When I bought Samurai Shodown Anthology (PS2), I thought that my dream to own this great series has come true. After playing it, I realized that my dream was too good to be true. 
This big disappointment of mine, resulted in the creation of my FIRST review here at GameSpot. I made it just to inform (warn) other gamers of the incompleteness of this collection, which sadly, could have been great.
To make things short, one of the games (Samurai Shodown V) was totally BUTCHERED. The dialog between the characters that happen at certain moments during the game are GONE. How do I know that this is factual? It's because I own the Japanese version which is called Samurai Spirit Zero (too bad I don't read Japanese).
There is NOT even a dialog with the final boss before fighting him (LAME). 
SNKPlaymore, this is a shameful way to sell your games!
I will be MORE careful with your collections in the future. 
Well, we are already in the middle of this gen and I'm still at the sideline. I'm NOT buying the expensive PS3 so that I can play a few games that interest me (MGS4, FF XIII, GOW 3) and with multiplatforms looking better on another console.
I'm also NOT buying the Xbox 360 with its despicable RRoD curse (Jasper hasn't been proven, yet and screw the 3 year warranty).
Finally, the Wii isn't for me (did that rhyme?).
So, that leaves me with my BIG OLD FAT PS2. Been with me since 2003 and STILL alive and kicking. Lots of unfinished games, but what's this? More games coming for the PS2 (Devil Summoner 2, Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus, Naruto Ultimate Ninja 4)? 
Although these games may not be much to brag about but still it's something to take note that there are publishers that keep bringing more games to this console.
Yes, you can say that I'm missing all the fun of the current gen, but that happens when you got a tight budget and a world in recession looming over you. All this translates into a feeling of disappointment towards the current gen.
I hope Sony and MS don't repeat their mistakes in the NEXT-GEN. Backward Compatibility and NO defective hardware, PLEASE. 
In the mean time, here comes Fatty PS2 to the rescue! I'll bow to the KING of last gen and admire its longevity (entering it's ninth year).
LONG LIVE PS2! Let MORE games come to you! (did that rhyme?) 
It's been a while since my last blog. But something important has appeared that has confirmed our suspicion of a foul practice of an important console company.
Yes, you may already have guessed, I'm talking about Microsoft selling defective Xbox 360s.
This truth was revealed to us by a brave ex-employee of VMC (which tests games for Microsoft) . For more detail, please read:

I like to express my sincere gratitude to this courageous person who spoke the truth (at the cost of his job). Not many people have the guts to do that.
I don't care if he broke a contract for exposing M$'s dirty act. What IS more important is that this guy told the TRUTH for the world. He did THE RIGHT thing.
Mr. Robert Delaware, thank you for the TRUTH and I wish you good luck in finding a new job.
