Quite possibly the most boring cartridge label of all-time. But inside of the cart is one of the coolest side-scrolling shoot-em ups on the Genesis.

Very cool level-designs and character-designs that are more fantasy and sci-fi than your normal space-setting for a shoot-em up. And pretty cool music to go along with it.

It also has a unique power-up system that utilizes magical or special attacks; and there are many different ones throughout the game. You can increase your magic shot's power, as well as your normal shot. And you can upgrade your character's speed. Be careful, though, you often end-up overpowering the speed and running into stuff as a result.

I don't know if it's gone up, but when I got this game, I got it for dirt-cheap off of eBay a few years back.

Gynoug ! So glorious

It's been 2 months I moved in my new house, it's fantastic of course we're very happy but the fact that we still don't have DSL is depressing. I hope this gets sorted soon..

I finally acquired my Framemeister XRGB Mini upscaler, for video capture purposes since I play on CRT screen. I spent quite some time already to tune it and I did a recording session, the results are already stunning !

Here's the playlist of my testing, remember all these are from real hardware and not from emulator: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-Q1t_Y2KQTVzK_qtF86EKwucu34We4_q

Congrats on your Platinum! Demon's Souls is still the King of Souls.

I'm a proud owner of this trophy, obtained without the glitch and without trading, lizard hunt is way more exciting that way!

If you loved the Latria atmosphere you should definitely consider playing Bloodborne !

And 699€ in EU !

Let's say it's a bit high for a price considering you'll need a PC 7 times more powerful to run VR...

I like the fact that when one's collection is "private" you can still see the categories on the left sidebar with the number of items owned for each console..

Not much new here (but that's not a bad thing). It's basically Dynasty Warriors, but with that added upgrade/store system I told you about. And set in Feudal Japan rather than Ancient China. It's also an early 360 release, so don't expect graphics that are gonna knock your socks off, but it gets the job done.

Liked it so much that it made me go and order Warriors Orochi for my 360.

Yeah I'm currently playing Samurai Warriors 4 on PS4 and I'm having a lot of fun with it, I foud out that Musou can be really addicting !

I had a really tough time to get the achievements on that game but that was definitely a blast to master it.

Already got 18 of them because yesterday I have completed the game also was viewing the rest of the achievements and the following two will be a pain in the ass: Becoming a Lightning God or You're Hired, really don't know how the hell am gonna kick Armstrong butt without receiving any damage cause the mothafucka is hard even in normal mode, guess am gonna work with the easiest ones first 

On my way to my platinum trophy I recorded all the bosses on revengeance difficulty, maybe that could help you out if you're in trouble.

One of the hardest trophy I think was the VR mission trophy and especially the 18. Here's my run on that one:

Totally forgot to post my last purchase from this past Saturday 19th, saw the title Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance at GameStop in a new condition for only $ 5 bucks where have to admit that am not a big fan of the Metal Gear series in fact the titles that I own from this franchise are only at my collection because a friend from the University told me to purchase them anyway and since this one doesn't have nothing to be part of the storyline decided to give it a try, already kicked the butt of two bosses and I do hope to finish it before the end of the year but right now am kinda busy eating all the tamales and buñuelos that I can 

Not canon to the series but definitely a great BTA like only Platinum Games can deliver. I had a really tough time to get the achievements on that game but that was definitely a blast to master it.

Yea for me the DC is the console of the perfect Last Blade II port and all those fantastic shmups, I don't care too much of the NAOMI & 3D stuff except for a very few games mentioned above, that's why I couldn't care less of a Dreamcast 2 PC thing that render 3D games in HD...

*Despite it's difficulty, I find Dark Souls to be easier than Demon's Souls

Indeed, Demon's is the King of Souls games, the hardest, the darkest, simply the best! Collecting those weapons with pure tendency requirements or lizard hunting for the endgame craft was quite something compared to the sequels.

Just too bad that I could kill the hardest enemy in the game at level 12 only with HEADBUTT!

I'm going to hold off on Dark Souls II for a while. I'm not sure what game I'm going to play next, but I know one thing: it has some big shoes to fill. Dark Souls was magnificent.

If you play Dark Souls II, please try Scholar of the first Sin complete version, it's the definitive version of the game and all the additions really make the game shine in the high level areas.
