Thanks for always mentioning my blog post @zombiepie. I meant to comment on last weeks post but I didn't get around to it. So I'll just say what I should have said last week. Anyone who was apart of the GBCER should at least archive their videos youtube. You never know someone might be interested in your videos later on.

Plenty of good videos and art this week. I feel obligated to mention @ringedwithtile list of games from 1985. Because I think he does a better job of conveying why these games meant so much to him. Anyone who likes reading about older games should check it out.

Setting this in space is a pretty good way to get me interested in checking out the latest Call Of Duty. At this point CoD is a lot like Dynasty Warriors. Gameplay remains the same with a few changes per release.

Occasionally Gamefly has a come back for a 1$ deal and I end up renting a bunch of older games for one month. Along with renting a few games from Redbox too. The fact that I can't get access to a bigger library of games to rent means I don't rent as often anymore.

I picked it up for around 20$ when it was on sale on PSN The animated movie story mode is at least worth one watch. I didn't like M.O.M. mode but it might be up your alley if you like spending a lot of time leveling up a character by beating a bunch of fights. Overall if you like playing through all the characters in arcade mode like I do it is definitely worth it.

@darth_navster: The one thing you can count on is that just about every Metal Gear will show up eventually. I just didn't buy 2-3 till they released the special editions. Halo was always a franchise I rented since I've never been one to play multiplayer shooters online very often. It will eventually get represented but not till the very end of this retrospective.

I've had a PS4 since launch and I'm fine with it. Actually gives me a reason to trade in my old PS4 to get a newer one without the disc ejecting issue I constantly have to worry about. Without that issue I don't know if I would actually buy the NEO. It isn't like I'm going to get a 4k tv anytime soon. After all the upgrade isn't that big to make much of a difference other than some minor graphical improvements. Maybe a better framerate.

Getting old games to run can be tough especially if you still own the disk or apprently even if you own them on GoG. The first two adventure games you mention remind me that I don't know about very many adventure games. Not owning a PC till much later guaranteed me to miss out on a lot of them. Knowing how you fixed the Gabriel Knight audio issue would be good to know. Since I also own it on GoG but have never put any serious time into finishing it.

Demon Souls wins by default since it is the only one that really clicked for me. The setting and overall mood compelled me to see more. With Dark Souls being more of the same but not quite the same setting just didn't work for me. I think I've had a long enough break from this series that I'm up for another one.
