  A trip down memory lane

  As i was growing up, i was mostly a Sega guy. Played the Master System, the Mega Drive (Genesis for my American friends) and even the Game Gear. Also played the Saturn and the Dreamcast, but that was when everything started to go downhill for Sega. For me, Sega had its gold age when the Mega Drive / Genesis was out.

  I bought Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection the other day. Bought it because there isn't anything else coming out now that really interest me. I was a little afraid that i wouldn't enjoy this collection of classic games from Sega because i might have been spoiled by recent generations games. Boy, was i wrong... The minute i started playing games like Alex Kidd, Sonic, Streets of Rage, Altered Beast and many others, my mind was flooded with so many memories of the many afternoons and evenings i spent playing those games with my friends, especially with my cousin Roberto who was like a brother when we were growing up.

  I felt good inside when those memories started popping up. In these times where life seems so much hard and less happy, having those memories and feelings was really great. I never thought classic games would have this effect on me.

  Thank you Sega, for giving me the opportunity with this collection of games to remember some of the best childhood moments that i had.

  And so the drought begins

  At least for me it does.

  Until October, there's no must get game coming out. From that point on though, there's more games than i can handle. I hate this. I hate the fact that most high profile developers choose to release their games around the holiday season. I know it's the smartest thing to do since that's the time when people buy more games, but i think it would be good if they chose to release more games during summer time. It would be good for more dedicated gamers, that like to have great games throughout the whole year, and lets be honest, a great game sells any time of the year.

  Oh well. Guess it's time to finish some games and replay the ones i've been wanting to play again.

  So, how about you guys? Do you feel the same way or do you disagree with me and think this summer drought some gamers talk about is a myth?

  In other news, i got the Platinum Trophy for inFAMOUS. I'm not obsessed with trophies, but inFAMOUS was so damn good and fun to play that i decided i would go for it. I played the game twice, once as a good guy and once as a bad guy. Amazing game, the ending was really great. Bring on a sequel!

  InFamous owns me...

  

  Seriously, this game owns me right now. I can't freaking stop playing it!

  Someone help me, please!

  InFamous is one of those games that immerses you so deeply that when you're playing it, you don't notice time passing by and you're absolutely oblivious of what's happening around you.

  InFamous is one heck of a fun game to play. It has its technical issues, like the occasional pop-in, but in no way that ruins the experience. This is the most fun sandbox game i have played since GTA Vice City.

  9.5/10

  Go get it right now if you own a PS3 and like this type of game.
