| - | * Rudie: This game is garbage. It is ugly. Actually somewhere near completely hideous. The plot is not a sleep aid at best. The combat system makes every battle easily winnable. I stopped at the end of Disc 2 because I realized this game wasn't entertaining at all. I didn't go in with the expectations that it would give me a blowjob, I just expected it to be dated and entertaining. The fact that it is at all revered is mind blowing. I imagine only because this game is involved in a money making pyramid scheme does it have any accolade at all. | ||

| * Maztorre: //[[game:panzer_dragoon_saga|Saga]]// is an RPG set in the same world as the previous two titles, and fleshes out the brief storylines of the previous games. The battle and exploration mechanics are pretty unique and worth checking out, they haven't really been adopted by any game since. | * Maztorre: //[[game:panzer_dragoon_saga|Saga]]// is an RPG set in the same world as the previous two titles, and fleshes out the brief storylines of the previous games.

| * unhappy days: I do think //Radiant Silvergun// deserves all the praise it gets. The combo system adds so many extra layers of depth and strategy. | * unhappy days: I do think //Radiant Silvergun// deserves all the praise it gets.

| - | * The Blueberry Hill: I'm not sure I can sell it any better than a Youtube video can ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shTMXSlZue4]]), but: It's one of those lovely bleak-feeling shooters, mostly due to the music, which is some parts SNES-muffley, some parts Bomberman 64 crisp. The presentation is lovely, especially the level transitions. There's a lock-on mechanic with variable 'cone' shape, otherwise things are pretty standard. I guess that's it: an above-average shooter, with great atmosphere.\\ It also has a Battle Garegga demo :) | + | * The Blueberry Hill: I'm not sure I can sell it any better than a Youtube video can ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shTMXSlZue4]]), but: It's one of those lovely bleak-feeling shooters, mostly due to the music, which is some parts SNES-muffley, some parts Bomberman 64 crisp.
