Maniac Shreds a PSN Card June 2, 2012

After shooting the Final Fantasy Deals video I received a lot of comments from people online that if I wanted a copy of Final Fantasy VII, the best option for me monetarily would be to buy it off the Playstation Network and download it to my Playstation 3 or Playstation Portable.  After what happened with the PSN a few months ago I have not been able to trust the network with my credit card since, so I decided instead to buy a prepaid Playstation Network card from my local vendor.

Well, the card was redeemed, it worked.  Final Fantasy VII was downloading.  Not much to do with the card after that.  Lets destroy it!

Final Fantasy Deals May 31, 2012

Inspired by the reviews of The Spoony One and after years of hearing praise for them by his peers,  Maniac just bought a shipment of brand new older games from a very famous (and infamous) game series, Final Fantasy.

He had been meaning to get the games for quite a long time and couldn’t pass them up at their current prices.  The problem was that while he got a great deal on the games he purchased, he couldn’t explain why there were other games in the series (which had been re-released just as many times as the other games) which had prices through the roof.

What did he pick up?  How much did they cost?  What is he looking for?  Check out the video and find out.

Square.  Take a look at the popularity of your back catalog.  Reprint them.

Sorcery Unboxing May 26, 2012

Maniac decided to treat himself to the Playstation Move exclusive game Sorcery, which, even though has been recently released has been very difficult to find people selling it.  The game really wowed him when it was first shown off at the Sony E3 2009 Press Conference and he had been waiting anxiously, Playstation Move in hand, for the day to come when the game would be released.

Bit of a note on this video.  When Maniac picked it up at Best Buy earlier today he noticed the disc sounded loose in the case and this video was recorded to see if the game needed to be returned.

Starfox 64 3D Dog Tags Unboxing May 20, 2012

Well, GameStop is offering special Star Fox Dog Tags as a promotional item for Star Fox 64 3D for the 3DS through the Power-Up Rewards program.

As I’m sure you know from some of my previous videos about the Nintendo 64, I’m a huge fan of Star Fox, and for the past twelve years I’ve also had an interest in collecting Dog Tags.  Talk about a two fold win for me!  Are they worth the 9,750 points?  Take a look for yourselves!

Max Payne 3 Collector’s Edition Unboxing May 15, 2012

Maniac unboxes the Xbox 360 version of the Max Payne 3 Collector’s Edition.  This was never intended to be found on store shelves, Rockstar intended only for gamers who preordered the game a month in advance to buy these.  Originally they were only taking preorders up to Mid-January, but after the game was delayed from March, they ended up taking preorders for this until April.

Is it worth the $100?  Find out what’s inside.

Max Payne 3 is out now for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

My Date With the Calendar Man – Day 8: Mother’s Day May 13, 2012

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!  It’s a holiday and because of that it’s time to pay a montly visit to our friend Julian Day, the Calendar Man, at his cell in Arkham City under the Solomon Wayne Courthouse.  We’ve paid quite a lot of visits to him so far, and the empty spots on the calendar next to his cell are getting fewer and fewer!

I also talk a bit about the new Batman: Arkham City Game of The Year Edition which is coming at the end of May, as well as the release of the next Arkham City expansion, Harley Quinn’s Revenge, which is launching with the Game of the Year edition, but will also be made avalible to current game owners as downloadable content ($9.99US or 800 Microsoft Points).  Here’s the latest trailer!
