Vagrant Story; Metal Gear Solid; and some more.

Well, seems over the past week or so, I've gone from playing plenty of PC titles, to plenty of Playstation titles.  No, not PS2.  PSX.  I managed to pass Metal Gear Solid 2 in a day (no surprises there), Call of Duty 2 got old, same goes for Star Trek: Elite Force 2, and so, I went and started playing some old Playstation games.

I finally got passed this one spot in Metal Gear Solid (the first one) where it always froze up after the ninja battle when you meet Otacon, (I had to press A on the cutscenes =P) only to notice how inferior this game really was to the 2nd one, gameplay-wise.  I should really pick up the Gamecube remake when I get the chance.  Soon after, I hit another spot where the game froze up.  Joy.

So, I decided to stop with MGS, and pick up some new games.  While going through the top rated PSX titles on IGN, (easier to categorize the best there) I came up with Vagrant Story, one of the only RPG's by Square I haven't played on PSX.  So far, I'm disgusted with it.  The brown tones don't pull me into the game, they pull me away from it; the battle system, while unique, gets tedious after the 200th or so fight, and this first dungeon has gone on for 2 torturous hours, making me think it's a dungeon crawler.  Tell me people, DOES THIS GAME CHANGE?!  The brown tones in this game make me want to puke.  Finding out that it was made by the same guys by Final Fantasy Tactics only more pulls me away from the game.  Bleah.

Oh yes.  I also got Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, hoping to see if the gameplay changed much from the first one.  I don't see any signifigant change yet, but I haven't played it enough.

Well, that be all.  I plan to make an update on my website, but Windows had to be reinstalled on the computer I work on.  Joy.
