"The Worst Foe Lies Within the Self"

Another day, another parody of Kanye's incident. There's plenty of those flying around and frankly, I think that it's going to last a few more weeks before it dies. References will always come up here and there, they usually do when some type of event like this happens. Or just any big event in general, just take a look at Michael Jackson's death. Ever since that time, more mysteries surrounding him have popped up and more and more media have taken on it. He was all over the news for an absolutely long time, but it's also because of his reputation, that's why it had gone on for so long.

Memories of the past came up for me today, a game that I very well enjoyed during the first Playstation era. Parasite Eve. I began watching the playthrough today on youtube and it sure brought back nice memories from the time that I did play it. At the time the graphics were really nice for a new age console, but compared to what we're pulling out today, it looked really bad. Most people argue gameplay over graphics, I'd like both to be fairly equal with each other. I'd like to enjoy what I'm playing, but I'd also like to enjoy what it is I'm looking at. Either way, it was an excellent game. It was rated M, but had nice RPG elements implemented into it which I thought was a little more interesting for it. Even though the battle style was somewhat turn based like Final Fantasy games, I was still quite the little chicken when it comes to playing any game that's horror, no matter how it's made. I guess you could say that the atmosphere of the game and it's music is what gave me the chills. Squaresoft did an amazing job with it. Actually, Squaresoft made a lot of great games, when it joined up with Enix, the quality of the games they were making weren't so great to me. The storyline was more along the lines of science, what with mitochondria taking over our bodies and whatnot. Music composition was lovable, and the intro movie before game start was amazing.
