Ah, the wishy-washy world of rare game collecting. It’s a real bitch these days. Here latetly, it seems that my collection of rare PS2 games are all going the way of the dodo. Let’s not even talk aboutREZ.
Some of my most prized games are from theFatal Framea-camera-is-your-only-weapon survival horror series. These titles, all PS2 games, range in availability. But good, clean copies usually fetch a decent price, and mint copies go for even more. I have always displayed my perfectly mint, semi-rare copies of these games with gamer pride. And that’s why I tried my best to ignorebuzzings of a reprintofFatal Frame IIandIII.
Siliconerahad to go and rub it in my face, and the good deal that Cheap Ass Gamer presents us hurts the collector in me even more. That’s right:Fatal Frame II: Crimson ButterflyandFatal Frame III: The Tormentedare now available thanks to a reprint, and CAG has a coupon code that lets you nabIIfor only $29.99. That deal ends today, so you had betterget a move on.
In the end, I think this is a good thing. Both of theseFatal Framegames are incredible titles, totally deserving of their sought-after status. If a reprint means that more gamers the the privelage of playing these great (and freaky) titles, then I’m all for it.
