VGA atm is a rip off to me. Appraising games is too new. You pretty much never can sell at the appraised quote you get.

Its bad enough with trading cards,coins and comics. Grading games atm is still kind of a joke.

Normally when you factor in all the costs by the time you go to sell you'd just be breaking even.

you should send it to VGA instead of all these bubble wrap. it would look clean as hell in a custom acrilyc box. ! no dust, no damage ever, plus it could be the masterpiece of your game room !

Wasn't even aware of the existence of a Limited Edition RE4 on PS2 until I found this one on eBay. It has the game, a making of DVD, a numbered laser cel of Ada Wong and a BradyGames Resident Evil Prologue booklet. It has a nice steelbox case as well. I was worried about picking it up because the seller had a feedback score of 1 but here it is and it is really nice.

They brought out 3 of them for me to choose from and they were all damaged. 2 of them had crushed corners and the other had a huge crease in it.

How much is the VGA process total? I've never priced it.

Oh I'm jealous, they have this exact set for the GameCube but unfortunately the prices are ridiculously high, even for beat up copies. I want one of those very badly! Hands down RE4 is the best Zombie game ever made, and there's not even technically zombies in it, lol. The atmosphere and pacing is some of the best I've ever seen, so much effort and dedication, rare for Capcom in recent times. I thought Dead Rising and Left for Dead were great, however now I view them as mediocre compared to this. The style is unlike any other Resident Evil game as well. I've played a couple of versions and the best is probably the Wii HD remake with the original GameCube release following behind. The newer consoles don't do the game justice with their controller schemes, and the PS2 environments are fuzzier in my opinion. I could talk about this game for hours, it's so damn interesting to play.

Resident Evil 5 was a step back in the wrong direction, hopefully Capcom learned from it and will strive to make 6 less overly-epic action packed. With 5 they took the horror out of Resident Evil! What the heck?! Frankly I was scared out of my mind in 4, they better bring that steady/realistic style back in 6, it really adds to the emotional intensity.

I don't think I did too bad for $25. I had owned and beaten it before on the PS2 a few years back with a regular copy and I enjoyed the game. I'm still a bigger fan of the first couple games on the PS1 and even have a special place in my heart for Code Veronica. 4 was a big change and I didn't take to it like the original games but I still love them all. I've never played RE5 and the comments I hear about it make me wonder if it is worth it for any other reason than to say I have and for storyline sake.

I forgot to mention I purchased and downloaded I Am Alive from XBL the other night and sampled it briefly last night. I like the way it looks so far.

The best to me is directors cut and 2. I own them all on PS1-PS3.

After part 3 every sequel went downhill IMO.

Finding a girl with the same interests is a very good thing.

The only problem I have with that is that my girlfriend has trouble playing games where you have to use two analog sticks. She can work anything from the N64/PSX gen and earlier, but it's almost painful watching her struggle with something all of us don't even think about doing: left stick goes up, right stick goes to the side. I don't know how to explain the concept of controlling both sticks at once without coming off rude or something. Like, she'll interpret it as me rubbing it in her face about how easily I can do it, but I always tell her that I make it look easy only because I've been doing it for almost twenty years. Telling her about how much I sucked when I first started doesn't help either. Basically, if you're a guy in my situation, you just need to have a lot of patience. Also, buying her a copy of the game helps tremendously. I bought her an N64 and seven games, and she'll practice everything until she's pro. But if she plays it in front of me beforehand, it lowers her self-esteem and all that. So it's all about patience, and letting her try things out for herself. That's really the only con about being with a girl who plays games but doesn't really know how to use the controller :/
