Wondering if I should get it for the PS2 or for PC? The PC versions looks and seems better, but I'm not sure if it will run on Windows 7... Do any of you know?

I was bidding for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night yesterday, but someone snatched it up at the very last second. Bidding had already gone up to $100, so I thought that was kinda steep... Maybe I'll have to see if I can find it and play it on an emulator or something.

Just ordered Nightmare Creatures, by the way, so that's another one secured.


Holy moly? I just bought SoTN for $10 for PS1. Is it the Saturn version that goes for that much?

No, unfortunately it's the PS1 version. You hardly ever find them for sale here (in PAL version, that is). Two of them just sold: the one I was talking about in very good condition for about $100 and prior to that a limited edition (with the soundtrack included) in not too great condition for about $125. You can get the NTSC version for a bit less over here (though not much less, although they tend to be new) but unfortunately my PS2 doesn't do NTSC :(

I wanted to help out a little bit with this. Here are a couple of entries I don't believe were listed yet:

PlayStation

Rampage World Tour - one of the playable characters is Ralph the Werewolf
Suikoden II - Features a werewolf character, though good luck with the price.
Darkstone - Europe only saw this on PS1 I believe. Mages can learn to turn into werewolves.

PlayStation 2

Rampage: Total Destruction - Ralph the Werewolf returns
Underworld: The Eternal War - Based on the Underworld franchise, you'll be primarily fighting werewolves

PC

The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery - Gabriel Knight hunts a werewolf. It's from the mid-90s, so getting it to run might be difficult on modern computers.
Discworld Noir - Also saw release on PlayStation, this game features a main character who becomes a werewolf part-way through.
Silverfall - Nature Mages can gain the ability to transform into werewolves.


This sure helps :D Those PS2 games I own already and as Rampage World Tour is included as a bonus on Total Destruction, I don't think I'll be buying that unless it comes dirt cheap. Darkstone and Suikoden sound interesting, but Suikoden is indeed very expensive (more than $200 over here, folks...). I was wondering if the same character returns in the later Suikodens (they go up to part 5, I noticed), because they can be found for about $15? Does anyone happen to know?

Gabriel Knight I have on PC and Discworld Noir too, but It doesn't seem to be very easy to get them to run on my windows 7 :( Didn't know that Discworld Noir was also on PS, so I'll have a look if I can find that for a reasonable price.

Thanks everyone!

The GOG version is updated to work on modern systems like Windows 7 and it's only $5.99

I just managed to install and play Discworld Noir on my pc thanks to a simple patch. Rejoice! Gabriel Knight proves to be a lot more difficult, so I think I'll go for the GOG-way.
