Game #3
One of the classics. I played the GameCube version as a kid, but I doubt I ever beat it. This was the PSX release, which was surprisingly still very fun and ambitious, despite theoretically being the "lite" version. I was impressed by how varied the gameplay was, even though the core loop is essentially just holding down the X button and moving around. As with all licensed titles, I am always amused by what adaptational choices they make in order to make the story more video-gamey. Easily the strangest addition here is the cupid sequence? Very odd. But the Deathday party is a good inclusion from the book, creates one of the more atmospheric levels in the game.
