I don’t play much anymore, but I’ve always been a fan of the Tekkens and the Jet Motos.

I had to include some pictures from the game. Devouring the souls of the other vampires has got to be one of the coolest and creepiest graphics that I have seen. Also, the game has a pretty good plot and good movies. I was surprised that the regular graphics were as good as the anime sequence in the beginning of the game. I even like that you don’t play a good character in the game because your basic motivation is revenge. This is probably my favourite playstation game of all time as it runs similarly to the Tomb Raider series, has better graphics, and has enough action and roleplaying to keep the gameplay interesting. Keeping the human cattle alive barely gives you faction with them so they will stop attacking you on site. TOO COOL!

HUGS!

**metal gear solid** is by far my favourite psx game. i was lucky enough to pick up the soundtrack in hong kong. i have a few posters, books, and even the solid snake action figure. i am not a big fan of todd mcfarlane figures, so i didn’t buy the rest.

hideo kojima is working on another installment, hopefully for psx2.

As a pretty strict RPGer, I’d have to say **Star Ocean: the Second Story**. The reply value on that game is pretty high, and although it’s not the best RPG I’ve ever played, it most certainly has the best music I’ve ever heard.

I also think that **Street Fighter Alpha 3** (I said, “_pretty_ strict”) is the best fighting game out on ANY system (yes, better than Tekken 3). It’s just so… well done.

FYI for all of you who seek tips on how to get past some certain point in your favorite games …

You are aware that there are a slew of web sites out there with cheats and (more importantly to me on occasion) walk-throughs of just about every game known to mankind.

Go to your favorite search engine, type the name of your game and the words “cheat” and “walk-through” and I bet you’ll find a bunch.

That sounds like the kind of behavior you might want to encourage. I, for one am really glad I can share all my geeky behavior with my wife.

And for a good web site that includes walkthroughs for just about any game, try  
[www.gamefaqs.com](http://www.gamefaqs.com)

I _never_ go there myself. That would be cheating. 😛

games that keep me coming back for more…

einhander  
intelligent cube  
gran turismo 1 & 2  
tekken 2 & 3  
metal gear solid  
tony hawk’s pro skater  
nfl blitz  
r type delta

the replay value of these games is just through the roof. i mean, i got intelligent cube like 3 years ago and i still play it to this day.

and believe it or not, i still have my 8 bit nintendo hooked up, and what’s even more amazing is that it still works. and what’s really gonna burst your bubble is that i still play it! games like…

contra  
life force  
un squadron  
street fighter 2  
river city ransom  
ice hockey

the body checks in ice hockey is what its all about. using the big fat dudes to check the little skinny guys… simply awesome.
