PREPAR3D. MS dropped support for FS since FSX and ever since Lockheed Martin bought the code and recently launched P3D 2.0. It's an optimised version of FSX. I've had FSX since 2006 so just took the plunge and bought the academic license. I will download and install tomorrow but as a big flight simmer I can't wait to try it out.

Since I was away, a new store opened in Belfast which has a buy and sell section for games, including vintage games. Snagged these three ti keep me occupied for a while.

I remember Indiana Jones being pretty cool, though it might be kinda dated by now. Not sure.
Always loved Manhunt though. So twisted, but so unique.

I have never played any of them. But I remember Indiana Jones getting almost perfect scores when I bought OXM around the time Shenmue IIx was coming out. Also I heard Manhunt was good so I took the opportunity to buy it. Been playing the old Xbox since I got back and I still think the games hold up well. I think I will enjoy them :D

^ I might should look into that, I believe that Bravely Default has the same artist, and I think developed by the same team. I have the Bravely Default LE pre-ordered, perhaps I may enjoy ff3 as well.

I was always kind of curious about the Da Vinci code. I'd definitely check it out if I saw it for the right price(like the one you got it for).

Indiana Jones. Brings back memories. God, we need another Indy game. Too bad LucasArts is gone.

Not the best place to ask, I know, but bear with me.
I'm wondering if there are valid resons why I should get the first Otogi and not/over the second?
Can only go for one of them, cash is an issue, sadly.

I would say get the first now and the second later. First has a single protagonist where the second has multiple, but both are worth playing. I replay the first one all the time. Its really fun, and you would enjoy the the way second ones game play progressed better having played the first. First one is a bit longer, has something like 30 levels if I remember correctly.

Nice, just remember P2 is a two part game. You'll need to get Batsu / Eternal Punishment off of the PSN if you want it in English.

Both are fantastic, honestly. Otogi 2 has more variety thanks to having more playable characters (and I probably prefer it overall), but the first game features a stronger version of Raikoh (the original main character) and, if I remember correctly, more in the way of epic boss battles.
Since both are excellent, I'd agree with Raithos and say just start at the start for now, and get the second later. They've both been pretty cheap for a while now, so Otogi 2 shouldn't jump in price or anything. No worries there.

EDIT: Saw this for less than ten bucks, and figured since I'm in kind of a first-person "thang" lately, I may as well try it. I remember hearing it's just good dumb fun. Sounds doable to me.
