[XBOX] Goldeneye Rouge Agent has Arrived!!

Hi gamers and collectors!

Welcome back to yet another addition to my XBOX collection, Goldeneye Rouge Agent. This was sent to me for free as compensation from an eBay seller who sent RPM Tuning, if you can recall me talking about how RPM arrived with a broken case, this was to say sorry. Also another replacement case is being sent as well. So thanks for that :).

As I though that I was so close to owing all 007 related games, I'm actually missing one more "007 Everything or Nothing". I did come close to owning Everything or Nothing but there was no manual - just my luck -_-. Another thing I just don't understand is why Goldeneye lacks the 007 title, I'm guessing because you're not playing as James Bond in this one...  I know weird approach, all do respect for this game I don't feel unstoppable unlike the other 007 titles out there, just because you're not referred to as Mr Bond.

Condition wise? I can't complain, the DVD had some trouble loading up the first time I loaded it... As crappy as the XBOX DVD Drives are, is likely my other drive is on it's way out also. (which reminds me to grab some optical pick-ups for the drives). Other than that, it's rather perfect ^_^.

More games to come, see you there! 

[XBOX] 007: From Russia With Love Arrived!!

Hi gamers and collectors!

Firstly this entry is going to be rather short, I'm quite tired this afternoon -_- zzzz
The last game from the large parcel on Friday, 007: From Russia With Love arrived! I'm very close to owning all 007 titles for the XBOX and I'm only missing one title ^^. I never knew about this game while the XBOX was on the market, and that's probably because it wasn't the best Bond game released for the system, which we'll get to later.

Condition, bet you knew this was coming! It's overall in fantastic shape for it's age and box type. Booklet and DVD also get the thumbs up.

So back to where I mentioned this wasn't the best Bond game for the system. Allow me to explain. A few problems I encountered, one of them was the Framerate (FPS) just from experience I think the game in some areas drop to a low 15fps, when there isn't much detail around it feels 25-30fps which is rather poor for the system at the time, sure it's one of best looking 007 titles. However most games on the XBOX ran at 45-60fps, it probably doesn't help the game is 3rd person either. Which brings us to it's next problem, the 3rd person change. All Bond games you would of played previously were all First-Person Shooters, why this was the only 3rd person Bond game is completely beyond me and I just can't calculate it.
Now don't get me wrong, with those problems aside it's rather entertaining, and Sean Connery is my second favourite 007. It does make use of Connery marketing by including his voice, which is a rather good touch to the story. Guess I can't complain as I picked this one up for $3.75 :P

[XBOX] 007: Nightfire Arrived!

Hi gamers and collectors!

Like I said previously the parcel was pretty big, and here's another game! As I'm very close to completely every owning 007 game for the XBOX Library I couldn't go without bidding on Nightfire. The same price as GunValkyrie $3.50 it was yet another great buy.

Condition, condition, condition... This game had the yellow sticker from hell, just like GunValkyrie but not to fear good old oil got that shit off safely. I always worry with stickers on the disc, as it can rip or damage the label of the DVD. As I mentioned before those stickers, when left on for many years they grapple onto the surface. No shit this stuff can give super glue a run for it's money. However, all round case, DVD and manual are in top shape ^^

Nightfire has very in depth gameplay and it's so detailed! You have lots of Bond's gadgets to use during your missions. You end up using the DB9 quite a bit. Since it's a EA produced game they borrowed the NFSHP2 engine for the driving missions, and it's for the better. Generally driving missions in FPS games are butt ugly, but Nightfire does it rather smoothly. Great choice of weapons, and gadgets and really keeps you entertained. 

Multiplayer is great as well, really reminds me of the days of Goldeneye on Nintendo 64 but nothing beats 007 on Nintendo 64.

While taking the images of the game, that woman's face scares the shit out of me. Just look at that stare.

lol.

More games to come. See you there!

Recent XBOX Arrivals

Hi gamers!

Two XBOX games finally arrived into my collection, Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball and 007 Agent Under Fire. I'm 3 games away from completing the Dead or Alive collection, it will be complete sometime soon as I've been bidding on quite a few for the past few weeks. I managed to get both of these games under $10, so my collection will surely grow with the amount of games I've been finding under $10.
I also bought a XBOX USB Cable which is basicly a USB 1.1 adapter so I can use a keyboard and a USB memory stick to save games onto or back up my saves. Don't worry there are more stuff coming in so stay tuned ^^
