Wild Arms, A Terrific RPG on the PS1

The only thing I remember about Wild Arms is how I mistakenly thought it was a sequel to Thousand Arms. I’m not sure why I felt that, because the two games have nothing to do with each other. This game has a dark Wild West setting. People in the game seem to be getting readyContinue reading “Wild Arms, A Terrific RPG on the PS1”

Tail of the Sun: An Extremely Bizarre PS1 Game

Tail of the Sun is a bizarre game. It is an action-adventure game where you play as a tribe of cavemen. You only control one at a time, and in theory, they get stronger with each generation. This is one of my favorite PS1 games because of how weird it is. It has a simpleContinue reading “Tail of the Sun: An Extremely Bizarre PS1 Game”

RayStorm is one of the Best Shooters on the PS1

RayStorm was released in 1996 and is a vertically scrolling shooter published by Taito. It is the second game in the Ray series, with RayForce being released in 1994 in the arcades and RayCrisis getting a 1998 release. Both of those games were eventually released on the home console. Three shooters happen to be partContinue reading “RayStorm is one of the Best Shooters on the PS1”

Rampage 2: Universal Tour is a little better than World Tour

Rampage 2: Universal Tour was released in 1999, and is the third game in the series. It is a sequel to World Tour, which was released in 1997. The gameplay had some minor changes, but it is mostly the same game. One thing I like about this game is how it continued the story fromContinue reading “Rampage 2: Universal Tour is a little better than World Tour”

A Look Back at Final Fantasy VII on the PS1

Final Fantasy VII is the game that made the series mainstream. It might be hard to believe, but there was a time in North America when not everyone knew about or liked Final Fantasy. Contrary to what some people think, not everyone was on the internet in the 1990s, and not everyone was subscribed toContinue reading “A Look Back at Final Fantasy VII on the PS1”

Brigandine is a Wonderful Strategy Game on the PS1

Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena is a strategy RPG for the PS1. There is a sequel to this game which changes the subtitle. Initially I thought it was a remaster or remake, but it is a direct sequel. I remember owning this game when I was younger but didn’t spend much time with it. IContinue reading “Brigandine is a Wonderful Strategy Game on the PS1”

Thunder Force V, One of the Best Shoot’em Ups on the PS1

Thunder Force V is a side-scrolling shoot’em up released on the PS1 in 1998. It was developed by Technosoft, like the other games in the series, and was published by Working Designs in North America. This means it has an awesome-looking cover! TLDR: It’s a spectacular shoot’em up despite transitioning the series away from pixelContinue reading “Thunder Force V, One of the Best Shoot’em Ups on the PS1”

WCW/NWO Thunder is one of the Worst Games I’ve Played

I looked at WCW Nitro last time, and now I’m looking at the sequel, WCW/NWO Thunder. I hope the development team learned from Nitro’s mistakes and made this game better. I hope I won’t be too disappointed. Inland Productions made both Nitro and Thunder, so the games will look good. Nitro was the first wrestlingContinue reading “WCW/NWO Thunder is one of the Worst Games I’ve Played”

WCW Nitro on the PS1: Great Graphics, Abysmal Gameplay

I feel like I should apologize to The Simpsons Wrestling. While I still think it is the worst wrestling game in the PS1, WCW Nitro is pretty terrible. It feels like an arcade game with how stripped down it is. I remember seeing WCW Nitro and Thunder games in stores while shopping or looking forContinue reading “WCW Nitro on the PS1: Great Graphics, Abysmal Gameplay”
