Triverse writes, "Yesterday, we took a look at the second game in the Harry Potter series, Chamber of Secrets, and discussed the various ports and their strengths/differences. Today, the original game, Sorcerer’s Stone/Philosopher’s Stone hit consoles, PC and portables. Though this time, we have a much more limited release schedule. PS2, Xbox and Gamecube versions are a good two years after this debut- it gets wild laying this out on a time line."

Funny, I was playing the Halo 2 campaign on hard last night, I forgot how hard that game was.
Triverse writes, "The Sega Master System (SMS) did not get a fair chance in North America due to Nintendo’s illegal policies. That has not stopped fans from supporting the console long after its commercial demise. Grail of the Gods (GotG) is one such new release for the SMS. If you are a fan of classic, some would say archaic, computer action role-playing games (RPG) then you might remember one called Sword of Fargoal, published by Epyx for the Commodore 64 and Vic-20 computers. If not, well, give Grail of the Gods a play and you will have pretty much played Sword of Fargoal."
Looks similar to Dragon Crystal. I used to have that back in the 90s. Tough game, I could never get very far in it.
Triverse writes, Fans of the venerable arcade fighting game series, Samurai Shodown, probably already know about the role-playing game (RPG) spin-off from the 90’s. That game is now available in English for the Neo Geo CD-ROM for the first time (I think it is the first time). Samurai Shodown RPG was also released on the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn around the same time, both inferior to the Neo Geo CD version in various ways (mostly animation)."
I didn't know this game even existed, but a turn based RPG of Samurai Showdown sounds lit!

It wasnt also called philosophers, it was originally called philosophers but for the American public they changed the title, some ppl say its because it may be a hard word to pronounce some ppl say other things i have no clue what reason it was, have the original books right here next to me in my book shelf not one has sorcerers on it.
I remember this game as a kid on PC. I think I still have it somewhere. I remember it being creepy as fuck or at least this guy (Peeves) gave me the creeps.
I really loved all these games when I was a kid. It really pisses me off that they completely fucked up 4,7,8. If they ever made a harry potter MMO, I would be there. I really need to install some of these games again and hook up my xbox to play these versions. I wonder if they are as I remember them. I really wish they would re-release the 1,2,3 console versions on PC, as they were the best. Maybe when it comes to the 10th anniversary I'll see something cool like that.
