Great article Blake. I usually don't even think about stuff like that. If the whole point of the game was to shelter Elizabeth from the evil around her, and your constantly killing everybody in horrific fashion, I can see how it would cause a disconnect. I'm guessing that Tomb Raider suffers from the same kinds of problems based off everything I've read about it. 
They should have made the whole game look 8 bit. I might be tempted to look into it more. It does sound interesting though. I'm surprised my brother doesn't have this one. Then again, maybe he doesn't know about it either.
I'm still living in the good ol days lol. I feel so meh about modern gaming and get bored with a lot of it really fast. I could never possibly get sick of playing the games that I grew up with, and I play them everyday. I recently hooked up my Sega Genesis again, and have been having a blast with it! There ain't no online DRM, 5 gig installs, patches, trophies, or any of that jazz, and that's just the way I like it.
You ever play Base Wars on NES? It's a baseball game where you play as robots! You can fight and kill each other with laser swords. Me and my brother played it a lot. I don't think we ever finished a game. We just killed enough players to make the other forfeit lol. I hope to review it someday.
42 sounds like a good movie. Maybe it will come to netflix someday?
I'd probably go insane if I had to listen to those peepers all day lol. Hopefully those beatles will help with you guy's pest problems. It's weird to think that an insect can cause so much damage.
yeah it still does somewhat, but I know how to clean them. Plus they are in sleeves and I started buying cases for them. Some of them don't ever want to work. Like Ninja Gaiden and Mario 2. I can't imagine how long it'd take to clean your entire collection lol. I never could find a comfortable position of the VB either. Are you gonna post pics of the rest of your collection?
That's an awesome collection man! It looks great on your shelf too. I have about 60 something NES games. I keep them in a shelf with doors so they don't gather too much dust. I can't help but notice that Virtual Boy down there. We used to have one of those things. Talk about some massive headaches lol.
It sounds like you got some great games Ben. My brother let me borrow Dissidia a while back and I still haven't played it. He said it's very addicting because you are constantly unlocking new items and what not. I agree that they should have more than two female characters. There's plenty of terrifc FF female characters! Celes, Freya, Rydia..
Also, not trying to bum you out, but I couldn't get over the slight lag effect in War of the Lions. I've played the ps1 version of that game to death lol. At least once a year. Supposedly the translation is a lot better and the story makes more sense though.
I'm glad Tristania made it this week. I wasn't expecting that. My favorite album by them is Widow's Weeds. Ashes was a great album too though.... really all of them lol. Thanks for another METAL MONDAY!
Thanks for sharing this. I had quite a bit of money but then got robbed of half of it. That Lu Yen dude was one greedy bastard. Like I'm gonna donate $116,000 to some temple when I can easily hit the N key lol.
