Next up is Capcom’s Resident Evil Survivor – a really neat take on the Resident Evil series that gets horribly neutered in America. Due to the gun violence in schools, the light gun feature was removed, turning the game into a more awkward first person shooter then it’s original, more light gun-arcade feeling. Still a fun game to check out.

Last but not least is our featured game in the lot, Valkyrie Profile. A role playing game with one of the coolest combat engines I’ve seen in a while, and features some incredible in-game artwork. It’s a 2D-sprite based game dealing in Norse Mythology. Collect the souls of dead warriors and send them into battle.
