Yes, I enjoy Power Stone 1 much better then 2. There were more characters, but they took away moves, most importantly your downward kick. With four players on the screen at once, the camera can pan way out and make it almost impossible to see what you are doing. Finally, the stages move around too much making it less enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, Power Stone 2 can be a fun 4 player game, but as far as quality is concerned, the first is by far better and more polished.
Thanks! Wait, I reviewed three games so I'm not sure which is your favorite. Although one could assume they all could be your favorite. But you do say one so it can't be all three. I think you'd probably like Power Stone the best. Hmmmm, but I don't know that for sure. I mean maybe you do, but at the same time you might like Mega Turrican better for it's run n' gun style gameplay. Of course Strider 2 is more of a hack n' slash so it could be your favorite. Whew, see what you made me do! :)
A very interesting show you have created. This is the first episode I've watched as it was advertised per say on Screw Attack. Good job. I'm not feeling 100% today and it was nice to watch something entertaining to get me through the night.
Thank you very much! Your support motivates us to keep going. (I'm working on some new graphics for episode 8 as we speak!) Hopefully the end product will be worth the wait. :) Have a good one!
Oh me oh my, that's quite a bad game there. It was developed by Tiertex and published by U.S. Gold. It may look like a Strider game in screen shots, but it is far from it. Capcom had nothing to do with this game, and it shows. From the poor sword animation idea, to the grating music and sound, it does the Strider series a disservice.
Good point. To tell you the truth, I never knew much about the Amiga version of the game, and the fact that Turrican 3 is what Mega Turrican is based from is an interesting tidbit of information. I never even knew that. The teacher is now the student. :)
Fantastic reviews! I am interesed in all of those games, I'll see what I can get my hands (or mouse arrow thing) on! The way you can describe stuff, you have a gift for it! Thanks, and as always, good video! ALSO: LOVE the reference to a certain amazing game series (particularly the 2nd one) at the end. :D
Wait...if memory serves it was the second one...something like that, sorry if I forgot, but yeah I got the reference which is all that matters, and nice job again!
Never played Turrican, but I love me some Strider 2 and Power Stone. Capcom actually expressed intrest in another Strider game, and with the success of Bionic Commando/MegaMan/StreetFighter, I think they realize 2d CAN sell when its made by real fans who love the product. Now I wish they would do Power Stone 3 one day.
This is a great Christmas present. I hope you're doing alright man, and that you're Christmas was as great as mine.
I loved Power Stone back in the Dreamcast days. It's been nearly a decade since I played it, but once I did. I couldn't put it down. It was that great.
"A Winged Girl with a crystal spear".
I hope it's going to be what I think it's going to be.
doesn't the art style of power stone remind you of that new fighting game you reviewed in your latest episode?
they both have like a cartoon like look

Do you like Power Stone 1 better then 2? 2 looked like it was the same except more awesome and had more characters, stages, and weapons.

first game: i like the whole look of the game though i dont think the vomit of a bowl of lucky charms doesnt sound that tasty..
second game: ive been looking for that game, but i havent found it yet, though i did find final fantasy 9
third game: this game made me wish i owned a dreamcast.
oh and i sent you a message mind responding to it when you can
other then that good review!

You should have talked about Turrican 1 and 2, 2 of The very best Amiga games, much better than the contra and metroid games of the time.
Chris Huelsbeck also rules.

I do understand the Contra comparison, but what the heck does Turrican have to do with Metroid?

It uses a morph ball that allows you to set bombs much like Metroid.

No no no no, it's clearly 'Corps'. You have Left 4 Dead on the brain. :-)

Nah, I was referring to the pronunciation of "Corps", since it's a play on words with Contra: Hard Corps anyway.

Ah, I see. I just figured you were Left 4 Dead loco. Though a zombie game called "Contra Hard Corpse" would be some bloody good fun.
