Koukai Sarena Katta Shuki: The Note

Also known as: The Note Platforms: PSX Release Date: 1997-01-17 Regions: Japan Europe Another ultra-obscure Japanese horror game that never made it to America.

Platforms: PS2 Release Date: 2004-03-16 Regions: USA Europe Chris’s Rating: ☆☆☆☆ A textbook example of what you get when you treat game design as a list of features taken from other popular games (hint: it’s not good). X-Files: Resist or Serve is sort of a mess. I can see the feature list on some producer’s […]

Resident Evil 0

Also known as: BioHazard 0 Platforms: GameCube, Wii Release Date: 2003-03-07 Regions: USA Japan Europe Chris’s Rating: ★★★☆ Seemingly minor tweaks to the rapidly-aging Resident Evil formula end up changing the traversal strategy considerably.
