Just ordered Dark Void for PS3 from shopto, not supposed to be Earth-shatteringly good but got to be worth a punt at £3.85 including delivery :shock: http://www.shopto.net/PS3/VIDEO%20GAMES/PS3DA05-Dark%20Void.html (not even preowned!)

My mum gave me her lime green DS lite today, which she has used maybe half a dozen times, since my dad bought it for her for Xmas a few years back. Not the best idea he's ever had, as my mum can't even work her radio properly :lol: Still, nice for me as the machine is effectively new. :D Dunno what she's done to the box though....looks like she tried feeding it to the neighbour's dog :shock:

I have the first 3 if its the same ones im thinking of. unfortunately volume 2 is an old print and its very hard to read as the text is slightly blurred. The art in them is great though

Its worth £3.85 for sure. It has some neat idea's and the jetpack is awesome to fly around using, I just feel it could have been utilised more plus the games plot and locations really fall apart in the final third of the game :(

decided to grab Neverdead for PS3 as really appealed to me. ( I seem to remember a MD game where you chucked body parts - maybe De-Cap attack??)

also picked up 'Incoming' for my Dreamcast

trying to create a little space so I traded in my nes and snes and picked up a retron 3 console which plays nes snes and genesis games....

Works fine and allows me to play genesis games through av cables or svideo if I choose....
Just scroll on down..its only me and no one cares what I say..I don't know why I post...I might delete this post

A brand new New Super Mario Bros. (DS) - bought six DS games in CeX for £15, Gamestation gave me £29 trade-in. Can't complain about that - £15 for a spiffy fresh one or stay in CeX and buy one that looks like it was fed to a dog for £22?

Kingdom Hearts I and II, Valkyrie Profile 2 and Persona 4 for the PS2, £1.99 each from Gamestation. I also bought Dino Crisis for the same price from a charity shop.

I feel like I've done well.

Good news is you can probably add a zero to the end of that price and sell it on

I picked it up at Gamestation in Glasgow, I was really surprised that nobody else had picked it up at that price (presumably it had been around since the big sale). I don't know if I'll sell it just yet, I want to see where it goes plot wise. I owned the previous game, but sold it off, much to my regret. I bought it again for the PSP but it just isn't as good, with the removal of all animations etc.

Pretty chuffed with this! (Sherlock Holmes Vol. 2 on Mega-CD) - was £8.00 delivered from eBay but it is in absolutely mint condition. It's almost as if it's never been played, which is crazy talk. Who wouldn't want to watch the same FMV of Holmes and Watson knocking on someone's door only for them to be out again and again? Masterpiece.

My Sherlock Holmes 'collection' on the Mega-CD is finally complete!

I agree with shadowman, i'd give it a good solid 7/10 and the game has some great ideas - it takes a bit too long to get into the meat of the game but the vertical cover sections are brilliant and the level designs on a whole are very good. One of the boss battles reminds me of r-type I won't tell you which but it's great.

You can pick up 3 FES & 4 for under a tenner each new nowadays. probably worth picking up. same goes for Digital Devil Saga & Lucifers Call. Loads of copies of them all over the internet
