Have a long year's worth of platforming, adventure, strategy, RPG, and FPS titles got you worn down? Well kick back this December and enjoy some short, fast-paced shmups across a variety of platforms. This shmup month shouldn't be a surprise to most of you on the site, since this September, participants were asked which retro and modern titles they would most like to play in December. Retro participants even voted on these suggestions. Now it's time to put your money where your mouth vote was, grab the sticks, and show off those trusty *pew* *pew* skills.
Join RFGeneration Community Playthrough hosts, Rich (singlebanana), Jamie (techwizard), Floyd (Fleach), and Shawn (GrayGhost81) as we discuss October's spooky retro and modern playthroughs. In this episode, singlebanana, Grayghost81, and techwizard discuss arguably the greatest platformer (and possibly greatest game) ever released on the PSX, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. On the modern side, join Grayghost81, Fleach, and special guest, Disposed Hero, as they discuss the horrifying and complex narrative of the XBox360 and PC title, Alan Wake. Enjoy!
