Re: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

The first 2 hours threw a LOT of tutorial stuff at me and, frankly, I've forgotten most of it. Ha! I'll get around to this game one day, but this doesn't instill confidence in me. I hate this type of things in games. There should always be the option to skip it and, I don't know, print actual manua...

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

So I played through a couple of hours of the demo with a friend on Sunday and...wow, what a weird game. I like it, I like it a lot. Sometimes a 7/10 is just more fun than a 10/10, you know? Anyway, not being the type of gamer who usually dabbles with this genre, frankly I don't know how the hell to ...

Re: 325: Shovel Knight

I picked this game up on Wii U recently and gave it a shot. What I learned from this experience is...there are some games that just aren't for me. Despite being a big fan of platformers I just didn't have the patience to 'git gud' with Shovel Knight. Something about the mechanics just didn't sit rig...

Re: 329: Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2)

I don't remember much about the meat and potatoes of this game but I do have wonderful memories of it. This is because I played through the game with my best friend of the time before we were separated forever by the inevitable forward march of our lives. It was summer and my friend and I were looki...

Re: 350: Final Fantasy VII

I originally played this game around the time it came out. I had played some previous RPGs but more in the action RPG genre - the likes of Secret of Mana, Illusion of Time and Secret of Evermore. As such a lot of the concepts introduced to me in this game were new and confusing. Random battles and t...

Re: 324: Resident Evil (2002) (Biohazard)

I can't remember if I picked up this game close to release or whether it was a little later but I do remember being absolutely blown away by how good it looked. I had played the original Resident Evil on the Playstation when I was young and was so scared by the initial encounter with a zombie that I...
