Siren: Blood Curse (aka "New Translation")

Postby Bobtheduck » Wed Sep 03, 2008 4:00 am

SO... While I wait for the next Silent Hill, I've been trying to get into the newest installment in the Siren series, known as Blood Curse in the US and New Translation in Japan.

I played the demo, and really dug it. I'd played the old siren, and frankly it was too hard and frustrating for me. Well, when I got the game, it ended up that... THIS one is still too hard and frustrating, but since I bought it, I've been slowly working my way through it.

Any PS3 owners picked this up? It's probably the most difficult survival horror game I've ever played, except of course for the FIRST Siren... It's kind of a mix of stealth and survival horror, but I'd say it stacks up to Silent Hill and the old Resident Evil games in the Horror genre (as opposed to the "horror themed action genre" that RE4 and 5 are)

I'm gonna have a full video review up on my youtube page soon...

So, I beat the game a couple weeks ago. The end was less Silent Hill and more Earthbound meets Resident Evil... Or something... Really weird... The last Battle took place in what was essentially a giant kaleidoscope...

Still think it's worth checking out for PS3 owners who like horror, but maybe wait and see if we get a bluray release, because downloading this game isn't good... You can't share it with friends and it takes up too much space.

I seen a few images of those games, not so sure if I'll try it at the moment given FEAR 2 Project Origin and Aliens Colonial Marines will be coming out soon. It does look interesting though.
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
