Retro Releases - Week of 3/14/11 - Birthday Girl

Hey, do you like mitochondria?


Nintendo Virtual Console:
No retro releases this week.

Sony Playstation Network:
Parasite Eve (Playstation, 1998)
Just in time for The 3rd Birthday, Square brings Parasite Eve to PSN. This action RPG stars NYPD rookie cop Aya Brea as she investigates a woman who causes people to spontaneously combust. With elements borrowed heavily from survival horror, this game was far different from anything else Square had attempted back in the day. Parasite Eve is available for $5.99 on PSN.




Xbox Live Arcade:
No retro releases this week.

  1. This game was the best! It took so long to get towards the end and meet Eve. I lost my save game and there was no way I would ever play through it again! The story line was so awesome! I hope SquareEnix decides to revisit it.

  2. The opening scene at the opera house was so great and horrific back then. I re-watched it now and the graphics are so cheesy, but back in '98 it was badass! :D
