Starfox (snes)
Max Payne 2

I loved shadow of the beast..but i could never defeat the last boss

Project zero had a great into..really creepy..and the black and white section really set a nice tone of unimaginable terror for the rest of the game

The city holds many memories for me, of cafés, of music, of love...and of death."
