Silent Hill came out shortly after Resident Evil popularized the survival horror genre, while the gameplay was similar to RE the game differentiated itself in many ways that really caused the series to stand on it’s own instead of just being labeled as a Resident Evil rip-off.
The big things that Silent Hill did different was [...]

Blood Omen: The Legacy of Kain (now on PSN)

Posted on September 16, 2009 in: PSX, Reviews

Blood Omen was one of my favorite PSX games when it was first released. The game itself boils down to a pretty average Zelda clone, but some interesting ideas, and an amazing storyline elevate the game to the point where it is much more than just the sum of it’s parts.

Wild Arms, the PSX classic western RPG available on PSN.

Posted on July 14, 2009 in: PSX

Wild Arms is a series that has always intrigued me. It’s JRPG in a western setting, with some futuristic elements. In my collection I’ve got all the Wild Arm games except the PSP tactics one, yet (as embarrassing as it is to say) I’ve barely put time into any of them. I haven’t even tried [...]

X-Files: Season 3 Episode ?

Posted on July 9, 2009 in: PSX

It was a sloppy survival horror game, and it was technical disaster. However, it did a great job bringing you into that world, and connecting the story from [...]

Weeks ago FF7 was released on the PSN in Japan. Around that time Square-Enix announced that the upcoming blu-ray release of Final Fantasy Advent Children would be the last thing they were doing with Final Fantasy 7 brand. While I’m sure that could change in the future, it seems to have squashed any hope of [...]

Now that I’ve actually gotten the R-Type Dimensions review up, I can write this one without having to re-write all my feelings on the R-Type series.
R-Type Delta is a PSX game; it was available as a download on the JPN and HK stores for quite a while, but only recently was released on PSN in [...]

I’m the chef! / My Hot Cooking – PSN-HK

Posted on May 1, 2009 in: PSX, Reviews

My first exposure to this game was on an Official Playstation Magazine demo disc from so long ago that I can’t even remember what city I was living in at the time. The game was so memorable that it stuck with me up until now.

At that time the game was labeled “I’m the Chef!” and [...]
