This game is pretty cool from what I can tell from the box I will never open. As you all know my brother and I collect Collector's Editions, Special Editions, Limited Editions whichever. Otomedius is a game that is inspired by another Konami series Gradius. This special edition comes with a 2 Sided Pillowcase, 68 Page Artbook and the official soundtrack. I think one of the cool aspects of the game is the 3-Player simultaneous play. Here are the covers for the game. Anymore information would be grateful for those interested in this game. First Konami Special Edition in a long time.

Hey everyone. Halo Redux is finally here!!! After watching footage of this video on the IGN a while back I figured I needed to have this game, although I have the original game on Xbox. But I have always wanted them to do a redux of the game and glad they did for it's 10 year anniversary, maybe in three years will see Halo 2!! It could happen. I bought the game today and I really like it way better than the original. The updated graphics are superb, the terminals are a great addition to the game along with the skulls (I have found the first two terminals and skulls). The updated graphics and sound add a lot to the game as one can imagine. Halo is one of the best first person shooters of all time and it set the precedent for the modern day first person shooter. But we all know Wolfenstein 3D set the overall motion of first person shooters. The game comes in a really nice slip sleep sleeve case on top of the basic Xbox case. It comes with two downloadable content cards: The first one is a free skull called Grunt Funeral which is pretty cool and also with that same card it comes with the Master Chief Uniform Avatar Download. The second card is 6 multiplayer maps for Halo: Reach. The cool thing about this Halo is that you can play Mulitplayer off Halo: Reach its on the menuu screen! How cool is that!?! Also you can enter Halo: Waypoint. The strategy guide is pretty cool it has all the mulitplayer maps, the campaign of course, and where to locate the terminals and skulls, and the achievements list another great feature added to Halo! Hope you all enjoy and there will be pictures on this one.

Hey everyone bought Call of Duty MW3 Hardened Edition today. Let me say not the best Collector's Edition game, but still it's COD. I will post pictures later but I figured I might as well let the cat out of the bag first. The game play is the same as MW2 and Black Ops, but the levels in Team Deathmatch are pretty cool. The Hardened Edition comes with a pretty cool Steelbook Case with only the game Disc as it is the only disc in the set. It comes with a registration card for Elite and a One Year Membership to Elite. It also comes with a Male and Female Avatar for your Xbox 360 Dashboard. The coolest thing other than the Steelbook case is the Journal it's awesome and detailed really well. The COD games are one of the better series out there (I am a true Halo Fan) but the game is played on the same game engine they have used for quite a few games. I mean it's classy but still needs to be updated. Overall I give this game an 8 out of 10 just based on the graphics. I am proud to have this in my collection. It took me 4 stores to find a copy of the Hardened Edition and well Best Buy had 4 behind the counter. Game Stop never carries collector's editions in stock unless somebody forgets or decides not to pick up their copy and then they get a one or two copies later from their Distribution centers. Gamers another local store (I didn't go there to get MW3) come to find out they didn't have any ordered. I tried two Game Stops (they had plenty behind the counter but were only for the Pre-Orders and there were plenty). Both Game Stops had midnight releases and for those hardcore COD Gamers out there (me not being so hardcore COD, again Halo!) I was surprised to see so many copies there. But the school I am doing my observations at kids had their parents call them in sick just so they could stay home and play the game!! Now that is dedication! I mean once Halo 4 comes out I will be requesting two days off from work! But this game is pretty good I always like a good military based game, now all we need is for COD to actually do a future battle game like they at one time planned along with Medal of Honor (because we all know how their last game turned out, I mean the PS3 one as awesome with an updated Medal of Honor Frontline copy on the disc as well - The best Medal of Honor Game Ever!). Hope you all enjoy and look out for pictures in the near future.
Hey everyone! I picked up my copy of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Collector's Edition on Tuesday at Game Stop. I pre-ordered and paid the game off a while back and couldn't wait to get it. I think the Uncharted Series is one of the best game series out there there, (well besides Halo). I know there are some great series releases this month such as Elder Scrolls, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Halo Anniversary Edition, and last month was Battlefield 3. But this one is a great release. The Collector's Edition is pretty cool the game comes in a steel book case which is in a wardrobe case. In the wardrobe case is two drawers the top drawer holds a necklace with the ring from the first game on it. The second drawer holds the belt buckle with a horseshoe that Drake wears in the games. I for one will never wear either because it de-values the game with the items being used. The steel book case is pretty cool because it has a great artwork on it the game is inside the wardrobe hanging on the door. The final item in the wardrobe is the statue. The statue is pretty detailed, I didn't take it out of the plastic because I want to keep it brand new, it also comes with an AK-47 a basic gun in the game that Drake likes to use. The game play is pretty much the same as the rest but it is exciting and can't wait to begin and finish the game (I have to finish the second game first). Also my brother purchased the strategy guide for the game, the Collector's Edition guide to be exact. The guide is a hardcover book with the Soundtrack included for the game. Hope you all enjoyed the unveiling and here are some pictures to go with it.

Hey everyone. A while back I posted a blog about my strategy guide collection and hopefully someday we can add them on here. My brother is working on developing a site that anyone can upload their Strategy Guides, gaming magazines (Nintendo Power, Game Pro, Game Expert, etc.). Again this site is under development so once it is up and running we could use everyone's help to build a database (hopefully we can work closely with RF Generation). SO I promised a while back that I would post pictures of our Strategy Guides. But first a list of my favorites and our most valuable.
Favorites:
1. Batman Arkham City Limited Edition Guide
2. Kingdom Hearts 1 & II
3. Legend of Zelda - All the ones we have
4. All our official Nintendo Players Guides such as Final Fantasy 3 and Chrono Trigger, and more.
5. Secret of Mana
There's more but these are to just name a few.
Most Expensive:
1. Legend of Zelda Tips and Tactics
2. Lego Star Wars Complete Saga
3. Lego Indiana Jones 1
4. Chrono Trigger
5. Breath of Fire 1 & 2
Those are just some I could think of which are kind of pricey but there are some more.
So here are the pictures enjoy!

Hey fellow game collector's. I pre-order and picked up Batman Arkham City Collector's Edition from Game Stop on Tuesday. The game play is fantastic, it's a good improvement from Batman: Arkham Asylum. During the game you start off as Bruce Wayne, then turn into Batman, then you play a few levels of Catwoman. This is just for starters as I have yet to complete the game, but it will take a while with all the side missions and Riddler Trophies. The map is huge!! A great improvement is you start with some pretty cool items, you can take down more than one enemy at a time now, and you can counter on more than one person. Catwoman is fast moving and quite fun to play as.
Now on to the Unveiling, the Xbox 360 and PS3 both come with a Batman Statue in his crouch or pounce position, the statue is great and very well designed. When you open the box it folds out and you have the city at your hands as it looks (yes there will be pictures posted). On the back side of the opened case is where you find the art book and your instructions, one in English and of course one in Spanish, also it comes with a Batman Arkham City Catalog. But in the back of the art book is the game disc. Then in the front you have this drawer where all the bonus material is. The first item(s) are three code redeems 1. Play As Catwoman Download, 2. Batman: The Dark Knight Rises Skin 3. Iceberg Lounge Challenge Map. Then the next thing is a Beta test for Gotham City Imposters, then there is a Collector's Edition Exclusive for Batman Arkham City The Album. The Final Item and most confusing one at that: Batman Gotham Knights it says on the back of the Game Box its supposed to be Blu-Ray but I think it is a misprint as mine comes with a DVD (ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM FOR XBOX 360 Version LET ME KNOW!) honestly I think it's supposed to be the DVD because Xbox as we know doesn't support Blu-Ray Discs. But I guess there are some other issues. But I emailed the appropriate people to see if this problem will be fixed. Although I think it's kind of unique and cool to have an error.
Also I bought the hardcover Limited Edition Strategy Guide. I have the Batman Cover and there is a Catwoman cover out there. It comes with litographs. This guide is pretty cool.
Now here are the pictures.

Hello fellow gamers. My brother and I had a nice haul from one of our favorite places to shop in CB, Iowa. We got 12 NES games complete in there boxes. Well that's not all folks all but three are sealed. The games we got were:
1. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - 2 Copies ONE SEALED and One Opened.
2. Dragon Power (Discussed this one in an earlier blog). NEW SEALED
3. Flying Warriors - NEW SEALED
4. Friday The 13th - ONE NEW SEALED and One Opened. The cool thing is both are alternate versions of one another one is the Round Seal and the other is the Oval Seal.
5. George Foreman's KO Boxing - NEW SEALED
6. Guerrilla War - NEW SEALED
7. Kabuki Quantum Fighter - NEW SEALED
8. Magmax - NEW SEALED
9. Ultimate Stuntman - NEW SEALED
10. Wizards and Warriors - Opened
The cool thing is they are all in PRISTINE to MINT Condition. Even the sealed games wrappings are in Mint condition no flaking or tearing. Also I know these aren't rare games but having NEW SEALED NES games is hard to come buy especially when you only spend $60.00 in Trade (my brother traded his magic cards) and $50.00 in cash for the games. So basically we got all 12 games for $50.00.
The other thing we got from our favorite place today is mint condition complete in box Atari 2600 Wireless Remote Joysticks! For $20.00! It's even packaged in the Styrofoam in the inside!!! How cool is that!?! Sometimes when you find Atari stuff they are gutted and there is no Styrofoam which really blows!
The day before (also when I found out about the games) I bought Final Fantasy Tactics Strategy Guide, Prima Edition for $5.00 and sells for quite a bit.
Another thing my brother bought off eBay brand new in box is Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. It is also in Excellent Condition.
So all in all spent about $75.00 at our store in CB, IA and $30.00 on eBay. So a total of approximately $105.00 is pretty good.
SO here are the pictures let me know what you think!

So I was drinking a Pepsi Throwback and eating some Cheetos, then I thought I should make a blog different from my others. So here it is Games with Food or Beverage Companies. I am only going to name a few as there are about 50 or so games out there. The first couple that come to mind well back to Pepsi and Cheetos.
Coca-Cola - Pepsi Invaders & Coca-Cola Kid
Back in the 1980's there was a classic Atari 2600 game that is hard to find Pepsi Invaders also known as "Coke Wins!, Pepsi and Coke"!! This game is pretty cool! Unfortunately all I have is the ROM. The cart doesn't come with any labeling but a white strip that was type written and only given to Coke employees as a promotional gig. Hmmm maybe my friend who works for Coke can get me one! That would be pretty sweet huh!!! Coke has another game that was released on the Game Gear only in Japan called Coca-Cola kid the game pretty cool, easy to get your hands on it if you purchase from eBay.
Pepsi - Pepsiman
Pepsiman is a Japanese game for the PlayStation released in 1999, featuring the Japanese mascot for Pepsi, Pepsiman. The gameplay itself is entirely on rails, consisting of Pepsiman running from one end of the level to the other, picking up Pepsi cans and using Pepsi-branded vending machines on the side. This game is really rare.
Cheetos
Chester the Cheetah had two games released on Sega and Super Nintendo. These games were just basic platform games.
McDonald - M.C. Kids
I know McDonald's has had quite a few games released some on PC and what not. But M.C. Kids on the NES is a pretty awesome platform game that kind or reminds me of Super Mario Bros. 2 and Rescue Rangers on NES.
Domino's Pizza
Yo! Noid was a classic Saturday Morning cartoon commercial character and when a game for the NES came out I was there at Phar-Mor (now owned by some conglomerate, the store was kind of like a giant Walgreen's with a huge video store attached to it). The game is a pretty sweet platform game in which you control Noid. He had other games that came out on other systems, but he is one the most classic 80's food icons. Today I hate Domino's and there's no Noid as their spokes person.
California Rasins
Who doesn't remember the jazz and music playing grapes?!?! I remember them well singing such songs as Heard it Through The Grapevine and so on. They had a game released as a Prototype for the NES. You can download the Rom the game is pretty cool.
7-Up
Spot! Yes that crazy character had many games that were released, such as Spot! The Video game For NES which plays like checkers in my opinion and Spot! Goes to Hollywood which was released on several systems. Spot! Goes to Hollywood is a great game for a platform game unlike his NES counterpart which can be quite boring. But a little background about Spot is he was another commercial character in the 80's who was great at promoting his product 7-Up he's still around but as a silent red dot on the bottle that 7-Up still has but as most commercials have become they all loose their characters that attract kids, and he was the first to go.
The last one I would like to talk about is Kool-Aid
Kool-Aid Man on the Atari 2600 and Intellivision is a pretty cool game unfortunately he didn't have any other releases. He does occasionally show up in say an episode of Family Guy. But his commercials were awesome! He is still around today getting kids to drink their Kool-Aid so how about another game! It would have to be way better than the company I will only mention once the games for Xbox mentioned by the other burger joint oh yeah Burger King, those games are CRAPPY!!!!! Sorry for those who like them.
So I hope you all enjoyed this blog if any of you want to add more information just post a comment and we can talk from there, also if you have any other game that you want to talk or add on to this list leave a comment.
Thanks.
Hey everyone. My brother and I did a little shopping last week and a week before he bought a nice package off of eBay from Japan. My brother and I ended up going to Lincoln, Nebraska last Thursday and spent a few dollars and got quite a few great things. This is probably the best Game Hunt we have had in a long time. First stop was Salvation Army on the way to Gamers my brother bought a PC game The Ancient Art of War At Sea complete in box for $2.00. Second stop Gamers number 1 in Lincoln. I purchased a complete SEARS Video Arcade (Intellivision). The box and everything is in great shape! Paid $65.00 for it and it was a great purchase. Along with the Intellivision. Also I bought Quake 2 complete in Box for N64 not shown in picture. I also bought a couple of strategy guides not shown in the pictures Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Rouge Spear and Fear Effect 1. My brother purchased another item not pictured (sorry some items aren't going to be pictured they weren't around the table until after I took the shots, but if you want proof I can provide pictures LOL) he bought Persona 2 Collector's Edition for the PSP and Space Jam on Sega Saturn. Then we were off to Best Buy and my brother got Bioshock 2 Collector's Edition for PC! Then we went to Games 2 in Lincoln. I bought a semi-rare PS1 game in Mint Condition Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! (Yes I bought the other PS1 Castelvania Game but will get to that later).

Then we went to a place called the Gameroom in Downtown Lincoln, he bought Railroad Tycoon Deluxe for $8.00 and not even used. Then we found out they had a second store so we went there and it was a good day for strategy guides. I bought Romancing Saga, Tales of Vesperia, Donkey Kong 64 (with EB Games Cover), and Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb. Then on the way out of town we went to a good Antique Store we bought only a couple of things my brother bought the Pac-Man card game from Milton Bradley in mind condition Copyright year 1980 and I bought the Nintendo Power for $3.00. So that was the adventures in Lincoln.

Then we went on to the second Gamers by Best Buy, jackpot! Bought Super Mario Bros. 2, Narc, Ice Hockey, Karate Champ, and Commando CHEAP GAMES! Well Super Mario was $13.00 but worth it. All games were complete, and I got the NES Controllers Complete in Box for Free, and I purchased Eternal Darkness strategy guide.

The other day my brother purchased a bunch of Famicom Games from Japan. The jewel of them all MOTHER!

Hey everyone these are a few items my brother and I purchased. We have some more so keep an eye out for some blogs. Also we are going down to Lincoln, Nebraska this week to hit up a few places on top of getting a few things here and on eBay. So the few items that will be pictured one of them is a Nintendo Club Item which is the "?" Box. It is a Super Mario Bros. Character's statue. This item is very cool and can catch a good price my brother pulled it in a good price on eBay. Then there is Theme Park for DOS yeah that's right DOS! We got it for $1.00 at Salvation Army! Then the Coleco Colotron! This is the second Coleco Plug-in item from the 70's my brother and I have gotten. The item is in MINT condition and probably has never been used, $4.00 yes that's right folks FOUR DOLLARS not FORTY or Fourteen--FOUR!!! It has the manual and everything. The next item is a pack of Micro Adventures Books for the PC full pack for $8.00 at Half-Price Books. Then what I think is the best pull is the Golden Sun Dual Strategy guide for both games on GBA AND WITH THAT purchase it also came with both GBA GAMES carts Only, but it's all good, we already have Golden Sun 1 complete in box. ALL of those for $25.00 on eBay! The next item up is P.T.O II for Sega Saturn complete mint condition in Box on eBay for $7.00. Okay take back the previous statement on the Golden Sun as great pull. The next two items are also very nice. The next one is the complete TETRIS Family on FAMICOM! We have Tetris, Tetris 2 (NOT THE SAME AS TETRIS 2 in the USA) and TETRIS FLASH (Which is our Tetris 2 here in America). The next item is a MINT CONDITION BRAND NEW Breath of Fire 2 Strategy guide by Prima, we have two of this guide and this is the best one yet! CAN sell on eBay for a hefty price. I love this book it is amazing and very very beneficial to beating the game 100 percent. The final item is Sim Classics or Maxis 2 Collection. It comes with Sim City Classic, SimEarth and SimFarm. This is 100 percent complete even has the huge instruction manual. My brother got his at Goodwill Bytes (an electronics spin off from Goodwill) for a big whopping $2.00! OH BONUS ITEM! Thought it was over huh? Well the last picture is of Prince of Persia Sands of Time Movie Trailer played before Toy Story 1 and 2 3D and various other movies before it came out. How I got this you might ask?!?! Well my brother used to work for Star Cinema, well now AMC, that's how we got it. Anyone else have anything like this?!?!?
Now folks here are the pictures. I will have a picture of the statue out of the box soon just not on this blog.

Hey EVERYONE! My brother and I went down to Topeka, Kansas this weekend with our parents for a little road trip. When I was working for CD Tradepost we had a "Manager's Rally" back in March. We went to visit the competition and the store we went to was called Vintage Stock a Oklahoma based company. This store was monstrous, they have old school video games to recent ones, comics, new and used dvd/blu-rays, vhs, baseball cards, clearly a fantastic hobby store. We were in there for about an hour and a half. We went through every game only looking for good deals on great titles. SO WE DID I was in the N64 section and way in the back I found it, a some what "holy grail" for the N64. This game was only a rental title and was only released in limited quantities. I once saw this game sell complete in box on eBay for $800.00 and the next item was just a cartridge and it sold for over $200.00!!! We bought this mint condition cartridge for only $12.99!!! Couldn't believe it!!! They also had a few other games and they are pictured in the first picture, but the "game hunt" game is the next photo. Hope you all enjoyed this blog with many more to come, some tomorrow (quite possibly rare NES and NES Games, and possibly a second blog of Rare Strategy guides). SO ENJOY!!!

Hey Everyone! I promised a second post and here it is. OUR VERY OWN SPECIAL EDITION COLLECTION in OUR Collection. My brother and I as you know collect odds and ends in our collection. We have a ton of Special Edition games and it keeps growing with release of new games that have Special Editions, like HALO:REACH we already have the Legendary Edition on pre-order, and my brother is also thinking about getting the Limited Edition HALO:REACH XBOX360, we already have the HALO 3 Edition, but why not more huh?!?! Most of the games are pretty recent, the oldest one in the photos is the Collector's Edition of Legend of Zelda: Orcarina of Time on the N64. I bought that game for $10.00 at CD Tradepost a few years back, sells for pretty decent on eBay. The Special Edition Collection is one of our prized aspects in our collection, we have spent a lot of money on these and continue to do so to grow and expand and hopefully someday have the biggest "SPECIAL EDITION" Collection in the hobby. The pictures below will have descriptions on what games are listed in there. SO!! Enjoy and don't drool please, its embarassing.

HEY EVERYONE!!! This is going to be the first entry of my brothers' and mine Game Hunt. Also I will be posting pictures of our collection on my collection page. My brother and I went out shopping for his birthday today (which his b-day is actually tomorrow). We went to a place we haven't been for a while and we used to go there all the time. This place usually has some pretty good deals, we know the guy personally, on a first name basis. We walked in looked around and then my brother waved me over to look at some stuff laying on the counter. And my eyes lit up!! Some of this stuff we have never seen before. Except for the Turbo Grafx Games. Keep reading down, I have posted info on each picture on the find. The Total Bill was $45.00 ON ALL OF THIS!!! (Except Time Gal was separate it was $25.00 in great condition). HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER!!!

Hey everyone! I picked up my copy of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Collector's Edition on Tuesday at Game Stop. I pre-ordered and paid the game off a while back and couldn't wait to get it. I think the Uncharted Series is one of the best game series out there there, (well besides Halo). I know there are some great series releases this month such as Elder Scrolls, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Halo Anniversary Edition, and last month was Battlefield 3. But this one is a great release. The Collector's Edition is pretty cool the game comes in a steel book case which is in a wardrobe case. In the wardrobe case is two drawers the top drawer holds a necklace with the ring from the first game on it. The second drawer holds the belt buckle with a horseshoe that Drake wears in the games. I for one will never wear either because it de-values the game with the items being used. The steel book case is pretty cool because it has a great artwork on it the game is inside the wardrobe hanging on the door. The final item in the wardrobe is the statue. The statue is pretty detailed, I didn't take it out of the plastic because I want to keep it brand new, it also comes with an AK-47 a basic gun in the game that Drake likes to use. The game play is pretty much the same as the rest but it is exciting and can't wait to begin and finish the game (I have to finish the second game first). Also my brother purchased the strategy guide for the game, the Collector's Edition guide to be exact. The guide is a hardcover book with the Soundtrack included for the game. Hope you all enjoyed the unveiling and here are some pictures to go with it.
