4. Silent Hill [PlayStation]

Aren't you like, the "horror guy"? How is this not something you've played/finished?

[Ack]

Oh, I've played it. I've just never beaten it, despite having beaten 0, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I actually did not have it in my collection for a long time, and while I acquired it in the last year or so, I had not gotten around to playing it. This will be a good incentive to finally do that though.

Oh, do we have to play these in order? Just wondering.

Oh, do we have to play these in order? Just wondering.

nope. nor do we need to play them one at a time

I think I know which part you're talking about...

Hint: Stairs. (if you're not at that part yet, this will still help you later)

Its the part were I have to help my fellow escapee in the vent, as well as drop a light fixture onto a guard from above. I can do both of these things, dealing with the 3 guards between them, but when I try to move on and a guard ambushes me and I drop my gun, I can't seem to grab it before he vaporizes me. Making me have to do it all over again.

I think I know what part you're talking about (it's the one part I had to look up a walkthrough for) and if it is the stairs are the key. I can elaborate with various levels of crypticism if you'd like.

[MrHealthy]

Sure I guess. But its not really a puzzle Im stuck on, but more a timing thing as I find the controls kinda slippery and I can't react fast enough.

I too will only have time for five games, anything else that's beaten is just a bonus. I'll be starting this on the 1st of June.

1. Secret of Mana (VC)
2. Final Fantasy IX (PSN)
3. Star Ocean: Second Evolution (PSP)
4. Shining Force
5. Bastion

Can you guys help me pick two games:

Bastion (Steam)
Dragon Quest: The Journey of the Cursed King (PS2)
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (PSP)
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (DS)
Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole (Steam)
Shadow Hearts: Covenant (PS2)
Shining Force (Steam)
Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call (PS2)
Tales of Eternia (PSP)
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (PSP)

[sabrage]

It's not really a timing thing. The key is the order you kill the enemies in.

@ Dsh, remember to save a separate file at the beginning of the Water Temple.
