Released in 2002, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love was My Chemical Romance’s debut album. Tracks like "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" and "Headfirst for Halos" established the band's emotional intensity and raw energy. With mixed critical reviews, its passionate fanbase and unique sound quickly helped it gain cult status within the underground scene. At the time of release, it stood out in the growing emo and post-hardcore landscape alongside bands like The Used and Taking Back Sunday. The CD release, with its original artwork and rare bonus tracks, is sought after by fans and collectors, especially in WATA 9.8 A+ condition. Though it didn’t achieve mainstream success right away, I Brought You My Bullets was crucial in shaping the band’s trajectory and the emo genre’s rise in the 2000s.

IT’S NOT OVER YET! In 2004, Konami published Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, a collaboration with Silicon Knights. The first mainstream MGS remake, The Twin Snakes featured updated AI, re-recorded voice acting, and newly redone cinematics. This updated version was received well due to the beefed-up graphics and gameplay taken right out of Sons of Liberty and skilfully combined with the beloved original MGS story. Some embellishments saw detractors—such as cinematics switching to Kojima’s then-usual style of reliance on slo-mo—but fans enjoyed the update overall. Hugely notable about this remake was the return of the voice cast for new recordings, championed by the voice of Solid Snake himself, David Hayter. Not only is this copy signed by the legend, it’s also in a near-perfect 9.8 A+. Looking at this one, you can’t help but wonder…

Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield?

Bethesda Game Studios, the force behind Elder Scrolls IV: Skyrim and Fallout 4, brought its RPG wonders to bear with this science-fiction epic. With an incredible score and the vastness of space to explore, it’s a hat-tip to every gamer who’s ever looked up at the stars and thought, “What if?” Captured here in 9.8 A+ condition, Starfield has all the makings of a bonafide future classic.

With a waning player base that never really expanded beyond a core of fervent fans, Babylon’s Fall was perhaps always destined to go the way of its namesake—support and service for this game ended in February 2023. And what better game to encapsulate than a flash-in-the-pan fantasy adventure that’s no longer playable? This 9.8 A+ example can live on display without even the slightest touch of FOMO.

Back in 1995, Square developed and published Chrono Trigger for Super Nintendo. The RPG garnered positive reviews right off the bat and was hailed as one of the greatest video games of all time—certainly one of the most important releases on SNES up to that point. The classic game’s been remastered and re-released on other platforms through the years, but there’s something mighty special about the original, especially in 9.8 A++ condition.

What’s scarier than a survival horror game? A survival horror game in space. The original 2008 game received much praise, accumulated several awards, and saw two sequels, spin-off titles, and other media. This 2023 remake was the first release since 2013’s Dead Space 3. With fresh graphics and rebuilt systems, there are notable differences from the original—Isaac is no longer silent, there’s more gore, and there’s an improved zero gravity function. This 9.8 A++ example perfectly encapsulates this faithful and terrifying recreation.

The Resident Evil franchise kicked off in 1996, defining the survival horror genre and bringing zombies back to the maintstream. From video games to movies and comic books to audiobooks, it is the highest-grossing horror franchise. Both of these games on display are remakes of the original titles of the same name and saw massive success. Resident Evil 2 won the Golden Joystick Award for Game of the Year, outsold the original, and became the best-selling game in the franchise. And the 2023 remake of Resident Evil 4 became the fastest-selling installment and achieved much critical acclaim along with several award nominations and wins.
