Square's Greatest Hits

According to the Official Playstation Blog, which has just received a complete visual make-over, Parasite Eve will be releasing on PSN this coming Tuesday for $5.99. Which is a nice discount since the PS1 Final Fantasy's from the same generation are listed at $9.99.

Parasite Eve on PSN before 3rd Birthday

The original Parasite Eve was one of my favorite games on the old PS1. I don't hear enough about it from gamers nowadays though, but I think the gameplay even holds up with today's RPG releases.

Square-Enix may be making every single one of their franchises action oriented for the twitch gamers out there (Thanks Call of Duty! You're awesome) but believe it or not, they used to be known for their RPG elements. I didn't enjoy Parasite Eve 2 very much, they took out all the things that I loved about the first one. Parasite Eve had a very intriguing story, customizable weapons and equipment, excellent music, an equally excellent battle system, and some truly amazing CG scenes for it's time. The second one didn't really keep my attention for long.
