If I find a game on ebay, I always ask the seller if it's genuine and ask them to provide pics of the boards. I've been burned a few times, thankfully nothing expensive.
I play my CMVS MV2F in US AES mode. I also like the auto fire option in shooters and the Metal Slug games. It keeps me from beating the crap out of the A button.
As much as I try, I just can't get into The Last of Us. I bought it day one, played for a few hours, and I never went back. I really want to like it but something's holding me back.
I'm just passed the point when Sephiroth kills Areis. The whole area leading up to that scene, even all these years later, still gives me the feeling that something terrible is about to happen. That's brilliant game design.
I find FF7 to be very creepy in areas. No real blood and guts moments, but the atmosphere does a great job at making you feel uneasy. Baseball Stars 2 in honor of MLB Playoffs. Nothing beats October baseball!
I'm really into Final Fantasy 7 at the moment. The last time I played through it was back when it first released. Super Mario 3D World and Baseball Stars 2 are getting some heavy play as well.
You should check this guy out.

I asked him to make a custom Neo sticker for my consolized MV2F. He did a good job and the cost for a custom sticker was reasonable.
It's a fun game. I like the 2 machine guns, and the cargo ship stage has some tricky jumps to make, but the whole game still feels a bit watered down. Especially compaired to the brilliance of MSX and 3. Final boss was a big disappointment.
Yeah buddy. I slaved away working part-time at McDonald's for months in order to buy one. I was 16 years old. Even managed to afford a new game every couple of months!
