Biohazard/Resident Evil Gun Survivor.

Crappy game.

-Downs

The graphics look like someone regurgitated on cow manure and mixed it with my mom's health food.

The gameplay is incredibly simplistic. I barely had to use herbs ever and can make it through easily with just the handgun, shotgun, and magnum. The puzzles required no thinking at all.

The acting was sub-par.

The cutscenes were almost worse than the in-game graphics.

The game can be beaten in roughly an hour.

Ups-

Music was great though.

Plot was fairly interesting.

The game does manage to be creepy at times.

But even the ups cannot save this game from the realms of sheer crappiness.

But you know what else is odd? I absolutely love the game. :grin:

Sure, it sucks.... but hey.... too much Resident Evil is never a bad thing. And it IS fairly enjoyable. (Even a friend I loaned the game too before liked it.)

Pick it up. It's one of the better crappy games money can buy.

Suikoden IV saw a price drop a few weeks back, so I finally got my copy. Lots of fun, but I just love this series, so I might be partial.

And Advance Wars By Web, as always. I've been doing pretty good. ^_~

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Now Playing:

1. Advance Wars: Dual Strike! - Wow, the game is just a blast. The gameplay and replay value almost touch perfection. I highly-highly recommend this game to almost anyone with a DS.. even if you don't care for strategy or war.
2. And a little bit of Battlefield 2 here and there.

I finally actually picked up Arc the Lad off my 'to play' pile. (It's currently been sitting there half a year.) As expected, the plot is jammed with cliches, but I'm finding the game very enjoyable.

I just got a new tv with AV input jacks, so I can stop using an adapter whenever I play my Dreamcast. My adapter always gave the screen this awful white glare where the brighter colors would be. Now that that is no longer a problem, I can play all the games that would have been pretty much ruined with the adapter. The first one I popped in was Shenmue. Man, how I missed that game. So glad I can play it again.

Nintendo DS:
1. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Wow, I am loving this game! It's a very refreshing game experience. It's got me screaming "Objection!" at the DS (really)!
2. Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow: Just got a few more rooms to explore and I'm at 100%!
3. Advance Wars Dual Strike Mmmm… War Room...
4. Trace Memory: Barely started… umm… I like the art.

I think I'll just keep my DS plugged into the wall.....
