I kind of have to agree with you about Onimusha's water puzzle, after having experienced it myself. It didn't quite kill the game for me though. I find it a lot easier to do when you're working with it on your own and you know what you're doing, which took me a while.

I hated the Rotating Sticks mini-game in Onimusha 2, though (you know, that part in the game where you have to rotate the analog sticks in clockwise directions)... it's quite uncomfortable for me to work with, even though I've gotten used to it by now. But I still love the game.

Just thought I'd put in a word, if that's okay.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if there are really any I can recommend, to be frank, particularly because tastes tend to differ. And I know little-known tidbits here and there that I've either found out myself, that good friends have told me, or that I came across in other places I venture around.

I'm pretty much with you on the Dracula X thing, too. It would have been just rockin' if Konami was kind enough to make a PS1 port of Rondo of Blood or so. If they had, I would have been there to get it.

Golden Axe without getting hit? Impressive.

Interestingly, Riot Zone is a remake of a beat-em-up produced by the same company behind it (Westone). In particular, Riot City. Not sure if you knew. But figured I'd mention it while you were playing the game, if that's fine.
