Story:Time refuses to forget the Belmont family's horrifying, bloody destiny. And in 1917 two of its descendants are summoned by fate into epic battle. Their enemy? The most evil incarnation of Castlevania legacy to ever rise from the grave, the vampiress Countess Bartley. This spine-tingling, 6-stage fear-fest overflows with graphic sights and sounds from your worst nightmares. As John Morris, the whip wielding vampire hunter, or Eric Lecarde, master lanceman, you'll pursue the demonic Countess all across Europe before she resurrects Dracula for a final reign of global terror. Alas, her trail of doom is laden with zombies, hideous mutants, grotesque giants, ghouls and ghastly creatures. Taste the sweat dripping into your mouth as you try rescuing yourself from diabolical traps. Feel the torturous strain on every muscle as you wield again and again sacred weapon power-ups such as Holy Water, the Battle Axe, the Crystal Blade Boomerang and the Mirror of Truth. But in the end, make sure you've saved enough strength to scream!Show more

This might come as a huge surprise. Castlevania: Bloodlines was my favorite Castlevania game within Castlevania Anniversary Collection. Not because it's the solo Sega Castlevania game I'm not that bias. No because what it brought to the table. You get to play as two hunters. John Morris whose essentially the Belmont in the game. Eric Lecarde has the Alucard Spear. Personally I prefer playing as Eric more. He gets a longer reach that's helpful. Also he gets this awesome high jump as well. I'm not saying John sucks by any means. It just the typical Belmont experience when you're him. I actually liked we get to explore through the country. Eventually working our way into Dracula's castle. Yes they did try bringing two canons together. Castlevania canon with that of Dracula novel canon that strikingly works. This is among the goriest classic Castlevania games. Which can differ on that depending on region versions. Some of the visuals late into the game fantastic work. It's sorta like a particular stage in Rocket Knight Adventures also by Konami. What I love about this is unlike most classic Castlevania games. There isn't an timer meaning I can take longer to get through the stages. The artwork is truly amazing. The audio as a whole beautifully done. This game is between overlooked simply by other Castlevania games or not a lot of people knows of it's existence. I hope Castlevania Anniversary Collection and Sega Genesis Mini 1 fixed that problem. Some of my favorite versions for the bosses. Mostly The Creature actually is my favorite version of the character. The last stage you gotta bring it to beat the game. It's a shame this was the only solo Sega Castlevania game. Yes I know about Sega Saturn port of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Not quite the same thing here. Some even argue this is way better than that port.

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future
Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the FutureAt the dawn of the 30th Century, dolphins and humans had been together in a cross-species society for 500 years. Together, they had set out to explore space, offering peace and friendship to all who would welcome it. But space had its dangers; a violent species known as the Foe decided to conquer Earth. However, the dolphins and humans drove them to the brink of defeat, and so the Foe sought vengeance on Earth. The few caretaker dolphins who had been left behind on Earth were not entirely defenseless; they were protected by their creation called the Guardian—a gigantic, sentient being made of a crystalline substance which projected a forcefield over the entire planet. Undeterred, the Foe made suicide attacks on the field, searching for a weak point.

Rayman 3 HD
Rayman 3 HDRayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is the third major game in the Rayman series, and the sequel to Rayman 2. Rayman 3 was released in 2003. Like its immediate predecessor, it is a 3D platformer. However, Rayman 3's levels are more straightfoward and oriented towards action and combat rather than platforming and exploration. The main campaign of Rayman 3 is temporally linear – unlike the previous games, where Rayman could physically return to completed locations, each Rayman 3 level is visited only once within the storyline. The overall reception of the game was poorer than that of Rayman 2. It is notable for being the first Rayman game not directed by series creator Michel Ancel, who was occupied with the development of Beyond Good & Evil at the time. Ancel played a small role in the development of Rayman 3, assisting the team in various areas (such as Rayman's new look) and meeting with them to brainstorm ideas for characters and environments. Rayman 3 features a points-based scoring system; another first for the series. Players could post their final scores on the then-new RaymanZone website. However, this function was disabled when RaymanZone was retooled to suit the Raving Rabbids games. In February 2009, members of the Rayman Pirate-Community contacted Ubisoft and successfully arranged for the creation of a new Hall of Fame.[1] In July 2011, the PC version of the game joined Rayman Forever and Rayman 2 on the digital distribution network Good Old Games. In March 2012, a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version titled Rayman 3 HD was released, with improved textures, framerate, lighting and audio quality.

Rayman 3
Rayman 3Just like its Game Boy predecessors, Rayman 3 is mostly a traditional side-scrolling platformer. The main goal is to reach the end of a level, but there are various items to collect which all count towards the 100% completion. Some of those items can only be collected by re-visiting the level with additional abilities which are learned during the course of the game. Additionally there are two 3D mini games involving jet skiing and kart racing.
