Deserves a stronger place as the Capcom game which inspired Resident Evil as well as many other horror games in the future.
One of those curio games worth seeing.
This is a rather unique situation. This licensed game came out as soon as the movie it's based on hit theaters in Japan. At one point the original Resident Evil was going to be a remake of this Famicom game. It's mind blowing considering a lot of Capcom games brought back in recent years. Somehow Sweet Home still isn't available on modern platforms. It's an survival horror RPG game with a couple playable characters. If a character dies they stay dead. It's safe to say there's a lot of creativity within the game play. The audio as a whole truly amazing stuff. We wouldn't have Resident Evil series without this!!! I strongly felt what possibly the greatest horror NES game deserves to come back in the near future.

King Arthur: Knight's TaleKing Arthur: Knights Tale mixes an XCOM-style turn-based battle system with traditional RPG mechanics, including character development, choices that impact the direction of your campaign, and upgrading your home base of Camelot.
The story follows Sir Mordred, who travels with a band of knights across Avalon in search of King Arthur. This is already an interesting twist on the classic legend, as Sir Mordred is King Arthur's nemesis, traditionally shown as the king's traitorous nephew.
In this version of the tale, Mordred has actually mortally wounded Arthur, and is now stalking him through the isle of Avalon to finish the job on command of The Lady of the Lake.Fantasy Historical

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is an action-adventure game and a sequel to the 2010 game, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and the 35th installment on the Castlevania franchise. The game was developed by MercurySteam and published by Konami. This is MercurySteam's last contribution to the franchise. The story is set in both medieval and modern worlds.
As in the previous game, the player controls Gabriel Belmont, now known as Dracula, as he fights through an open world. During the game's opening sequence the player is able to control Dracula while he still possesses all his powers as well as all of his weapons. Dracula's main weapon is his Blood Whip, a weapon that is comparable to the Combat Cross from the original Lords of Shadow. Replacing the magic system from the previous game are the Void Sword and the Chaos Claws. The Void Sword can replenish Dracula's health when used while the Chaos Claws can be used to break through enemy defenses and deliver powerful attacks. The story mode in Lords of Shadow 2 has been stated to be far longer than the previous one. The game is mainly an open world allowing the player to choose what route to take. This game also features a movable camera, something that was not available in the first Lords of Shadow game.Open world Action Fantasy Horror
