10/31/2023: Localization News - Dead of the Brain 1!

No, NOT a trick, a Halloween treat! Presenting the Dead of the Brain 1 English patch by David Shadoff for the DEAD last official PC Engine CD game published by NEC before exiting the console biz in 1999! I helped edit/betatest and it's also a game I actually finished in 2023, yaaay! Shubibiman also did a French localization. github.com/dshadoff/DeadoftheBrain

yeah..in the first place go for all the cave and other 2D shooters! after that all the 80s/90s capcom/Taito/namco and and and arcade compilations!

then my recommendation in 3D goes for silent hill 2~4! (ok the 4th part wasn't that great, but take a look).

I second these 3 games. If your new to Cave shooters, I'd suggest trying Espgaluda first. It's the easiest of the three and it has a awesome soundtrack to boot.

I also recommend these as well...

Gradius V

I simply cannot believe it's a PS2 game, it looks AMAZING.  :shock:

Going to grab a game called Technic Beat later, I think....


Also, I got Every Extend Extra for PSP.... HOLY SHIT IT RULES!!!

Definitely Gradius V.

If you like action/slasher/platformers with a little bit of RPG thrown in for good measure, try Genji: Dawn Of The Samurai. It's quite fun, and feels very authentic as it retains its original Japanese speech (subtitled in English though so you can actually follow the story if you don't speak Japanese). I can't really compare it to any other game available, as it's the first of its kind I've played.

What is wrong with you people, Gradius V is fucking awful.  The music sucks, and the bosses/enemies (especially the bosses) are the most uninspired, generic shit since the heyday of lame, generic shooters.  If the game didn't have "Gradius" in the title nobody would remember it.

Gradius V is pretty much the only Gradius game I can even tolerate.  I hate Gradius as a series, though Gaiden was kind of cool.  Otherwise the games are completely bland dogshit.  The music is definitely an acquired taste and doesn't have strong melodies.

Monster rancher 4 (but not 3!)

Guilty Gear: X2 or XX accent core; avoid all others, especially isuka.

Those are the only reasons to own a ps2.

EDIT: I made a terrible mistake.

I forgot Katamari Damacy (and it's sequel) and Soul Calibur 3. (but beware of the memory card bug.)

that brings the total number of good games for the ps2 to a whopping 6.  :dance:

Man, I will never understand fanboys. You convince yourself everything but Nintendo sucks, and because of that you miss out on an extreme amount of great games.

If you paid any attention to my posts at all, you would realize how mistaken you are.

Edit: And I find it funny that someone who uses a ps2 as an icon is calling me a fanboy.  :roll:

Maybe because some people don't find those games to be great?

It is too a Star Wars game, otherwise it wouldn't be called "Rogue-something".

Sometimes it doesn't want to read. I'll plug it in and the console doesn't recognize it. I have to jiggle it in the gamecube and stuff. I had a psx one with that problem too. Maybe I just got some bad ones, idk.

So you went sequentially for 4 numbers, skipped over 1 and again went sequentially for 2 more numbers, then jumped back 3 and subtracted 1 so you could go sequentially again for 3 numbers only to skip over 1 so you could go to the next number in sequence only to subtract 1.
