When a fire starts in the hotel, the ceiling sprinklers go off. Rather than spray water, they drop an oozing dark liquid all over the glamorous guests. This liquid, whatever it is, turns the other guests into vampires. Now it's your job to find an antidote while fending off preying bloodsuckers, flesh-eating zombies, and bone-crushing monsters. Through the game you'll explore eight different locations--from woodland areas to bars to casino floors--to solve the mystery.*Japanese version [31]*The survival horror genre has a scary new addition, with Countdown Vampires. With a story similar to the movie Blade and gameplay similar to Resident Evil, this game is definitely worth checking out. You play a bodyguard named Keith who is at a New Years Eve Party in Las Vegas. As the countdown to midnight begins, the partygoers are mysteriously turned into vampires, and its up to Keith to take them out. PLEASE NOTE: This is a multiple disc set. [R2D2-A]

Just days after surviving the grisly disaster at the mansion lab, Jill Valentine resigns from S.T.A.R.S. and attempts to escape a nightmarish city in ruins. Trapped in a town crawling with hordes of flesh eating zombies, hideous mutants, and a relentless new nemesis, she must rely on cunning and brute force to stay alive. What she soon discovers is the evil created by Umbrella Corporation's bio-tech terror is even more horrifying than she ever imagined . . . some secrets come back to haunt you." The Resident Evil series of games is one of the best available on the PlayStation. Nemesis continues in this horrifying tradition with a brand new game with more intense action!*Like RE2, this game also uses prerendered backgrounds and near identical gameplay, but is set more outdoors, in the streets of Racoon city. With lots of zombies as usual, as well as the 'Nemesis', who just won't die. [Haoie]

F. (Summoned Beast, Guardian Force) is a system that strengthens abilities by junctioning items (other than items such as items and weapons) to characters. In addition, remember the junction abilities (attack power junction, defense power junction etc.), you can further enhance the character by junctioning magic (Thunder, Fire etc.) to its abilities. In other words, you can customize characters indefinitely by combining character × abilities x magic.*Final Fantasy VIII, the sequel to Squaresoft's first PlayStation RPG, doesn't feature any of the characters from the original, but it does continue to deliver great gameplay. The story this time centers on Squall Leonhart, a young man in the military who is soon pulled into an adventure that spans the globe. Along the way, other characters can be recruited, ranging from the always-hyper Selphie to the egotistical Irvine. Nobuo Uematsu, who has composed the music for every Final Fantasy game, again scores the music. Featuring 3D characters and pre-rendered backgrounds, Final Fantasy VIII is one of the most impressive looking games ever.* [31]*Japanese version [31]European version [32]Japanese version [32]* [27]*FF8 is the most controversial from 7, 8 and 9. This is due to the radically different gameplay system. Examples of this include enemies that level with you, requiring component parts to make new weapons, and junctioning magic to make attributes higher. Personally, I loved it. [Haoie]*This is, without a doubt, the worst of the final fantasies. No armor, No shopping for weapons, An extremely annoying system for aquiring gil... These all together could be overlooked, even with the so-so graphics. The Real Killer, though, is the main character. Squall is nothing but an uncaring, insensitive, pompous, conceited, jerk. The fact that he 'gets better' later in the game doesn't matter... If you don't want to get there with him in the first place. [magehound]

In Diablo, you'll be wandering through 15 thrilling and exciting levels with incredibly detailed characters, monsters, and animations. Choose one of three character classes, including the rogue, the sorcerer, or the warrior. The great aspects of this game are the 15 levels of dungeons which are generated randomly, so you play a different game each time, and the amazing variety of items, magic, and monsters encountered while tackling the game's many quests.

This time, the entire town of Raccoon City is hit with the devastating virus that turned people into zombies in the orginal game. Now, it's up to rookie cop Leon Kennedy, and Claire Redfield to save not only themselves but any and all survivors! This is one game that has some of the best unique camera angles, storyline, graphics, sound effects, and music. Definitely worth a look!***In RE2, there are 2 playable characters [and 2 more secret]. When 1 scenario is done, you can take the role of the other to see things from their perspective. And let's not forget all the zombie blasting that has to be done. Set mainly in the Raccon City Police Department. [Haoie]

Combining fully polygonal characters with pre-rendered backgrounds and a stirring musical score by Nobuo Uematsu, Final Fantasy VII is a worthwhile addition to any RPG collection. The story centers on the young mercenary Cloud Strife, who is fighting against the evil Shinra, Inc. Along the way, he meets an unforgettable cast of characters such as his childhood friend Tifa Lockhart and the grumpy pilot Cid Highwind. All together, it is an unforgettable and engrossing single-player game that can last for over 60 hours!* [29]* [32]* [27]Final Fantasy VII, is one of the best game avalaible for the PSX, the graphics are impressive, the sound Incredible, has more than 1 hour of Full motion Video, and the best of all the storyline is amazing, superb, if you like the RPG the you must have This game. And the VIII too.This is personally my least favourite Final Fantasy. They did well with the conversion to 3D, but I found the lack of decent story, the bad translation, the below average graphics etc. to be quite a turn off while playing. However, on the flip side of the coin, the spell effects are unrivalled by any other game of its time. The Materia system was an interesting devlopment, but all in all the game is too unbalanced to make it a truly enjoyable experience.As far as I'm concerned, I think the complete opposite. The graphics were in no way bad for PSX at that time. The combat system was even more balanced than in V or VI, while the story is so huge as to draw you in and flash through the amazing 30 hours of gameplay. Oh and the translation is no worse than most other Japanese RPGs, the PC version tidied this up a bit I think. Plus Sephiroth's sword is kick-butt.Witness the birth of the 3D RPG. Well, not quite, but a gigantic game with an incredible storyline, coupled with real-time action combat that had be honed through 6 previous games. A favourite instantly, this game brought RPGs out of Japan and selling widely in the West for the first time.This game was one of the most enveloping games I have ever played. The story was decent (to say the least), and the musical score was heartwarming. I will remember it forever. [DeviantBlade]FF7 is seriously overrated, and has produced more fanboys/fangirls than I'd care to count. However it's not all bad, it's pretty decent. Just not as godly as some would make it out to be. [Haoie]I agree with Haoie (above). Actually, got to like the second or third disc and stopped playing. The mini-games and all the damn little secrets were starting to wear me out. I give it credit for being the RPG that brought Japanese RPGs to the masses in the West, but that's about it. [cjlee001]**Lack of story?! That man seems to not know what a good storyline is... I love this game. If I could play it in my sleep I would...
