Soul Reaver

[javasaurus]

I'm not sure why, but I started up the old Sega Dreamcast and started playing Soul Reaver. I bougth the game used just before I switched mostof my game playing to PC, and let the consoles get dusty, so I didn't play it much back when Sega was still alive and kicking. Absolutely amazing game, despite being something like 7 years old. Even now, the graphics and gameplay are not sub-par.

Basically, it's a FPS with swords, not guns. And oh, your avatar is undead. If you've played Medi-Evil on Playstation I (I think there's now a version for PSP), it's a lot like that, but without the humor, maybe more like Tomb Raider with a sword.

While the game is full of hack-n-slash, it's really based on puzzles. Most of the puzzles are somewhat clever, though there's lots of moving granite blocks around.

The last time that I was at computer show, the monitor dealers were all using the Dreamcast to generate their monitor displays.

I used to play on a VGA. Wow. That was nice.

Speed Devils is still the most fun racer that I've ever played. The only true version of SoulCalibur was the Dreamcast version.

Ahhh, nostalgia.
