Review – Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1)

Konami – Playstation – 1 Player Castlevania games are hard. Or at least they used to be. They tend to be kind of random, long and have clunky controls. At least on the NES. I have never really cared much for Castlevania games. The whole “goth” and “vampires” thing never really appealed to me either. Still, Symphony of the Night I one of those games you hear people talk about a lot. When people start saying a game is one of the best they have ever played, it generally is worth giving a little attention to. I had first purchased…

Review – Final Fantasy IX (PS1)

It’s amazing how something so good (FF8) can be followed by something so bad. Rumor has it, people complained about FF8 a lot. They complained because it was so different from the “classical aspects of the series” that Square decided to give the fans what they really wanted. In reality Square (hopefully purposely) created a bad remake of all of thier previous FF games all rolled into one. Pretty much every aspect of this game is based on some other game. Surprisingly it seems to draw the most from FF1. The biggest setback in this game was the return to…

Playstation 1 – Squaresoft – 1 Player Sometimes you play through a game, and for some reason you just know you’ve played a really good game. One good way to know that a game has got to be at least marginally good is if over the course of playing it your opinion of it completely changes. With little or no effort, you find a game you expected and did hate suddenly becomes something you enjoy playing. That is the case of Final Fantasy 8. Before playing this game, as far as I could tell from what others were saying ti…

Review – Digimon World (PS1)

I think it is best to start out by saying that I like Digimon in general. I like it a lot really. Season 2 was stupid, but Season 1 and 3 are great. In the whole Pokemon vs Digimon thing I pick Digimon hands down. The monsters are much more bad ass, the story is ten times better than "Let’s train our monsters to kill eachother for prizes!". Anyway, I really like Digimon. So hey, a Digimon Playstation game! Neat. And it’s an RPG. How can you lose? Well apparently pretty fucking easily. Digimon World, is one of the worst…

Review – Beast Wars: Transmetals (PS1)

COMMENTS 1. In the Predacon opening video Megatron specifically refers to the name of the Predacon ship as the Darkside.  Isn't this only the second reference suggesting this?  I guess that sort of makes it more official. 2. There are lots of little details from the show in there, which give it a really nice touch. 3. This game could not possible fall into show continuance though as BA is in he Transmetal 2 form and everyone else is in Transmetal form. 4. There are various extra things to do.  One is looking through a gallery of all the Transmetal…
