What's Happening

Super Replay – Overblood 2

Our original plan for Super Replay was to give the best games of all time a lengthier treatment than our standard Replay episodes. I kicked things off with my favorite game ever, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. We continued with the classics by playing through Super Mario Bros. 3 and Resident Evil 2. However, things changed as soon as I picked an unassuming 1997 PSone title for our Replay Roulette during the Revolution X episode. We were so intrigued by what happened during the initial minutes of Overblood that we knew it needed to be the first obscure title to get its own Super Replay treatment. A year later, and the GI staff has Pipo t-shirts, the community has created remakes in Unreal and LittleBigPlanet, and we've watched (and participated in) the rise of an active Overblood/Replay fan group on Facebook. Now, it's time for us to play through Overblood 2.

The circumstances around this sequel are even more odd than our discovery of the original. Never released in the United States, Overblood 2 was widely reported to contain a game-breaking glitch that makes its completion impossible. Ignoring these warnings, we decided to order a UK version of the game off of eBay and try our luck. Can we finish the game, or will the bug result in our first-ever incomplete Super Replay? Will we see the return of Raz and Pipo? Can it possibly live up to the original? Watch below, and find out along with the Game Informer staff.

(Each episode will feature myself, Tim Turi, and Andrew Reiner, with a rotating cast of GI editors filling the fourth seat)

    EDIT: Great first episode. The game is pretty hilarious so far.

    EDIT: Ben is one of my favorite Replay guest. I hope he comes back for multiple episodes.

    EDIT: Bryan was pretty mean to Tim. Oh well... :-)

    EDIT: Classic Overblood with the gravity controller. Great episode as always.

    EDIT: Well, f**k you GI for that cruel joke. lol. The episodes have gotten better and better. Jim was very helpful and probably should be a regular. The "Spirreo" boss entrance and fight was the most hilarious thing in Super Replay history. :-)
