Spyro was definitely one of the best platform games of its time.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spyro the Dragon - Trailer - 1998\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DoCmdGpa6Kw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The Legacy of Kain<\/h3>\n<p>Although my childhood was filled with the colour and joy of Spyro and Crash Bandicoot, there was a darker series which I loved.<\/p>\n<p>The Legacy of Kain series was one of the darkest games on the PlayStation. Blood Omen saw you take the role of Kain the Vampire Lord, as you swept through lands of Nosgoth wreaking havoc in this hack and slash, Diablo-inspired game.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the PlayStation\u2019s lifecycle, the series returned with Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain. The game follows a demon vampire who was banished to the underworld and now exacts revenge on the one who killed him, Kain himself.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Legacy Of Kain Soul Reaver [trailer 2]\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9UukUztXxC8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Dino Crisis<\/h3>\n<p>This Resident Evil-inspired game gave us all nightmares and made us all look at Jurassic Park a little differently.<\/p>\n<p>Dino Crisis is\u00a0set on a remote island where all the human-hungry dinosaurs have gotten loose and now want to kill everyone. You play as Regina, a special forces agent sent to investigate the island.<\/p>\n<p>The game was filled with horror and some intense gunfights, from taking down a T-Rex through an office window to fighting off velociraptors in dark hallways.<\/p>\n<p>If anything, the current gen hardware would make for a great setting for a re-release of this great series, and the fact that there were three games in total, makes it worth a re-release.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dino Crisis 2 Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vsuwd8-Cc24?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Tombi<\/h3>\n<p>Who does not remember running around a land filled with pigs, biting them on their heads, and flipping them against walls? Tombi was everyone\u2019s favourite pink-haired mascot, and his adventure was nothing like we ever experienced before.<\/p>\n<p>The series saw us exploring lands taken over by the Evil Pigs, who resembled an element in the game. The Haunted Pig was found in a Haunted Woods, and Fire Pig was found in the volcano. You get what I am going on about here?<\/p>\n<p>What started off as a journey to get back his gold bracelet back from the evil pigs, soon turned out to be one awesome ride through the life of Tombi and his most unusual adventure to stop evil pigs.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tomba!

Tenchu had it all, from climbing buildings to sniping enemies from afar with a shuriken.<\/p>\n<p>When it came to Tenchu\u2019s close combat, the game had it nailed down, as the block and counter system was something that we had never experience before.<\/p>\n<p>Sure most of the time, we just spent the entire game running around and being all agile &#8211; but that\u00a0was half the fun. There was nothing like grappling up a building, and running from across rooftops\u00a0like Spider Man.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tenchu 2:  Birth of Stealth Assassins - Intro - PSX\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HiP3WujoXrE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Silent Hill<\/h3>\n<p>I know this is a long shot, given the series&#8217; past endeavors, but this is my dream list, so I want Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2 on PS4 in all glorious fog and indirect illumination glory.<\/p>\n<p>With the tech these days, imagine exploring that darn school with a torch and an axe, ready to take on all those little kids who\u00a0want to eat your soul.<\/p>\n<p>I say the game would make one kickass remaster, and seeing as we are not getting our dream Silent Hill titles, this has to happen.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Silent Hill 1 Trailer E3 1998\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fwan7k3nOzg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>What classic games would you like to see re-released on PS4?
