Vandal Hearts

While I try to play a variety of genres and styles of video games,
there are, as you may imagine, ones I like way more than others.

One of my absolute favourites when looking at "Pre-HD" gaming,
is definitely the big and fascinating genre of role playing games.

I love getting lost in a fantastical world, see stories and characters
impossible to exist in our mundane and boring reality, do things and
learn all sorts of abilities to get out of troubles or sometimes, cause them,
seeing different cultures and being able to enjoy amazing soundtracks.

And on top of that, RPGs can be done in a myriad of ways, which are separated
into sub-genres or styles that radically change how they play, look or even feel.
Turns or Action, Japanese or Occidental influences, First or Third person, 
some centered around the gameplay, others more interested in tell a story,
and, of course, you then have mixtures of RPG and other genres.

Looking at one game to start the PlayStation entries, 
I knew very well what game to choose beforehand.

It's quite underrated, and also one of my most liked ones from this library.

It's Vandal Hearts.

Bubble Ghost

Looking around the early Game Boy library for a first game to talk,
my first thought was to get one of those Puzzle games that were 
oh so popular in the initial moments of life of the gaming brick.

But checking around my personal favourite early GB games,
there was one little thing that stuck out to me immediately,
a charming, quick and fun tiny arcade-like experience.

While the time for the endless Puzzle games will come,
let's enjoy this first cool little thing named Bubble Ghost.
