard-of experiences in the interactive entertainment realm. And yet, we can still use many of the same methods of examining our perspective as in other media.

Nostalgia can be cruel. We've all been there. You know that game that you swear you loved back in the day? And then you play it years later and almost wish it had just remained a quaint memory that you used to have. That's a little bit how I feel right now about the Double Dragon Trilogy, the new PC re-release of the first three arcade games. But to be fair, these aren't awful games. Well, at least two of them aren't. So let's take a closer look.
Continue reading Review: Double Dragon Trilogy
For whatever reason, I've only been playing games at night lately, hence the title. Anyway, here's what I've been playing lately. Grab some popcorn, this is a long one!
[img width=215 height=294]http://www.killerinstinctcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/KI-Season-2-box.png[/img]
Everyone knows I love Killer Instinct. It's the best fighting game ever. Recently, Version 2.3 was released via Update, and it included a new character, Omen, who totally kicks ass! He's a bit weak when it comes to actually doing damage, but he makes up for it by being able to do a lot of hits in one combo, often going up to 30 Hits or more! He's definitely my 2nd Character now, as my first will always be Jago. Also, here's his awesome Death Metal Theme!

Although I beat Dark Souls on the Xbox 360 a while back, I recently decided to go through it again (except on PC) to hype myself up for the Dark Souls 2 Enhanced Port coming for PS4 and Xbox One. Unfortunately, without a mod called DSFix, this game is broken performance-wise. It can also be hard to use for one who has never used a PC Mod or edited a .ini file. Fortunately, there are guides on the internet that teach you how to use it.

Finally! A game with bright colors and a cheerful atmosphere! I welcome this game with open arms into my Steam Library! Although it wasn't exactly perfect upon release, it's gradually being fixed with patches. This is actually a remake of the first Hyperdimension Neptunia game for PS3, and quite frankly, it is so much better now! Give it a try!

Not many people liked this game as I recall, but I do. Being able to play through 3 different campaigns is one thing, but the fact that one of those campaigns lets you play as a deadly Xenomorph makes this game all that much better. I can tell you right now, it's quite satisfying to stalk your enemies, them being completely unaware that your there waiting for them.

Before I bought this game, I had heard many good things about it. That being said, I bought it on those things, but this game is just plain awful. It punishes you for doing the most basic things, and it's plot is also stupid. I tried to like this game, I did, but it's simply awful, and I am absolutely serious in the following statement when I say that Bubsy 3D for the PS1 was a better game than this. If you like it, that's fine, but I think it's awful.
Whew...that's it for now! Check back soon for more!

SO........ away from home going to college 5 weeks down with 2 left to go. Not sure if I'm the typical collector, always get the funny look when i say i enjoy collecting video games. Always loved video games growing up and I've owned most of the systems from Nintendo /Nes to the Xbox One. Didn't really start collecting up to about a year and a half ago. Saw an ad on a local classified for a Nes with 22 games!! even had the 10 place grey holders. I scooped it up and since that day i've been always looking for that next big deal. I must say at first it was awesome, no one was really collecting. I bought some nice lots and managed to find a few gems like E.V.O. Search for Eden for next to nothing. Then about 6 months into it , other locals starting placing ads and buying everything up. The worse thing was these locals would just buy the lots and try to resell to you for a lot more. Where I'm from in Northern Canada people make some pretty good coin so some of these games and systems where going for stupid prices. It was becoming harder and harder to find a good deals or games in general. I spend a lot of time checking pawn stores and thrift shops etc. Even the thrift stores started jacking up their prices. My city pretty much dried up, we did have a play and trade but the usual no stock and high prices shut them down pretty quickly.
But as i was saying above I'm currently in another city going to college. Its been great from a collecting stand point. Im a huge Nintendo Fan , especially Nes , Snes and N64. Ive bought so much stuff and found some decent deals. There is a game store in this city called Game Quest. I'm sure people here have heard about it. Its amazing , super friendly owner and staff and they always seem to have a pretty good selection of games to choose from. Going to log off for the night. Get to go home tomorrow for a visit to see my wife and kid. Ill have to sneak my purchases in so I'm not divorced by the time my 7 weeks are up lol. Logging off and Happy Collecting!
