The White Stripes
White Blood Cells XX
Not a better day to receive the 20th anniversary companion box, than on the day it was originally released.
Happy 20th Birthday to White Blood Cells!
I’ve been enjoying the lp of demos as well as the second lp of a scorching set live in Louisville, KY! Another superb anniversary vault package, that also includes a DVD of recording footage.
I should be receiving a little commish on this post as Third Man also release an “HD” remaster of the album available digitally wherever you listen to music! Haha

Horizon Chase Turbo
PS Vita
Absolutely fired right up to have this limited PS Vita version. I always though this would be great on a handheld, and since I currently do not own a switch… let’s gooo Vita!
Great little package from Eastasiasoft on another great release. Despite not having any co-op or the DLC, it’s still pretty great. Sadly it doesn’t look like this will see a digital release, but you never know, there’s still time before new digital Vita games come to a halt.

Fitting to have a sweet mail day from , on the day of their E3 showing. Looks like they have some great stuff to offer this year.
If you don’t know how great of a beat em up this game is, I suggest you look into it, and for those that know, y’know. Thankfully it’s now solidified in the flesh unlike the 360/PS3 version. Let’s goooo!

Part 2 of a PlayAsia haul!
Aqua Kitty DX is one of my favourite PS Vita games, I’m really glad Tikipod came through with a sequel, and it’s sooo good! Definitely has that Pixeljunk Shooter 2 feel to it with lots of little RPG elements. Can’t wait to play some more!

Happy to add this little gem to my Vita collection. This is a fun side scrolling shoot em up that reminded me a lot of the Parodius series. I believe there is only around 1000 copies made, I’m super stoked to have one.
