Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (PS) ... cross between the Legend of Zelda and Castlevania, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain unleashes the darker side of the Playstation. Your character (Kain) is murdered at the beginning of the game, then resurrected in the form of a vampire so that he can exact revenge upon those who have wronged him. As you will quickly discover, revenge is a dish best served at body temperature. Since Kain is a vampire, the easiest way to keep him alive is to suck the blood of anything that stands in his way. After a few whacks with his sword, his victim strikes a Mortal Kombat-style "Finish Him" pose. This leaves you with a choice: he can either finish his prey off with one last slash, or bite into the hapless victim like a good vampire should. The graphics in Kain are great. Everything from the power bar to the blood spurting out of an unsuspecting villager looks terrific.

Survival is, as in 99% of games, the key to your success and moving through enemy-filled screens until some kind of goal (a village or a cave usually) is reached is also an integral part of the game. Delve a little deeper though, and you'll find Blood Omen to be one of the most ambitious PlayStation games ever created. Being a vampire, Kain reacts in various ways to different weather states and conditions. The developers ha...more

Now this one's going back a bit. Released in 1997 when the PlayStation was still in it's youth, Blood Omen has since become a bit of a cult-classic, but sadly has never found favour with the masses. The arrival of it's strangely popular sequel Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain in 1999 sent it sulking back to it's crypt, destined to be overshadowed by it's glossy-but-dull younger brother. Developed by Silicon Knights, Legacy of Kain is a half RPG, half hack 'en slash adventure with the action taking place being viewed from above (top-down). The story goes that Kain, a nobleman, stops by at a tavern one night, tired from his travels. Upon being ...

Like most of my games, I bought this one years ago, but it has to be my favourite Playstation game. The Storyline goes something like this: While travelling, you come to a place where the local inkeeper wont let you stay.

After doing this you then realise what cost your vengeance has cost you and you try and seek out the necromancer to try and kill him while increasing your power, magic and weaponary along the way.
