"Let’s face it: we’ve all been there.
We’re all drawn so deeply into games that we form all sorts of different connections with the characters we watch and control. That attraction can be so deep that, in our young minds we wished these fantastic characters were real so we could get to know them better.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we thought we’d make this week’s Pixelitis Picks in line with the spirit of that widely-celebrated “Hallmark” holiday. Yep, a selection of videogame character crushes. We were kids!"

There are plenty of games that were released on the PS1 that deserved some kind of sequel or follow-up, yet never received another game.
The List there is not bad..but my top ten PS1 sequels would be:
Battle Arena Toshinden 5
New Parodius
New Bust A Groove
New Kensai: Sacred Fist
Bushido Blade 3
Xenogears 2
Biofreaks 2
Jumping Flash 4
Cardinal Syn 2
Tobal No. 3
There was actually at attempt at a new Hogs of War kickstarter last year, but it did really poorly and failed to make it's goal.
Actually there were a bunch of monopoly like board games on PS1 that i really enjoyed, like momotaro dentsetsu, dragon money etc.
wish someone would make more of these games
In this revealing interview, you'll have the chance to meet Richard Divizio, the original actor behind some of the iconic characters from Mortal Kombat…
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition owes its existence to the fact that the devs at Square Enix were afraid that the original version of the classic Japanese RPG was about to become "unplayable."
I don't know why they were worried. Emulation has ensured the game (and every other PS1 game for that matter) will live on forever. Maybe they're so out of touch they aren't even aware emulators are a thing.
PS1 emulation is essentially perfect. Maybe not frame perfect in the same way that hardware emulation can deliver, but you can't tell the difference. You can run epsxe or duckstation on a potato PC.
So many games are way more "unplayable" than Chrono Cross, which at least had a rerelease as a PS1 Classic on PS3.
Why wasn’t Chrono Trigger included in this?
This should’ve been a celebration of the entire Chrono series
Based on Square's logic, Chrono Trigger had no risk of being lost to time because you can currently get that game on Android, iOS and PC while the only version of Chrono Cross that existed was on the original PS1 and playstation classics for PS3, PSP and PS Vita. Those consoles are discontinued.
I would love to see them give Chrono Trigger the ff7 remake treatment minus it being episodic.
Square Enix has no problem rereleasing their Final Fantasy titles as often as they do. Should apply that logic to CT as well
If Chrono Trigger did get a remake it’d be on the scale of Trials of Mana, Live a Live or DQIII rather than FFVII
I'd be fine with that. Stay truer to the original. Combat , everything. Although I enjoyed ff7r the combat nearly put me off the game. I didn't mind the changes to the story.
The Steam port of Chrono Trigger, since all of the updates it received, is quite close to being flawless, I wish they’d go the final mile and make the remaining fixes, which should be easy for them to do
