Gotta tell ya, I didn't know Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was so popular. I played it for the first time the month and thought I liked it enough, but some of you worship it like Special K!

If you never played it back in '99, Soul Reaver is a little Zelda-ish. Some action, some puzzle solving, a dash of metroidvania. You play as a dude that got killed and is brought back for revenge, and you regularly swap between the physical and spirit realms to solve puzzles and kick ass. It's a little cryptic and confusing at times, and it definitely has a PSOne camera, but I liked it.

My buddy Daniel just finished his first run through Soul Reaver as well, so he gave me an early morning call to talk about it. We both gave it decent scores, but I feel like we were a little harder on it than I expected it be. Have a listen and see what you think, why dontcha?

And before we Reav some Souls, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if there's any gaming franchises out there that have never fucked up? What's an average day in the world of Adam Blank like? And would I ever do another episode where I'm playing the game while we review it?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 PSOne adventure games: Tomb Raider, Parasite Eve, and Dino Crisis.
