To commemorate my acknowledgment on finally giving up on my lovely PlayStation One and finally moving over to my new sparkle of sunshine, my...

I decided I'd jot down a few of my all time favorite PSone games that truly and magnifcently made me gape with awe at (mainly) hot spikey haired hotties with shiny swords and colorful, bright magic attacks fighting for their puny pixelized lives in turn based battles...while drooling and catching aimlessly flying flies near my 'trap of doom' in the process...


If you think about it every game has its own special lesson to learn. Though the games that had the most impact on me where most probably this list that I hope won't bore you to death...and if does bore you to death then...

Ahem...like yeaaaaaaah on with the show...but first...a warning:


WARNING:

The following blog entry is not suitable for fidgety buggers that have no appreciation whatsoever of an adorable blogger (*points* MEEEEE!!!!) that has the sudden urge to blurt out whatever her bananas of a brain wants to blurt out at various obscure points of time....much like the inappropriate urge to surrender to mother nature right at this moment of time >_<



Xenogears

This game is so controversial that you will hardly find enough, if any, copies that are within the price range of a normal RPG game. It tackles topics that range from sex and drugs to religion in addition to how the characters deal with that mayhem. This is a really good game and I find that only people with open minds must play it. A friend of mine broke her disc in half after she couldn't take any more of its intense philosophical and religious innuendos. I find this better than its prequel "Xenosaga" even though it also tackles the same subjects yet with better graphics.


Metal Gear Solid

This is one of the most ingenious games to ever be created on a game console. Even though this game talks mostly about politics and nuclear weapons and the like, it still dwells on how a person finds himself in situations where he has to go ahead and not look back. This would extremely be difficult if you have no idea on who and what you are in the first place...and this is where the genetics part of the game kicks in. Genes, memes, betrayals, and genetic engineering mind-boggled me to no ends...but always in a good way of course =D


Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare


This installment did make me think and ponder about how human intent can be vicious and unrelenting and very twisted at its pursuit of power even to the extent of causing unimaginable harm to everyone around them whether it's to a family member or a complete stranger. Great game IMO, FYI.


The "Silent Hill" Series

This game explores how depraved minds and lost souls seek a way out from their so-called 'purgatory' and you get to go along for the ride and face those fears with the character. This game effectively taps into your primal fears at every nook n' cranny to the point you won't even have time for a single sigh of relief. I suggest you open your lights when you play...though that won't do any good in most cases XD


Breath of Fire IV

This is a great RPG game IMO and has amazed me to no ends. The fourth installment is the first one I played before the rest of the series, and the only downside is it was way too short. This game has some religious allusions and talks about gods and men and how this certain god wants to destroy the world he created because he found that humans and humanity, in general, are immoral, evil, and corrupt. Actually when I played the game, I found myself leaning to his side. But it still kept me wondering and thinking as to who is the good and bad guy and who really deserves to be punished; a god or a man?


Wild Arms 2nd Ignition

This game has a special place in my heart since it was my first RPG. Even though there is not much to learn from it I found that the theme that mostly struck a nerve was that of heroism and heroes and how heroes don't necessarily like to be in that postion since everyone expects them to die in order to save the world and everyone in it. I honestly never thought about heroes in this way and it made me contemplate on whether the main character wanted to be a hero in the end or not.

Wow, that was a great trip down memory lane...I feel so nostalgic *dries eyes*

Despite the fact, that I bought my precious PS3 a year ago (and never touched it since), I think its high time that I actually play on the damn thing instead of it gathering more dust than my legion of collectible Transformers and trolls.

Yeah I like trolls... u gotta problem wit dat punk biatch?! FEAR MY L33T POWERS!!!!

There are lots of games right now that will attract innocent fangirls like me to tall, hot, sweaty male game bishounen (for some lame reason I'm only picturing Nero from DMC4 at this moment...don't ask why...) that will await a fate worse than death in Mary-Sue inspired fanfic plots that will be created by yours truly...sometime in the far future.

*grins evilly* Oooooh, the horror of it all...
