Well... the ordeal is mostly over, the trauma forgotten and the scars mostly gone. The only thing left really is the capsule scan in march... so far away that i don't even think they'll find anything wrong with me... waste of time really...

Recently though, i've discovered that the PSP can run PSOne games... how cool is that? So I delved into my archives and pulled out one of my favourite games that I never completed... Parasite Eve...

It was a truly magnificent game and, at the time, it was nigh on impossible for me to beat (I got as far as this freaky ultimate being baby thing.... for anyone who remembers the game).

This was also one of the games that had the most beautiful design for the main female lead and, sad as it may be, I remember I was totally in love with Aya Brea :P

How could you not be? She was lovely (more images here)

I think my interest was re-sparked by finding the book which started it all, written by Hideaki Sena... but I've not had a chance to read it yet (I hear it's awesome though)


The game is timeless and even playing it now, it is superb and brings back all the feelings i had for this game when it first came out... and it's a billion times better than Parasite Eve 2 which played more like Resident Evil...

Seriously... If any game deserves a modern remake, it's Parasite Eve (or even a third game Square? Please? m(_ _)m ). Just imagining this game remade like Resident Evil Zero for the GameCube is making me shudder with anticipation... If it ever is released on a new gen console, it's reason enough for me to get it I can live in hope...

Next on my classic game hunt is Xenogears :P
