A new edition of Monday’s Retro Corner Review is up, and we focus on the PS1 port of Doom. During the 90s the classic PC FPS go ported to death to every possible console that could run it in some form. The Super NES and Sega Genesis 32X addon saw ports on its platforms, despite the limited tech each one had. The infamous series would see its license continue to appear on the Game Boy Advance and of course Xbox Live Arcade years later. Its clear Doom had made a legacy as its the reason the series is the grandfather of genre. The latest entries might not have set the genre on fire even as current releases. However, the latest entries don’t need to innovate as much as provide quality gameplay and level design.
The PS1 port itself is a combination between Ultimate Doom and its sequel. However, the biggest thing this version often gets noted for is the horror style theme. It makes me wonder why Id never went for the horror theme originally when such an idea has worked before in science fiction. I guess they redeemed that thought with this port because it was a great start. Thanks to their work on PS1 and developing Quake, they would do an even better job with Doom 64. I already reviewed Nintendo's own two years ago and if you want to read up on it then click here Doom 64 Review. I’m sure many will wonder how much this version has aged especially when fans have created mods like Brutal Doom. So how well has the vanilla game aged even compared to Doom 64? Doom (PS1) Review

A new edition of Retro Corner is up and even though Halloween is over I still have one more horror game to review. In this edition we look at Resident Evil 3 on PS1 and find out why it’s such a great closing to a trilogy. During the Fifth Gen, we would see a boom of the survival horror genre take off. Capcom obviously took lead in this as not only did they produce Resident Evil but other horror styles games. Clock Tower and Dino Crisis were their other horror titles, and both had different styles compared to RE. Dino Crisis was the closet to its sister series then Clock Tower was as the features had similar third-person shooter mechanics. It’s no wonder why Capcom are somewhat pioneers for this genre as that all began with Sweet Home on the Famicom. Then the genre took off in the late 90s with Resident Evil which got inspiration from Sweet Home. Now with RE3 having modern gameplay mechanics and features how well has it aged compared to later entries? I also have some news to talk about regarding a schedule for uploading my reviews and articles. Starting next week, Retro Corner Reviews will get posted on Mondays every two weeks of the month. Of course, next week will not have any uploads for Retro Corner Reviews since I am posting this today. Modern Gaming Reviews will see uploads on Thursdays and Gaming Entertainment will be up on Saturdays every two weeks of the month. Even though it has been a while since I posted a new edition of Retro Arena. However, starting in the end of November they will be feature on the last Friday of the month. For other articles like Pony Media, The Equestrian Blog or Retro’s Blog will depend on the topic and if something non-MLP related gets released. Articles like these will get posted on Wednesdays of the third week of the month on a bi-monthly basis. Alicorn Reviews will also see an upload sparingly on Wednesdays considering I need to catch up on Equestria Girls and the Main Show's important episodes. As of now there are no scheduled plans for Horror Gaming since it’s not often, I review horror fan fictions. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Review |
