I've heard of this game. I love how the second boss is already dead and you don't have to fight him...but he tells you lol. Definitely a very odd footnote in NES history. And though the gameplay is bland, at least it's playable. That's more than you can say for a lot of NES games.
I've never played any of the older RE games but I'd really like to get the GameCube REmake. I certainly wouldn't mind taking a trip through the series but man, that would take so long lol. Good write up. It's amazing how many different releases this game has had.
Infinite is one of the few games of this gen that I preordered and played right away and I don't regret that at all. It's an awesome experience. I'm really looking forward to that DLC in Rapture...I just gotta make some room on the old 360 harddrive.
My wife played this and really liked it (naturally, I want to play it sometime but haven't yet lol). The one thing she really didn't like was when you beat a boss you had to pull its id out using the motion controls of the Sixaxis controller, something I'm sure Sony pushed on the developer. It's just unnecessary and frustrating, as I'm sure you know. But it's a small gripe in light of the rest of the game. It's a shame there aren't more games with such a great setting.
"Casual" games are the only ones my parents play but they've played a lot of them and some have been really good. It's a shame that gamers will ignore or even degrade such experiences just because you're not shooting aliens or whatever. And you're right: If there's a haven for the adventure genre, it's the casual space.
For me, I've tried a lot of different experiences on iOS and have found some really cool stuff. It's definitely a good thing to branch out now and then.
I can't help but wonder how the session to rate the movie went down. I like to imagine four or five old men watching it and then deciding the rating based on how many of them wet their pants during the movie. That seems about how scientific it must be lol.
The MPAA has a knack for showing how useless it is lol. What's the point of a system if the objective facts about the movie are superceded by the subjective feelings of the people that happened to watch it at the time? How can you trust it?
You probably remember my frustrated blog about Demon's Souls back during the spring. I still haven't gone back to it, though I have gotten a lot of good advice since then. I do want to give it another go but there are so many other things to play (going through El Shaddai right now for Backloggers, for instance), so I'll put it off for a little longer. Perhaps I'll find myself with a copy of Dark Souls sometime. Stranger things have happened...
That's my philosophy exactly. As long as someone plays it, and maybe I will eventually. Hopefully.
OR A CASTLEVANIA RPG!
Hmm, I have serious doubt about how well that might turn out lol
