Now I don't mean to be at all rude, but the centre of Cwmbran is not very nice... it looks a little like a dump, now don't get me wrong, I'm not badmouthing it or anything, but it does, sorry, the hills and valleys all very beautiful, but the shopping centre looks like it was transported out of the eighties and hasn't changed since.

Though saying that, it appears that Cwmbranians have impecable taste in games.

Visiting both the local Gamestation and recently arrived Cash Generator -which is far nicer than the one in Newport- both myself and Catherine found a literal treasure-trove of items!

Not only did gamestation have a Resident Evil 4 gamecube that was originally new but had to be marked as pre-owned at £24.99!! Dude! and to top it off I got to pick up a couple of 2 for £20 for a tenner as a special offer. Sorry, Game, but you're a bit smelly at the moment, and right now I'm in love with Gamestation, although there are a few things that I'm pretty annoyed about.. well I say a few I mean one.

They have stopped selling retro games in Gamestations!!

So now we have hardly any places that we can purchase retro games conviently

It is a sad day for Charlotte, but then I did get my nice shiny console and these two games;

I'd been meaning to check out Contact for a while being a Grasshopper game, and it is a pretty neat RPG. Although Suikoden V is not happy, having thought I didn't actually have the game I bought it, but I had not shown the series much love for a while, and I do infact own it! *cowers in shame* So I am hoping to go to Gamestation soon to swap it for something equally as tempting!

Now this is not the end of my tale! Oh no, because I stopped in at Cash Generator, because they could have something decent, and they did actually, and a lot of their games aren't badly priced.
