What was old is now new again

I've always been drawn towards retro gaming a little more than most and after talking some with Steve Lin at AuroraFeint about his collection I decided it was time to begin to rebuild. That lot up there cost about $200 with the exception of the VCR and N64 stuff and it seems like a pretty good deal. There's a top loading NES that I've never heard of and about 6-7 games with a pair of controllers and a lightgun, An ugly USA SNES with a pair of controllers and Super Metroid, a Saturn, Dreamcast and a Sega Genesis with Sega CD and several games. With luck I hope that I'll be able to do a little something with all this and I'm thinking of doing a weekly video where I put in a new game I've purchased for a couple of dollars.

Back to the present day, I've been enjoying Fable III which I completed last night, it's not a 'bad' game per se, but I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't disappointed with some of the direction that the game took, it makes me wonder if Lionhead doesn't have the same control over their games and schedule as they once did. I've also been playing a little RockBand 3 which lives up to what I'd expect from a new RockBand game but the real game will begin when I get the Midi controller for my keyboard sometime next month. There's also still Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 that I haven't touched and Fallout: New Vegas and Dead Rising 2 that I've barely scratched the surface of. I'm very glad my job isn't as busy as it has been, with all of the things I'm trying to juggle at once I don't think I could fit much else in.

That's all for now, I need to get working on this Fable III review and start thinking how I can capture footage from these old systems, it should be fun!
