Stage Select:
I don't really play that many scary video games, so I don't have much to put here. Levels that take place inside a living thing can be kind of gross and scary, what with all the eyeballs and tissue and such.
Sometimes a game can successfully make a level unsettling by using less, like not having any music or little of it. The best example I can think of that would be when you first enter Magus' castle in Chrono Trigger.
When I was a kid, SiniStar scared the crap out of me in arcades. I would purposely avoid it. Also, one weird thing that always scared me was the medusa statues in Adventures of Lolo. They would always take me by surprise when you accidentally passed them and they'd make that SHOOM! sound when they'd turn you to stone!
Cage Match:
Rumble Roses wins simply because I've never played Rule of Rose. Plus you'd think a wrestling game would win in a cage match. I wasn't very good at Rumble Roses when I played it. I'm not really into wrestling games, although some of the characters in this one seemed kind of cool. One time at E3 a long time ago, Konami had a booth set up with a wrestling ring with ladies dressed up as Rumble Roses characters. I talked with couple of them while I was waiting for a press meeting. They were really nice. And that's all I have to say about Rumble Roses.
Hey I know you said once before that it's hard to listen to my podcast because it's not on iTunes. I haven't gotten there yet, but I would like to encourage you to listen to my latest one because it's about RPGs and I know you like to talk about those. All you have to do is simply click on this link and it should take you right to the podcast, so that shouldn't be too hard, right? Thanks.
