Yeah it would be easier if it were spelt njsikora but it doesn't look as cool does it?

Last week I set a challenge. How much game can you get for only £5? I came back from a branch of CEX with Timesplitters, Dynasty Warriors 3 and Zone of the Enders. I decided after that that CEX was way too easy so today I took another £5 and checked out the regular game stores. Almost an hour of umms, ahhs and a long chat to the store staff about the boxed copy of Secret of Mana in the nearby Gamestation later I spotted something rather special on the Gamecube. Following that I went to the other side of the store to look at the Playstation 2 games and found this. Jackpot.



Ico - £5

And naturally it's the superior PAL version. Happy the re-release got 60hz support so I can play it on my modded PS2 here.
Radical find, I like this blog feature.
