@[email protected] I remember the first time I laid eyes upon house of the dead in the arcades as a kid and being so scared yet unable to take my eyes away from it.
Wasn't until 2011 on a ferry to Normandy where I saw it again on the second floor and finally tried it.
Still need to buy the first two on Dreamcast; then I plan to get this one as well, you can never have too many light gun games.
I just wish they'd make a good modern way to play them, like what the PlayStation Move could've been.
@[email protected] I had Emerald, but this series peaked for me here.
It's the game I played most on my GBA SP by far.
@[email protected] This is why I believe all games should be given a physical release too, it's hard to preserve things we can't acquire anymore.
@[email protected] Wiimotes were honestly perfect for the light gun style of games.
I've been thinking of a way to use sensors to imitate light gun tech in the modern day for games like this. House of the Dead was a solid one, really needs to make a comeback.
@[email protected] They should've done more with this series, one of the best by far.
Legendary in its time. I don't think we'd ever seen such movie-esque story in gaming before or for a long time after.
@[email protected] Ever played Frame Gride?
You like mechs, you'll love that one.
Shame FromSoft never port their games to other systems, they really had something with that.
@[email protected] I always get Cannon Spike and Charge 'n' Blast mixed up for some reason.
Still remember buying Tomb Raider at CeX and finding Charge 'n' Blast in the back side of the case, as far as on rails shooters went, it was pretty rad.
I'm yet to get Cannon Spike, but it's one I want to get one day.
@[email protected] Funny enough I think I saw Ghost Squad in CeX the other day when they had their "spooky sales" section up alongside other Wii titles fit for Halloween like Resi Evil 4, I'll be sure to grab that one if it's still there next time I go.
As for arcades though, same here. The only arcades were always near the beach, the closest things we had locally were computer cafés and such. I always wondered why they were so far out as a kid.
