Everyone knows the recession is biting the majority of everyone’s genitalia in regards to finances but for those who want some great movies, some of the latest video games and Blu Ray releases, there is a new site out there!

Unboxed Stock is a new website which has a library of unboxed video games, DVDs and Blu Ray Discs available at cheap prices. I’ve just used the site to order a couple of games and they arrived very fast! The guys who own the site also do car boot’s occassionly on weekends.

The payment procedure is very safe utlilising PayPal as well as Google Checkout. The games available are all PAL designated. The DVD region is 2 and the Blu Ray region is Region B but this can vary between various releases.

LittleBigPlanet for under £20 on Amazon!

LittleBigPlanet is one of the best games I have played all year and it’s lived up to my expectations! If you have a PLAYSTATION3 and still haven’t picked this up yet, I ask

“What the hell are you waiting for!?”

For under £20!? BUY IT! :)

Anyway, it has come to my attention that Amazon are selling the game for £19.70 [at time of posting news] so if you want a triple A title for the price of a Platinum game with a lot of replay value, look no further and purchase LittleBigPlanet!

You can buy it from here!

Boxing Tonight

The Game Boy was one of my first gaming devices I personally owned and I got it for my 8th Birthday I think. Anyway, this music video brings back the memories of the tunes the Game Boy pumped out of its speakers. Enjoy!

Check the High Quality Version on the link below from the creator’s website, it has the blocky pixel effect in high quality.

Who wants a Resistance 2 beta code?

I preordered my Collector’s Edition from Gamestop so I got my beta entry already but I am also signed up to the PlayStation Underground.

If you can provide me a valid reason why I should give you the beta code, it’s all yours! Leave your email address in the comments section below!

Its Mahvel Baybee…..on PS3 and Xbox 360!

As I am doing my usual browsing of the gaming websites, I found out according to the ESRB that Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is coming to the PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360! My reaction, I am shocked as I am so happy! This is one of my favorite fighting games and as I just fitted Sanwa buttons into my HRAP3, I am more excited to play this game now!

OH YEAH!!!!

OH YEAH!!!!

Since finding this out, the ESRB removed the listing and I hope to god this game comes out for the next generation consoles and comes with online. This game will sell loads as this game costs lots of money on eBay right now for Xbox and PS2.

MAG-FUCKING-NETO!

MAG-FUCKING-NETO!

This is easily one of Capcom’s most popular games in the arcades and the reason for the price increase on eBay is because Capcom lost the Marvel License when distributing the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions which is a bummer because this game is excellent. Even on Gamespot where there is a poll, this game with Power Stone 2 is the game on most demand to get a re-release on PLAYSTATION Network and Xbox Live Arcade! I hope this is true and Capcom answer our prayers!

For this occassion, I’d like to show a very funny trashtalk video of Marvel Vs Capcom 2! ITS MAHVEL BAYBEE!

FUCK THE KNICKS!!

GGPO and 2DF Freeplay

I may recall me writing an article about GGPO. Well I have used it and it is very good but it requires specific romsets in order to play online. Here is the list in order to play online!

  • Dungeons and Dragons Shadow Over Mystara (Euro 960619)
  • Garou: Mark of the Wolves
  • Marvel Vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes (Euro 980112)
  • Samurai showdown 2
  • Street Fighter Alpha 2 (USA 960306)
  • Street Fighter Alpha 3 (USA 980904)
  • Street Fighter III 3rd Strike – Fight for the Future
  • Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (World 940223)
  • Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers (World 930911)
  • The King of Fighters ‘98 – The Slugfest
  • Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire (Euro 970519)
  • X-Men vs. Street Fighter (Euro 961004)

You can find me online occassionly as rockmanjoey playing Street Fighter III & Hyper Street Fighter II. GGPO is a good application but I discovered something even better called 2DF Freeplay.

2DF Freeplay is pretty much like GGPO only its far superior. It supports most roms which MAME, Final Burn Alpha and Kawaks support. So if you want to play Metal Slug 4, Kings of Fighters 2003, Final Fight and more online, it is now possible! It also supports replays for most games and rankings for several games which can be run on 2DF Freeplay.

2DF Freeplay is very simple to use! You just register and once that is done, you simply click on Play and it will open the application, simply set the directories for your roms and your good to go!

You have a friends list too which is a bonus if you wish to take revenge on those who have beaten you or play the same players again another time!

It’s a great application and you can use 2DF Freeplay at http://2dfighter.com/

Nintendo DSi to be region locked!

One of the magical things about Nintendo’s handhelds is that they have always been region free until now. The latest Nintendo DS revision called DSi has been confirmed to be region locked by Nintendo who spoke to Future Publishing. The DSi will be region locked on specific DSi Software which includes download games and Cartridge Based DSi games.

To me, the DSi doesn’t sound that much of a decent upgrade but more towards alienating to the other DS revisions which isn’t good. The removal of the Game Boy Advance slot is the biggest negative for me because it isn’t just removing itself with the Game Boy Series which is a great legacy of handheld gaming but games like Guitar Hero: On Tour and some of the peripherals for the DS lite and original won’t be compatible. Nintendo announced that you can download software to the DSi which again sounds good but only DSi owners can experience it which is a terrible move as it completely seperates it from the compatibility of the DS lite which won’t be able to experience this whatsoever.

The Nintendo DS lite was the perfect revision that the Nintendo DS needed in the first place. The original looked very ugly and was awkard to use. It was a bit big and the buttons were very crappy but the DS Lite gave it the competitive appearance and revisions needed provided with the excellent games to compete against the PSP. The DSi hasn’t got me interested whatsoever unless it was region free.

The one trait of the PS3 despite it losing PS2 compatibility is that you can play software from any region despite if it’s a download game or Blu Ray! It has seriously put me off the DSi as I love playing imported games as it is a good way to experience games which will likely not come out outside Japan.

The SD card slot which it supports won’t allow you to play MP3s which is also another negative. Fair enough it’s storage is cheap but I just don’t like the direction Nintendo is heading with the new DS. It’s a kick in the nuts for DS Lite owners but not so much for those who have a Nintendo DS or are about to purchase one.

However, it does have a better camera than a certain device called the iPhone. Overall, I find this revision of the DS to be mediocre. The exclusive features are game related and it is the main blow for me. With the PSP, at least most of it’s exclusive new revisions were to do with features outside gaming unlike the DSi. Sorry Nintendo, I am not going to invest in this handheld

The Best Pause Sound Ever!

There have been many sound effects or quotes that have made video games memorable like Sega Rally’s “Game Over Yeah!” and “Toasty” from Mortal Kombat.

However, the Home Versions of Street Fighter II maybe inferior to their original arcade counterparts but they have one thing which is better than the Arcade Version….a kick ass Pause Sound which has mixes of grunts from the Street Fighter’s themselves.

I found the sound fascinating and it’s one of the hundreds of reasons why Capcom kicks so much ass in the video game market!

Enjoy the video!

Who has a LittleBigPlanet beta key? I do!! =D

LittleBigPlanet, the one game on PS3 that has had me hyped for it’s release so when I got word that Eurogamer were giving away beta keys, I couldn’t take any chances and went for it….the result…..well look below for yourselves!

That's right, downloading to MY PS3!

After a painstaking hour registering on Eurogamer and flooding new tabs in Firefox in pursuit of this opportunity to get into the beta, I managed to get a key and my hard work paid off! I am finally going to try out LittleBigPlanet before the game is released!

This is how it’s looks on the XMB! Now to play!!

I’ll give more details on the beta tomorrow when I shall give it a try! The good thing is despite Eurogamer getting so much traffic, I managed to register and get the beta key all within one hour thanks to opening so many tabs in Firefox! One valid reason why Firefox is superior to Internet Explorer!

STAY TUNED!!!!!

Facebook

So Facebook has a new look? I think its okay and whatever people think of it, it’s going to stay so I say tough shit to the rest of you! It is staying there so stop being an ass, quit the moaning and don’t join a group in protest. Thats my problem with Facebook, people spend too much time on it and it doesn’t get you anywhere whatsoever. The platoon of friends on my Facebook account who have joined groups demostrating their hate for the new Facebook is horrific!

Lovely look, wish I bought a Mac *sad face*

Lovely look, wish I bought a Mac *sad face*

Everything was completely okay with Facebook until they gave the green light for applications. There was a point in time where I got bombarded with requests to become a vampire, slayer, zombie, wolf, jackass, etc.Seriously if I want my online gaming fix, I have a PC and PS3 which have excellent games so I don’t some sad ass crap fest which has no creativity whatsoever consuming my time. Seriously! DO YOU LIKE HAVING CRAP ALL OVER YOUR PAGE? BEING COVERED WITH SHITTY APPLICATIONS?! REALLY, THEN FUCK OFF TO MYSPACE OR HI5! I am here to keep in contact with friends, that is all!

The worst bit is, Facebook don’t check the developer’s source code! You ask why that’s bad? I’ll tell you because most dumb asses won’t be aware that sneaky shits will steal all your details including all of your friends details too. If your the definitive wally who’s literally put every single detail on their profile, wave goodbye your identity because fraudsters love idiots like you! The clever people at MySpace thankfully check the developer code manually so people can’t steal your information!

There is something I will give Facebook though and that is I only get Friend Requests from people who I’ve met or know unlike MySpace. Now I ain’t hating Facebook as I use it often for its sole main purpose and that is to keep in contact with old and new friends I’ve known all my life, it does the job so that makes me happy!

This was a random rant…..
