Finished Extermination on #PlayStation2. Boy, this game is rough! It has that early PS2 charm with bad voice acting/lip synch, janky animations but a really good atmosphere that reminds me of The Thing. And the gunplay is quite decent once you get used to it.

Picture of Extermination for the PlayStation 2, PAL ELSPA rated release. The cover is holo foiled something that can't be seen in the photo.

The artwork of Hokuto no Ken by Tetsuo Hara. Honestly I have no idea what this was used for but I've seen some posters with the logo on web so maybe promotional purposes. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

Having 130+ #PlayStation2 games it was about time to get another memory card since the previous four are packed to the brim. Yeah, I could go for a more modern and spacious solution but using old hardware has it's own charm.

Finished The Red Star on #PlayStation2. Holy hell this game is brutal! It's a nice mix of beat 'em up, run 'n gun, and bullet hell that can get really tough in some levels but overall it's quite nice to play. Having patience (and some luck) is the key to beat some levels.

I'll counter with some of the best we can get around here.😁

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, a Wii game that gets crapped on for being the inferior version but it's actually a very fun experience. It feels like a RE4 mod on the console since it uses the same engine but for me not having a time limit is a bliss!

Finished my annual run of Black on #PlayStation2. After 20 years, it's still a banger of a game and one of my favorite FPS on the system. The visuals, sound design, weapons, and destruction are just superb!

Scrolling through my old gaming pics and here's the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Limited Edition for the PlayStation 3 which I got aeons ago from Zavvi for half price (it was €90 at launch which is also insane for the content).
