Archive: February 2006: “Din (Spil)Jagt er Endelig Ovre” / Game Reactor

A lovely cover featuring what might be Game Reactor editor Thomas Tanggaard’s favourite game, Shadow of the Colossus, my article in the magazine (In English, “Your (Game) Quest is Over”) was actually conceived around one of my recent favourite games , Ninja 5-0 (also known as Ninja Cop in Europe). The piece is actually about Game Quest Direct, the company that forces reprints of these kind of hidden classics and then, while they don’t give them away, they still charge far less than speculators on eBay. In a way they do a good thing; anything that pisses off collectors I can’t complain about. As the article states, it’s ridiculous that I can walk into any record store and buy a CD of an album released in 1971 but I’d have trouble finding any game more than 6 months old in an Electronics Boutique; the sooner the games companies realise it might make sense to sell their games for as long as possible (not just in the month of December) the better.
