Yeah so I bought a Playstation 3 in January and ever since then not only have I been trying to keep up with the neverending tides of games coming out for it that I more want than need, I been relentlessly buying games that are from the past! I would consider myself a gamer of sorts, but only in the sense that I fit it in around university, part-time work, volutory work, and other things.
Recently I have been playing Siren Blood Curse, I was playing Heavenly Sword but got stuck on the final boss, and I have found it to be an intriging experience into the world of Japanese style horror that people have been going on about for years. I've never had much of an experience with survival horror games for the following reasons:
1. Money - Born in an age where all of the survival horror games were out when I was not nearly old enough to get a job to pay for them, which brings me to the next point.
2. Age - Even if I was able to somehow magically get the money to get survival horror games such as Silent Hill or even Siren 1, I wouldn't be old enough to buy them unless I tried the old tactic of buying a longcoat and standing on one of my friend's shoulders! (Note to self: tell children of this tactic)
But I digress, back to Siren Blood Curse. I won't try to give anything away if you were thinking about trying it out, but there is a flurry of different characters which have different levels of unlikeableness. I refuse to use the term likeableness to describe them as most of them are unlikeable, and if you are as sadistic as me you will take pleasure in watching them die. Whoops...
The "Sightjacking" in SBC is an interesting feature which allows you to look through the eyes of allies and enemies while you try to either find or avoid them. It is a bit rough around the edges but i believe that with more work, if they do make a third game in the series, I'm sure that this feature will make the series for many people.
Overall so far I am enjoying SBC, well up to chapter 9 anyway, and as for the ending I will have to see how the characters fare.
