Weekly pick-ups: Week 132!

The wait is over: Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally here! I also picked up a classic collection for the PS3 and an awesome collectors box for a zombie game.

State of Decay 2 Collectors Edition (Xbox One)

Found this on sale for €50 instead of €100; a pretty good deal. It comes with the Ultimate Edition of the game and a bunch of extra’s (picture at the bottom of this post will display it all).

The Orange Box (PS3)

Half-Life 2 is one of my favorite games of all time and I complete it at least once every year on PC. But I wanted the Orange Box for the PS3 so I got an used copy for €15. It’s in pretty rough shape but the disc is in perfect condition!

Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4)

The long awaited sequel to Red Dead Redemption is finally here! Played it a bit and so far I like it!

Weekly pick-ups: Week 128!

A lot of the big releases are lurking around the corner : Forza Horizon 4 is next week and then the train just doesn’t stop: Soul Calibur VI, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hitman 2 , …: my wallet is going to have a hard time. So I didn’t got anything too crazy this week: just a couple of games for the PS3 and PS2.

Wolfenstein (PS3)

I’ve played this before on the Xbox 360 and I remembered it being a bit ‘meh’ but I wanted to give it another go and well it’s nothing special.

Castlevania and Alone in the Dark: New Nightmare (PS2)

I had the urge to play a Castlevania game when I heard the news of the remasters of SOTN and Rondo of Blood so I went online and got this. Played it a bit and so far I enjoy it. It’s totally different from the Castlevania games that I love but still enjoyable. I got Alone in the Dark because it was cheap and because I like horror movies/games.

Weekly pick-ups: Week 118!

Last week I showed you how I got 5 used games for €15; a pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Well this week I went back for 5 other games!

Medal of Honor Airborne, Max Payne 3, Never Dead, Splinter Cell HD Trilogy and X-Men Destiny (PS3)

I really wanted Medal of Honor Airborne and the Splinter Cell HD Trilogy and the other games I just picked in the store. I’ve played a bit of Max Payne 3 in the past but I don’t remember much of it. X-Men Destiny is a game that got pretty mediocre reviews but I’ll give any X-Men game a go and I don’t know anything about Never Dead but it just looked cool!

Weekly pick-ups: Week 117!

The World Cup is nearing its conclusion and Belgium is still in it! I got the luck of the Belgian national team with a ‘5 games for €15’ deal and I added some games to my ever growing Xbox One collection!

Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare, Injustice Gods Among Us, The Adventures of TinTin; The secrets of the Unicorn and X-Men Origins Wolverine (PS3)

The games normally were around €14.98 each so getting them all for €15 is a pretty sweet deal. Both Red Dead Redemption games were missing in my collection and I want to finish them both before the second one hits the shelves. I already own Injustice digitally on the PS4 but I really wanted a physical copy of the game and a PS3 version will do. The TinTin game is a bit of nostalgia for me because I’ve been a TinTin fan since I was a little kid and lastly the X-Men game looks to be a fun action game.

Heihachi Tekken 7 Totaku figurine

I already got two figures of this collection (both from God Of War) and when I saw this Heihachi figurine I just had to have it. Fits in nicely with my next purchase.

The Crew 2 Deluxe Edition and Tekken 7 (Xbox One)

I liked The Crew; it wasn’t anything special but it was an enjoyable racing game. They added a bunch of stuff (mostly boats and planes) to the sequel so I’m curious to see how that pans out. Tekken 7 was on sale for €25 and my dad had a coupon for €5 so I got it for €20 which is a good deal.

Weekly pick-ups: Week 116!

What a week! Belgium won their first WC game and I finally found a collectors edition that I wanted for a very long time!

Recore (Xbox One)

I want all the Xbox One console exclusives so I had to have this one, especially for the low price of just €10. I’ve read some things online about it and it seems like something I would enjoy!

Burnout Paradise Remastered (PS4)

Remasters are so hot in 2018; it feels like there’s a new one announced every 5 seconds. Some of them are great but some of them are definitely just cash grabs that don’t deserve your attention. Burnout Paradise falls in the first category for me. It comes bundled with all the DLC and it runs great on the PS4. Now they just need to remaster the first Burnout games (especially Revenge) and then I’m a happy camper!

Hitman Absolution Collectors Edition (PS3)

The search is over! This Collectors Edition was on my ‘want’ list for so long but I never found one in decent condition for a fair price until I found this one (sealed!) on eBay! The game and box are in French but that’s not a big deal for me because I really wanted to Agent 47 figurine! It just looks so cool.

Maximo Action Figure

Last week I declared my love for the Maximo franchise and that love has only gotten stronger. A few days ago I was browsing eBay and I found that Maximo had some action figures (officially licensed by Capcom) and I just have to have one. I went with Maximo for obvious reasons but I might go back and buy the rest to.

Weekly pick-ups: Week 102!

Another week, another huge haul of games!

Fable Anniversary, Fable II and Borderlands Triple Pack (Xbox 360)

I really wanted to play the Fable games again and the good thing about the Fable games is that they are backwards compatible with the Xbox One. Fable Anniversary was pretty expensive but I didn’t really mind. Borderlands Triple Pack is a weird one for me; I never really enjoyed a Borderlands game but for the low price of €8 I was willing to give them another go.

Deux EX Mankind Divided, Assassins Creed Unity, Evil Within 2 (PS4)

Yes, I know that you can currently get Deux EX for free with Playstation Plus; I completely forgot about it. Unity completes my Assassins Creed collection (well, I still need the chronicles collection but I’ll find those eventually) and Evil Within 2 was just really cheap so why not? I’m a big horror movie/game guy so this game must be right up my alley.

The Elders Scrolls Online (Xbox One)

The game was really cheap and that’s the only reason that I got it. I’ll definitely play it but I doubt that I’ll actually enjoy it. I’m just not a big fan of the newer Elder Scrolls games (I loved Morrowind but after that I just couldn’t get into Elder Scrolls games).

Enslaved and Little Big Planet (PS3)

Two games to add to the PS3 collection; Enslaved looked cool and interesting and Little Big Planet is a must have for any Playstation owner.

Weekly pick-ups: Week 101!

What a crazy week! I got some more PS3 games and I added an absolute gem to my PS2 collection!

Crysis 2, Crysis 3, Aliens vs Predator, ModNation Racers, Sacred 3 first edition, Dragon Age 1 and Dragon Age 2 (PS3)

The ‘get 3, pay 2’ deal was still going strong so I decided to add some more games to my PS3 collection. I mostly got games that looked interesting. I played Modnation Racers for a bit and that’s really fun. And today I’m going to see how Crysis 2 runs on a PS3.

Assassins Creed Ezio Collection (Xbox One)

My colleague is a big Assassins Creed fan and he’s the reason that I wanted to revisit the series. The Ezio collection is perfect for that because it has 3 games!

Assassins Creed (Xbox 360)

The only Assassins Creed game that I ever completed. I got it just to complete my collection but because it is backwards compatible with the Xbox One, I can still pop it in and play it sometime.

Assassins Creed Syndicate, Sniper Elite 4 and Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY (PS4)

I bought Sniper Elite 4 in an impuls but it was really entertaining. The story is a bit short but it’s a very enjoyable game. The other two games fit in nicely with the rest of my purchases (completing the series of both Assassins Creed and Dragon Age).

Metal Slug Anthology (PS2)

I’m a HUGE Metal Slug fan and this Anthology gives me a ton of Metal Slug for a very low price.

Incredible Hulk Q-Fig

The Q-Fig series is a bit like funko POP’s but better (at least for me) because the overal finish and look is just nicer (once again, just my opinion). My brother got this for me and it looks great!
