One (minor) thing that's bothered me about Requiem is the lack of a photo mode. RE4 Remake is one of the few games where I actually enjoyed using it, so it's a shame they didn't bring it back for whatever reason.

I never find it easy to list my favourite games because I'm always flip-flopping. Regardless, here is a selection of my most loved games, limiting myself to one entry per franchise.

These Giant Depraved Ones still put the fear in me, all these years later. Make one mistake and they can give you a very long run-back..

Not much to say about the Leechmonger. Possibly the least memorable boss in the game. At least Dirty Colossus has a funny name.

Beat Resident Evil Requiem! Possibly the best in the series since RE5? Tough choice since the games are so consistently awesome.
It also had some of the best death animations in the series too! I thoroughly enjoyed being tore in half, ground up into a red paste and halved by chainsaws.

some new pics of The Mummy since the RGB mod. we're entering 'horror in Egypt' territory here, with enemies ambushing me to scary music. but i find comfort in the sparkly scanlines of these darkly lit dungeons.

On this Suikoden Tuesday, we continue filling our ranks and then prepare for the impending do-or-die battle against the demonic Luca Blight. Will our brave citizens' army strike a blow against the corrupt state or will they be crushed underneath its boot?

revisiting a game from my childhood based on a movie from my childhood, the Mummy!

expect derpy faces and scary encounters. no wonder i never made it past the first level. yet it is more pleasing & fun than the average tie-in PS1 game.

and now i feel like watching the movie too!

I know your pain, I'm basically going through the same thing right now. But I think you come across as pretty cool, so I'd try not to worry about it.

Finished FF9 again, might be the tenth-ish time and still the Final I like the most. Hadn't played it on original PS and CRT for a long time though.

Been revisiting Fallout 3 and New Vegas on the PS3. Obviously not the ideal way to play them, but I have an exceptionally high tolerance for shitty frame rates (looks nice on my older LCD at least!).

I do think they're lacking the sauce of the turn-based games, which I'd never realised till now.

The Old Monk is one hell of a swing-- a boss that hijacks another player and press-gangs them into fighting you.

Absolutely killer idea.

The lore flavor is tasty as well. I love the mountain of chairs. Why stack all those chairs? I'll never know, and that's great.
