It has been a while hasn't it? To kick back off the posting I have gathered together all my recent pick ups which are basically going back to the beginning of the year. I have tried not buying too much however, we did attend Leeds gaming market where a fair few purchase were made and then I have been to a few car boot sales for a change and I fear that even more car boots could be on the cards going forward. With the games I have been buying there is a bit of a theme of nostalgia and for good reason. So here is what I have picked up since the start of the year...
I will be honest and come out and say this game isn't for me. Recently my nephew started playing Worms on the PC with Liam when he comes to visit us so when I saw this for 50p at the local car boot I thought I would pick it up for them to play when we get the Wii set back up.
This was another 50p pick up for my nephew. He has loved Alvin and the Chipmunks for ages so when I saw this I thought it would be good for him to play on the DS we recently found. I think he will enjoy playing this one and who knows I may have a go after.
We recently found the PSP and whilst at the gaming market I was on the hunt for some of my favourite games and let's just say the FIFA Street games were at the top of the list to buy so there was no way I was leaving this behind. I can't wait to play through this and relive my childhood.
I have never played Daxter however, I had found myself looking at it before we found the PSP so once it was found this game got moved near the top of my to buy list. I am looking forward to making my way through this game soon as I feel it is something I am going to enjoy.
Now here is where the nostalgia begins... I wasn't leaving this behind at the car boot for 50p as I grew up absolutely loving Phineas & Ferb. I am determined to get my PS3 set back up very soon so that I can get playing through this and I have a feeling it could be the start of playing on the PS3 so much more as there were some great games on this.
This is another 50p purchase that I was on the fence about however, I think this is going to be great to play towards Christmas. I am imagining it already... nice and cosy in the games room with a hot chocolate just making my way through it.
I grew up absolutely loving Casper and I have never played this game so I thought why not reminisce on my childhood weekends of watching the cartoon and give the game a try. At £3 I don't mind paying that much even it if isn't as good as I hope it will be. It is certainly one for the collection though.
I vaguely remember playing this one as a kid and honestly I really can't wait to get playing it properly as I remember enjoying what I did play. Donald Duck is by far one of my favourite Disney characters so this was always going to be another pick up with my PS2 set up again.
Oh look another Donald Duck game, he really is a firm favorite so again I wasn't going to leave this behind. This is another game I will certainly be playing in the next few months or so and then this one is definitely staying as part of the collection.
I feel like it was a right of passage to love the Rugrats whilst growing up. As soon as I saw this game I knew I wasn't leaving without it as I loved the Rugrats games growing up so this is certainly going to bring back the memories of my childhood. I can't wait to sit and play this and hopefully I can play this with the nephew at some point too.
Another Disney game I had to pick up was Monsters Inc as I don't remember ever playing this one and as a big Monsters Inc fan I feel like I do need to play this. I think the plan with the PS2 game is going to be to collect a bit of a Disney collection so for the price this is the perfect addition.
Finally for the PS2 I picked up Harry Potter & the prisoner of Azkaban. I loved playing the Harry Potter games growing up so I plan to go through and play those again whilst also completing the Harry Potter game collection. I need to get cracking on with buying these so that I can play through them in order.
Oh look the final one is an up to date one. I picked up Double Exposure so that I can get caught up on the series before I pick up reunion. Thanks to a lack of gaming time I haven't started this just yet however, it is going to be next in line once I have finished coffee talk 2.
Those are the games I have picked up since the start of the year and to be honest I feel like I have done quite well with not buying for the sake of it however, I feel like the remainder of the 2026 is about to get expensive as I hunt down more games from my childhood, continue collecting Pokemon games and pick up the new releases I can't wait for. It really is time to get back to playing games and learning to switch off as it really does me the world of good.
I wonder what the next purchase is going to be...
See you soon
TNG Games.
