Saiyuki: Journey West is loosely based on the Chinese novel, Journey to the West. This is one of the more creative games from Koei, as it isn’t one of the long-running strategy games. It is also not based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is something different for this company. I remember beingContinue reading “Saiyuki: Journey West, A Great Hidden Gem on the PS1”

Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Creepy Survival Horror Game
The Resident Evil series has been taken in some odd directions in recent years. I remember being a little confused by the inclusion of other monsters, because I remember it as being a game about avoiding zombies and solving puzzles. This is what happens when you only play a few games in the series andContinue reading “Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Creepy Survival Horror Game”
Breath of Fire III is one of My Favorite RPGs
Breath of Fire III was the first PS1 game I bought. I’m not sure why I went with this game, especially since I hadn’t played the other two games in the series. There was just something about it that made me want to play it. I’m pretty sure I bought this game and a PS1Continue reading “Breath of Fire III is one of My Favorite RPGs”
Vanguard Bandits is a Good, but not Great PS1 Game
The PS1 library is full of RPGs that I’ve never heard of. Every time I think I know about them, I manage to find a few more. I know this won’t last forever, but at the moment, it feels like I keep stumbling across a new one every other month. Vanguard Bandits is one ofContinue reading “Vanguard Bandits is a Good, but not Great PS1 Game”
The Best Retro Wrestling Games
Since I’ve reviewed wrestling games on the NES, Game Boy, SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64, and Dreamcast, I decided to list the games I enjoyed the most. This isn’t a best of list, it is simply the games I enjoyed more than the others, or was surprised by. I had never played many of these gamesContinue reading “The Best Retro Wrestling Games”
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”

Some of these are among the worst games I’ve ever played, while others are very good. I’m going to go over some of the reviews for these games that stood out. IContinue reading “WCW Games Ranked from Worst to Best”
