Misleading, these aren't developed or published by Square or Enix, just owned after SE acquired Crystal Dynamic/Eidos/Etc

Chrono4652d ago

Square Enix is now responsible for publishing them digitally.

MaxXAttaxX4652d ago

True. They're not exactly Square games.

So anyways, is this just for Europe?

Minimox164652d ago

good question, it's only for Europe or all regions?

limewax4652d ago

I don't know entirely, but in UK the discount is active. If it isn't in US by tomorrow then its likely UK only

eddvdm4652d ago

was this acquisition recent? Because if it wasn't just shows how EA-like Sq/Enix can be, lowering prices only when a game is selling 1 per month (after $hutting down its $erver$) =/

in the beginning of the article;

"Square Enix Ltd. has announced an official and permanent price-cut for a number of Eidos titles on PlayStation Network."

there!

Troll-without-Bridge4652d ago

Square is the one who decides upon these titles now. Pricing in this case.

hazelamy4652d ago

about bloody time, 8 quid for a single disc ps1 game was ridiculous.
let's see if they price new single disc games at the lower price or if they'll go back to 8 quid.

and now scee have given them a way to publish ps1 games that were never available in europe on the eu store they better get parasite eve out here pretty damn sharpish.

The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.

SimpleSlave30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.

A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.

The_Hooligan29d ago

IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.

SimpleSlave29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.

But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.

But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.

MEGANE29d ago

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

SimpleSlave29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

🧛🔥🔥 🔥

anast29d ago

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos29d ago

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.

Relientk7729d ago

I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9565d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro65d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot65d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist64d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx65d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188165d ago (Edited 65d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9565d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist65d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp65d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg65d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion65d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
