Ultra is like a mix of the Asteroids arcade game...and crack. It's really adding, you wouldn't think a casual game can eat up a lot of your time but as you try to survive through the various stages and gain as high a score as possible, the hours will just melt away. Yo man...*scratches arm nervously* Can I get another ship?

Kind of par for the course for a Japanese game though. It would be weird if a Japanese game WASN'T weird. While this is a non-direct sequel to 2010's NieR, the game is actually part of the Drakengard series; a collection of games that share unique themes and gameplay features.

While it focuses its first person combat on long range sniper combat, much like Sniper 3, the gameplay is versatile to the point where you can be any kind of soldier you choose, just play smart. This third entrance into the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series does not hold your hand.

Games like Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid come to mind first, but, Driver 2 is easily my 3rd favorite PS1 game, behind those. It's just the perfect car game, great graphics, a gritty 1970s/80s cop drama setting, several different large cities to explore, and a ton of gameplay variety. Driver 2 is a trailblazer, a game far ahead of its time and system capabilities. A modern city sandbox for an old school console.

It's a beat em up, action RPG of sorts. In the game you play as King Regis, the father of the protagonist from the main game. He seems...kind of cooler than his son, and is definitely better at combat. Is it weird that I like this spin-off MORE than the actual Final Fantasy XV? No, no it's not.

It's a very simple game that has only three main actions, yet the difficulty gets insane and you have to have perfect timing to beat the levels. It's strangely like a rhythm game, very few buttons but you have to press them quickly and at the right time.

Be careful though, the difficulty can be pretty unforgiving. The game is based on a relatively short-lived mid 90s cartoon I used to watch on the...WB I think. It was often a very dark show, like a much darker version of the Superman cartoon, even the Batman cartoon.
