<WRAP img_fill>{{:video_games:star_ocean_second_story_banner.jpg?direct}}</WRAP>\\
Square-Enix shocked the world when they decided to bring back the Star Ocean series with not only a new entry, but a remaster of the fan favorite release Star Ocean: The Second Story. When creating this site I had a feeling it would be a little RPG heavy, but this game was not on my to do list. Now with three distinct releases across multiple platforms here we are.

The Definitive Version of Resident Evil is the Director’s Cut [Dual Shock] release for Playstation from 1998. One of the main changes from the original was the fact that the Dual Shock controller added a vibration function that truly adds to the excitement of this horror classic. Another major difference in this release, which, arguably contributed to a better, more immersive gameplay experience, was the new soundtrack, which gave the game a noticeably scarier, goth-type of feel to the game, as opposed to the original music which sounded more “electrical” and video-game like at the time. This Definitive Version is not necessarily perfect, but overall, you will have the most balanced and authentic horror game experience with this release.
