Replay – Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

In this week's replay, we explore the humble (and kind of sluggish) beginnings to a long-forgotten franchise that once held a special place in our hearts. Join me, Andrew Reiner, Ben Reeves, and Joe Juba as we boot up the PlayStation action-RPG Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. And as always, stay tuned after we move on from our Kain discussion for a bonus Replay Roulette with a slightly less memorable PS1 game from GI's vault.

If you enjoyed that blast from the past and want to check out more Game Informer Replay videos, be sure to visit our hub page and enjoy reliving the memories.

Comments
  • I'd love to see the original Clock Tower.  Or maybe Fear Effect.

  • This game was legendary.

  • Interesting choice this week and enjoyed the Roulette too. How bout NiGHTS into Dreams or Tomba! next week?
  • i never got very far, I always got lost and gave up!  I kind of enjoyed the Soul Reaver series a little more.

  • Would you guys please do the original Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy VII, Tomb Raider, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Oddworld: Abe's Odyssee, Jet Grind Radio, Crazy Taxi, PaRappa The Rapper, or Conker's Bad Fur Day

  • Good episode guys.

  • These game were great, i like the last one they did the best

  • NIce replay.

  • Would it be possible to make a fun game where you run instead of drive a car?  Was Running Wild just badly made?  I'd hate to think we're restricted to driving cars in our racing games for the rest of forever.

    You guys should play the original Lego Racers.

  • Excellent replay.

  • good replay but if your doing psone replays do ff8,9 because those games withstood time better than any ps one exclusive

  • Suggestions: Perfect Dark, Sonic And Knuckles, Super Smash Bros. (original), Super Mario 64, Street Fighter (1 and 2), and maybe the 1st Ratchet and Clank or Jak and Daxter.

    I love Replay, as u can see.

  • I'd easily put the Blood Omen/Legacy of Kain lines in my top five of game series I want to see return.  The storytelling was top notch, the voice acting was among the best in any game series of its time (perhaps 2nd only to the Metal Gear Solid series) and while all of the games seemed to have some level of quality issues/glitches, they were still fun games to play.

    Please give us a new game in this series!

  • I love legacy of kain...

  • @Andrew Reiner

    Are you also going to bounce Armored Core off the staff?

  • Some really awesome suggestions in here! Keep 'em coming, folks. Always good to know what the audience wants to see. :)

  • PLAY RESIDENT EVIL

  • I hate asking for it because its my user name but I must see an episode of Shatterhand for the NES. Get Tim Turi to play it as it is very similar to Mega Man.

    Also, I just made a new blog about my Top 10 NES intros. Go check it out and know that I wouldn't mind a Replay of every one of those games starting with #1 and going down.

    And finally, I must request yet again a Replay of Robocop vs. Terminator. I mean it is a game starring Robocop fighting the Terminator!

  • YES, I WOULD LOVE A NEW ONE FOR PS3/360.  WE NEED MORE GOTHIC ART FANTASY GAMES.....(THROW IN A NEW 'NIGHTMARE CREATURES' AS WELL).....

  • I was hooked on the Legend of Kain series. I played through them all a couple of times. Wish they would've kept them going.
