A writer from the One More Level gaming blog remembers Square's classic fighting game for the PS1, Bushido Blade.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Loved that game, think I still have it somewhere.
Bushido Blade was the pioneer in bringing an ultra realistic approach to the fighting game genre. This game is a perfect representation of Squaresoft in their prime and at their best.
The best feature in Bushido Blade was the fact that one hit could kill you and you lose the match. If you get sliced anywhere in your limbs(arms,legs etc.), than that part of your body remains incapacitated.
As always, if you wish to re-live this classic, Bushido Blade can only be found on PlayStation. Playable on ALL PlayStation platforms.

Oh men, that game was something...
Kengo was very good too, more stuff to do, unlock and collect.
I miss those.
I have both Bushido Blade 1 and 2.
Still put 'em in once in a while to fight my brother and cousin. Awesome fun!
We need a new 1 though!!!
A HD remake would be a must buy for me.
