24 | August | 2011 | "DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"

I just completed a replay of the PS2 port of the original Deus Ex in record time (well, for me), as my PS3 review copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution arrived today. Nice. I generally skim through most review guides, but the design plus some of the amusing writing in the guide (sample quote: “DE:HR is not an arcade shooter – there, I said it.”) kept me reading until the end. OK, enough yapping – off to install and play so I can get a review done. This is going to be supremely thrilling, that’s for sure. Oh, PC gfans – skip buying the game at GameStop if they try to sell you an open box without the OnLive code! You’re paying full price for it, so let GS know you should get EVERYTHING that’s supposed to come INSIDE the box.

While I sold off about 99% of my SNES games to get a PS3 and a bunch of other stuff a few years back, I’ve kept pretty much all of my Super Famicom games simply because there were too many that were never localized for a US release. Sorry for the lousy photo, but all 248 or so are up in a closet in the other room and I don’t have the time to go through them at this point and pick out favorites. This project however, IS on my to-do list once I clear out some space here at the home office and find the time to get the stash down to be photographed (and a few games re-played). I have many favorite games for the system but I absolutely HATE compiling “Top 10” lists, so you won’t get one from me. OK, I’m not that irascible, folks – I just need more time to re-discover some of these games when it’s not so incredibly busy here. It’s absolutely be a LOT more than ten, that’s for sure.
