A writer from the One More Level gaming blog remembers Square's classic fighting game for the PS1, Bushido Blade.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
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.
