The Dreamcast may be long dead but SEGA are continuing to release some quality titles. One such game is PANZER DRAGOON ORTA [which is released on the 28th of this month].

If you liked the luscious REZ then you are bound to like PDO. Like REZ, it's an 'on-rails' flying shooter, and it looks beautiful and plays like a dream. Smilebit, the creators of the game, have produced something truly fantastic.

Having played the Xbox demo of the 1st level, I can't wait to get my hands on this beauty. Yes it's true that all the gameplay consists of is shooting things, but [for me] it's going to be a game to treasure: a visual feast which is both relaxing and intense at the same time.

Anyone else counting the days until it's release?

Slightly crazy ;)
Seriously though, it's probably a worthwhile investment, and on top of that you get to play some classic games.

Both. After reading the feature in Edge magazine about these highly collectable games, I decided I wanted most of them. Look at them as an investment. These will be worth almost twice as much as they are now. I have seen a copy of Radiant Silvergun on e-bay for £125 (Buy it Now).

I am seriously considering buying it. You might think I'm crazy, and I think I am. BUT, I'm looking at is an a decent investment and the value of it would rise rather than decline.

I can't say that I do.
120 quid! Are you on a Saturn game collection mission, or are you buying now to sell later?

If you know anyone who can get hold of a copy of Radiant Silvergun, let me know. I'd be willing to shell out £120 for that game...

Yeah, I heard the old Panzer games are quite rare and selling at a high price.

Yeah, of course it will! The graphics are supposed to be out of this world.

What about Panzer Dragoon Saga? The 4 disc RPG on the Saturn? Very, very rare and hard to find...and I got myself a copy! Heh heh! It cost me a fair old wedge of cash as well but apparently it's worth about £120!

The Saturn Panzer Dragoons were cool, but this new version will be sweeter.
