overheat-europe's eBay Shop - Video Game Goodness :D

hey all - just quit my graphic design job to try and go full time on ebay selling, yep you guessed it, video games

so my shop is located here: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/overheat-europe

and my games are sorted by both format and condition. I'm grading everything I'm selling to make it easier for collector's to find what they want.

My initial stock isn't great, but I have more on the way, only opened this thing a couple days ago and hoping to add more and more as the days go by.

I'll update this thread with info of new additions to my store, and as a special incentive for all Gamespot forum members, I'll let you in on a little secret: You can get any of the games in my store for 99p below the listed price using the "Best Offer" tool, which is set up to automatically accept offers that are 99p below. Also, if you buy many items at once, then the postage is only 99p for each additional item - so you can really start to rack up the savings!!!

Please feel free to let me know which items you feel are good offers, or are stupidly overpriced - whatever you want. I'd just really appreciate the feedback

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night playthrough series

Okay so my current playthrough series with Final Fantasy VI isn't attracting much attention. That's not to say I won't continue with it, just means I'm gonna start another one soon that hopefully will get a bit more comments. This will be Castlevania Symphony of the Night on the Playstation. Hopefully this will get you talking and is a great game to watch

If this sounds like a good idea, then let me know

Final Fantasy VI Playthrough Series

Hello all - it's been a long while since my last blog post and I've now moved jobs (again) - and I'm working in CeX in Wakefield, selling video games for a living - woo! It's heaven

Anyway, I'm really back into gaming in a big way now and have started compiling various videos to share with the interworld - this being the first for you guys - my Final Fantasy VI Playthrough collection. We're still playing through as we're uploading so I'm not sure how many sections this will have. It will probably take about 60 hours to complete fully including numerous side quests, so I'd guess at about 100 sections to this series.

So, for those, like me, who enjoy watching games being played, may I present to you all my Final Fantasy III (oops, I mean VI) playthrough video. Please feel free to leave comments

Communal 360 Elite

My news updates - firstly, no longer working at PC World, because they're gits. Secondly, no longer living in Batley, because I've moved house (duh!), and thirdly and most excitingly - the landlord of my new house (shared) has just bought us all a nice Xbox 360 Elite. Man, I love this place!

And that's my news. I'm also happy to report that the guy has damn good taste too as he also got Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect - so I guess my gamertag is gonna see some action again! yay!

Just got PGR4

A quick blog to say that we got PGR4 in at work yesterday, which made me rather excited and irritated. Excited that another great chapter in this series is out and irritated that we've got it a week early and all I can do with it is look at the box. I might be tempted to have a sneaky play on it though, perhaps even put it on demo on the 360 in the store if I'm allowed to.

I am wondering why we can't sell it though, I mean the game is clearly ready, so it's just going to sit in our warehouse for a whole week until it's official release date. Perhaps they do it just to annoy us?

Re: the PGR series, I enjoy it somewhat, but I have to say it's not a patch on the Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport series and I'm very much looking forward to the next GT game, will definately stick that on display when we get it. This week's games I'm demoing are:

PS3 1080p: FIFA 08 - I know it's not actually running in 1080p, but it's such an important game that I replaced our Ridge Racer 7 1080p demo with it - it's proving pretty popular so far and I'm happy to see England beating Germany on many occasions on the spectator demos

PS3 720p: Motorstorm - Had this running for many months and it's still as popular as ever with the punters - don't make any wonder either - great game!

360: Sega Rally - Stuck this on demo last week in place of Forza 2 and it's been very popular so far - when I first got it going I was not overly impressed with the graphics, I thought the colours were too vivid and edges were a bit jaggy, but it's started to grow on me as it's a good fun arcade racer, even if the mud effects are still a bit hit and miss.

PC 8800GTS: Colin McRae DiRT - Runs pretty smooth on one of our most powerful PCs at full graphical settings on a 1440x900 resolution iirc. Unfortunately seems to be a bit picky about control pads, so it's just been arrow keys so far - does look amazing though, so shows off the PC pretty well nonetheless.

PC 8600GTS: Sega Rally Revo - Couldn't manage full graphics, but not a bad game to demo.

PC 8500: Pro Evo 2008 - Doesn't require too many specs, so works quite well on this machine - not proved too popular though.

Anyway, that's about it - guess it didn't turn out to be such a short blog after all - ah well...

About Me

Been into gaming ever since I first got my hands on a Spectrum ZX when I was a youngster. Next came my Amiga of which I had varieties 1500, 600 and 500 - I loved these, but in between my Sega Mega Drive, and Mega CD, what I really longed for was a PC. And on the Christmas of 98 my wish was granted. I don't come from a rich family but I still feel I have lived some sort of gaming dream so far in my life. Since the early days, it has come to the times where I had to buy my own consoles. These have been PlayStation and a PS2 that I imported from Japan. I'm pretty mad on the Gran Turismo series for these. I also decided that I wanted to get into PC gaming and upgraded my rig until I could play Half Life 2 in great detail - easily the best game I have ever played (I think). Finally, I gave in and bought an Xbox too, solely for Forza Motorsport - and what a game it is! :) Most recently I have set up my own little gaming business in buying and selling computer games. This has really opened my eyes further to the vast array of games out there - I'm loving it. Currently I believe the Dreamcast is the sexiest console ever. I'm studying Media Technology and Production at Bradford University at the moment, I'm gonna be the next big thing ;)
