Speaking of which I'm kicking myself. Bought If my Heart had Wings from playasia and was looking forward to a lavish boxed copy. My order arrived without this game. I checked only to realise I got the digital version by mistake. Idiot. It cost 2 euro more for a boxed copy. Very tempted to order it again considering how hard it is to find these localised digital novels, just look at the price of Ever 17.

Is that similar to those metal gear solid graphic novel games on the psp.
Its more of a digital graphic novel than an actual game
Kind of except you get to make decisions at certain points during the story that effect how it plays out. It's more like 999 on the DS.
I kind of don't get the whole only buying from a certain region mentality some people have. If a game is avaialable I'll buy it in whatever region I can get it in unless it's something like PAL PS1 or N64 game where the PAL versions are vastly inferior to the NTSC ones. I'd stay well clear of them unless it was a PAL exclusive in english. Then again I buy my games to play, collection is secondary.

Sounds epic man !
I know there more common in the japanese region
Well Im a comic collector and I come from that mentality I want the cents sign not the p and I want the rarest variant I can afford.
I have nothing against anyone buying a more expensive or cheaper variation.Collecting the the rarest variation and getting it for a decent price is all apart of the fun of collecting/hunting for games.
Im a video game player first more than a collector too.But if I didn't have to urge to collect id just buy the cheaper digital version.Collecting is my hobby and collecting variations and first prints is fun for me to collect.
But everybody has their own way of collecting.0 -

The game is quite mental, a sequel of sorts to The Neverhood, which was a point and click adventure with the characteristic clay-mation graphics.
Skullmonkeys is batsh1t insane though, and the visuals and the music make up for a fairly ho-hum platformer underneath.
I have it on the PS and it is a pricey game to find now.
But that music, I have it on the PC somewhere and give it a blast now and again.
I don't feel too bad about that as I paid the musicians who made it for the double cd soundtrack and I never got it, nor did they reply to my emails so screw them!
But, just to give a sample of how insanely brilliant it is, here's the music and song from the Bonus Room.... enjoy.... (and listen all the way through!)

Im a big pc point and click adventure fan.
I love Grim Fandago and I want to pick up
the big box version but its expensive but
ill get a good deal on it some day.The lucasarts
classics edition will do for now.
I'm a big fan of the Neverhood aswell I had it as
a kid but I lost my copy over time,I would want
to get the physical release again someday but
the prices are crazy ! : )
Its the same with most older pc games
especially the big boxes.0 -

People that like Legend of Dragoon played it when they were too young to know any better and would swallow up and old crap that was a JRPG. This is a scientifically proven fact based on a paper in Nature and the fact that I was once one of those people. It was a game so bad it quite literally almost put me off videogames.

Was there not parts of it that made you cringe at least. How bland the battle system was with only attack, item and defend and dragoon transformations that added nothing to it. The addition system slowing the game down to a crawl and killing the pace, they stole that from Mario RPG but extended it out so battles took way to long. The PAL version was even worse in this regard. It made the game a real slog with battles that out stayed their welcome. The story that was such a cynical cash in on FFVII right down to chasing a silver haired bad guy across the world and the laughably bad death scene at the mid way mark. Then there was the power rangers colour coding of the good guys and Roses lame reveal. It looked awful as well for a game from 2000.
Then there was the outrageously bad translation although it was so bad it almost became good. The one exception was how the main character treated Sharla which was pretty disgusting, extraordinarily sexist.
That game has so many problems but I think the worst is how cynical a cash in it is. Sony said they wanted a piece of FF and made a game that is totally designed by committee. It just felt so soulless to me. It got pasted in reviews at the time and rightfully so, GIA's review sums it up the best for me: http://thegia.psy-q.ch/sites/www.thegia.com/psx/lod/lod.html
Would like to hear what you thought about it. I'll try and hold back :P It amazes me people are willing to pay so much for it considering it's far from rare, awful and the amount of quality RPGs on the system more deserving of anyone's time.
