OptOut | 8,889 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) After my previous sealed XBOX game thread went down so well I figured I'd turn it into an ongoing series! For those who missed that, let me catch you up here: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/7763-sealed-star-wars-game/ The premise of this thread is simple! What better way is there to honour the sacred and hallowed sealed game, than tearing the fucker a new one and busting it into your ECKSBOCKZ? The answer, of course, is that there is NO better way. We shall begin this thread with THQ and Eurocom's classic 2003 release, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy: I'll let you know if it sucks.

OptOut | 8,889 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 So far so good guys! I really like this game, definitely going for a 3D Zelda sort of feel. If you like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Wind Waker, then I definitely think this will be up your alley! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing new about it! opening very old games for clicks is a new hobby. the problem is the Youtuber buyers cant individually buy the overpriced games next logical would be a Groupon type business where crowdsourced users donate small amounts and if the price is met the game gets opened 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptOut | 8,889 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Okay, Sphinx is done! It's honestly a very nice little game, as I said earlier basically think of it like the early 3D Zeldas. If I were to criticize it, I would say it's a little short and light on different locations to explore, although everything that is here is very nicely designed and well done. I would also have preferred a wider variety of weapons and combat options, you basically just get a blow dart and a sword with like maybe two different attacks. But yeah overall solid I'd give it a recommend, and you can get it on Switch now so if you see it on sale maybe give it a go! Oh, and the first person who sends a hundred USD to my PayPal gets to pick the next game I PEEL! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptOut | 8,889 Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 The MASSACRE of cellophane continues, now peeling Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel! This one is looking a little faded, obviously been sitting around in a dusty ol' shop for a fair while before I rescued it! It's inside a dust sleeve, with a thin strip of cardboard taped to the bottom... Odd... Also, it's rattling. Let's PEEL this mofo and put it out of its misery! AHH, so satisfying, peeling that lil tearstrip! Ah HA! Here's the rattle culprit, one of the clasps that holds the case closed has snapped! Okay let's play some fuggin B-O-X bois! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like a 40 thousand dollar price difference alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptOut | 8,889 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Okay, Fallout Brotherhood is pretty cool so far! I'm SLAMMING Radscorpions and giant rats using a baseball bat with nails hammered through it... I'm definitely making the world a better place, lol! Actually, would I lose gamer points for admitting this is my first time playing a Fallout game??? Eh, probably not, I mean, it's not like I have that many gamer points to lose in the first place! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know whether to like or to dislike?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
