XBLA’S Most Wanted: Dino Crisis

XBLA’S Most Wanted: Dino Crisis

During the peak of the original PlayStation, legendary game designer Shinji Mikami rose to fame by creating several classic franchises. First in 1996, Mr. Mikami created Resident Evil, and with it, the entire survival horror genre that we know and love today. A few years later in 1999, Mikami created his second survival horror franchise; Dino Crisis. While not quite as commercially successful as its older sibling, Dino Crisis and it’s sequel Dino Crisis 2 were both met with praise from the media and the growing survival horror fan base.

Starring a leather clad red head named Regina, Dino Crisis swapped mindless zombies for everyone’s childhood wonder: Dinosaurs! Players were now struggling to survive in a world that has been overrun by one of the mightiest and most vicious species to ever walk the Earth. Dino Crisis took the survival horror formula, and turned it up a notch by making the enemies deadlier, trading the narrow corridors of a mansion for a facility deep inside the jungle. What could be scarier and more heart pounding than trying to survive a dinosaur infested jungle?

Deadliest Warrior Legends DLC guide: Joan of Arc

By  •  Guides

Deadliest Warrior: Legends quick facts:

  • Joan left her peasant life at age 17 to lead France against England in the Hundred Years’ War. Her goal was to reclaim the French throne for the Dauphin (rightful heir) Charles, Count of Ponthieu.
  • Joan always admitted to being a girl. But, she was told she must take the dress and weapons of a knight to be successful in convincing the Dauphan to give her what she needed, so she dressed as a man.
  • Charles tried to trick Joan by dressing as a commoner. She went to him without hesitation. Believing she had divine assistance he gave her horse, armor, sword, and put her at the head of an army.
  • The English hid when Joan arrived at Orleans. On the 4th day another general attacked the English and was losing badly. Joan rode in waving her banner and rallied the French who routed the enemy.
  • Though badly wounded, Joan led a second charge against the English to drive them from Orleans. She followed this victory by reclaiming the royal seat at Rheims. Charles was anointed King Charles VII.
  • Joan stayed on as a general in Charles’ army, and was captured by the English within a year. They tried her as a heretic and burned her alive in Rouen. 25 years later her conviction was overturned.
