Latest in my series of games I never finished back in the day, but am endeavouring to do so now is Second Sight on the PS2. An underrated gem by Free Radical Design (famous for the TimeSplitters series). It’s a dual timeline mix of stealth and third-person shooter with myriad psychic abilities like telekinesis and projection.

I previously got stuck on the penultimate level when being attacked by four psionic bad guys with double health bars…managed it first time 20 years later.

Still some frustrating parts and I miss modern stealth indicators like cones of vision etc (one level took me 2 hours), but the story is brilliant and despite looking pretty old the art still has its charm.

The box art for the PS2 version of Second Sight. It is a man with a shaved head in his hands, one of them holding a pistol; underneath is the game title. By Free Radical Design and published by Codemasters.
A screenshot for Second Sight on the PS2. The protagonist, John, is bare from the waist up with bandages around his chest and arm. He is in a hospital ward and is holding up some machinery using telekinesis.

I may have mentioned this before, but I'm not much into racing games. There are some exceptions though...
While browsing my PSP games earlier, I stumbled upon Burnout - Dominator. I played maybe half an hour, but it's just as fun as I remember. I loved the #Burnout games on the PS2 and PSP. 🤩
People seem to really like Burnout Paradise, but I never managed to put more than a few minutes into it. I found the open world an absolute chore to navigate. I somehow prefer to select my events from a menu. 😅

🕶️ A view of its UI with on the main screen, a bird's eye view of the game area with pixel art graphics, and in the center me ("goupil") facing a Seagull on an island with palm trees to the east. Top left is our stats, bottom left is system messages, bottom right is command icons, top right is available spells. 📚️ Isleward is a libre and multi-platform (Linux desktop client, mobile, web) Dungeon Crawler MMORPG. The game is based around forming a group and exploring different islands, prospecting and completing dungeons in search of treasure. Strengthening your character through looting better equipment and leveling up is also an integral part of the process. It offers 3 character classes with very fine characteristics and with a progression following a skill tree. You can pick up lots of things, craft them and even trade them between players (not tested). The bestiary is quite varied, the gameplay is excellent and rather difficult, the graphics are adorable and there are some sound effects. The big "+" is of course to be able to fight monsters with friends. Moreover it is moddable. Excellent!

I just finished #Castlevania Dracula X (again), a game that I played as a kid.

Contrary to other games I've revisited in the recent past, this came without any muscle memory. This game is haaaaard. And I don't think I ever really got good at it, even though I remember finishing it as a kid and even seeing all the possible endings. 😅

But it's also a fun game and infinite continues make this absolutely playable even if you're not using savestates like crazy.

Fun fact: I played this game as Castlevania - Vampire's Kiss on the SNES first. Years later, I bought Castlevania - Dracula X for the PSP, without knowing that it was a 2.5D remake of the same game. The remake has a slightly different opening, with a prologue where Richter fights Death, while riding a carriage through the woods. But eventually it dawned on me that I was playing the same game I had played almost a decade earlier.

More fun facts: the PSP remake had the original and Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (the whole f-ing game!!!) hidden as easter eggs. This is how I first came to play Symphony of the Night. I don't think I ever beat the remake on PSP, but i played the shit out of SotN. 😁

Now, I'll watch a speedrun to figure out how to really play this game. 😅

I may have just started and abandoned #WarioLand 2 over the course of a 30 minute session. 😅
I played this as a kid and it tickled me when it came up when I was scrolling through the ROMs on my Vita. But it's either not as fun as I remember or I'm in the wrong mood for it. 😩
I don't think I'll come back anytime soon, if at all...
I also don't feel like playing Rocket Knight Adventures again.

I did it! 💪 Alien 3 (GameBoy) is down.
And in one life even. Sadly RetroAchievements don't care about "one life", but they do care about the inmates. I really have no idea how to keep all 50 of them alive through this random mess. I thought maybe ten or so died, but game says 20/50 survived. 😬
Well... I guess it's better than the movie. I think maybe three people survive Fiorina 161? 🤔

The title screen for Alien 3 showing a menacing and surprisingly detailed Xenomorph head overlaid with the game's title.
The final mission score, mostly proving that I did kill the Queen and left the planet successfully. And with 3 tries remaining on top. The final score is 332300 -- although who really cares about that?
