Fighting Force 2 on the PS1 is Simply Bad

I liked the first game, so I was looking forward to this one. It seems like there is a story behind Fighting Force 2’s development, and I might look for it at some point. From what I read, Fighting Force 2 started as something different, and turned into a single-player beat’em up. This game playsContinue reading “Fighting Force 2 on the PS1 is Simply Bad”

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”

Fighting Force is a Good Beat’em Up on the PS1

Fighting Force is a 3D beat’em up from the team that created Tomb Raider. I previously played the N64 version, which I thought was good but not anything special. It was a fun game, and it made me want to play the PS1 version and the sequels on the PS1 and Dreamcast. I remember likingContinue reading “Fighting Force is a Good Beat’em Up 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”

WWF War Zone is a Great Retro Arcade Game

I get WWF War Zone confused with Attitude. I remember renting one of them, but I might have rented both. They’re similar games with the same strengths and weaknesses. Both games were just placeholders for the Smackdown games. They were good at the time, but playing them now can be annoying. They’re both playable, butContinue reading “WWF War Zone is a Great Retro Arcade Game”

Revisiting WCW Mayhem on the PS1, It’s a Decent Game

I got this game for Christmas back in the 90s. At the time, I didn’t know much about WCW. My friends and I were watching WWF, and I only heard about WCW near the end of the NWO storyline. I did know a few of the wrestlers in this game. However, most of them wereContinue reading “Revisiting WCW Mayhem on the PS1, It’s a Decent Game”

Tactics Ogre is One of the Best RPGs

The Ogre Battle Saga is divided into two sets of video games. The Ogre Battle games focus on grander stories about the big countries in the game’s world. Tactics Ogre focuses on the local conflicts and takes place on islands. The Tactics Ogre games tell more personal stories about the people who participate in war.Continue reading “Tactics Ogre is One of the Best RPGs”
