Xbox boss Phil Spencer explains that the new ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X is Microsoft's best collaboration between gaming and Windows teams.
Next Level Racing just revealed an officially licensed flight simulation cockpit for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020.
Unlike a lot of other expensive games for different consoles, nearly every game on that list is actually good. The only one I own on that list is The Misadventures of Tron Bonne.
If you like platformers but never played Klonoa, make it a priority, it's really good. And so is the sequel, as well as the GBA spin-off games.
I own all the Suikodens including 2 and I have 2 copies of Valkyrie Profile. It’s crazy what some of these are worth now and there’s a bunch of other games that aren’t listed in the same range.
Lunar 2, Suikoden II, Persona 2, Valkyrie Profile and Parasite Eve 2 (unopened) are among some of my most prized possessions. Getting tougher to be a collector as the years are unkind to game preservation.
I'm not even checking this list out. I had most really rare ps1 and ps2 games and had to sell. I'm still fking torn about it it makes me wanna cry, kuon being one of the rarest of mine. Crazy thing I I got it at gamestop when they were clearing out ps2 games.
Haunting ground
