I actually just did this a few days ago and after putting every one of my physical games in I found 3 that needed updating. Glad I did as who knows how long I would be able to do this in the future.
I have several things from Waterfield and they are all super quality including a cityslicker for my new 3DS. It's 6 or 7 years old now and still as solid as when I bought it and my 3DS is always in it. Will probably pick one of these up after I get a OLED model.
I've got this book ordered and waiting to get it from Amazon. The HCG 101 books are great even with their above mentioned typos and grammatical errors.
I live in the states and would spend good money on GamesTM for years. I haven't read the mag in a while as I read Retro Gamer and I only have money for one pricey UK mag. I hope Retro Gamer is around for a while as I love it.
Like the others I just hope they dont mess with Retro Gamer or rise the price. $13 an issue is a lot for a magazine in America I dont know if I would pay more.
@Bluezero2x meijer is a large retail chain similar to a Walmart. They are mostly in the Midwest and they started in Grand Rapids in the great state of Michigan. I have one a quarter mile from my house so I know where I'll be.
Honestly the only company I'm disappointed with is Square Enix. I was really hoping for some Dragon Quest 7 and 8 news or more on Bravely Second. Yes I wasn't blown away by Nintendo but I'm going to wait and see how the game's turn out before I pass judgment.
I love all the books they have put out so far and they all have been fantastic! Definitely will be picking this up when it comes out, physical copy of course.
Good article. I also read about this thing in Game Fan back in the 90s. I always enjoy reading about it as I enjoyed playing my Turbo Graphx 16 back in the day. One of my favorite youtube shows,Game Sack, just did a show on the PCFX. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t7qGy1jxsM0
Untold was my first EO game and i really liked it, partly due to auto mapping and easy mode (I aint hard core). So I'm really looking forward to the next game.
