As a standalone game, The 3rd Birthday is an enjoyable shooter. But as part of the Parasite Eve series (even if there’s no Parasite Eve in the title, it’s still borrowing characters and concepts from there), it could have been better. The plot could’ve...
Abstract: It's taken more than 10 years, but the much-anticipated third entry in the Parasite Eve series is finally available in North America. I've been looking forward to this release for a year myself, and have been chomping at the bit as the official date ne...
Abstract: Square Enix is famous for making incredible games that I never finish. Either too time-consuming, too difficult, or a combination of both, I can count the number of Final Fantasy games I’ve finished on three fingers (even though I’ve played them all si...
Abstract: Many may associate The 3rd Birthday as a kick off to a new franchise. Upon hearing the main character's name, there seems to be an odd familiarity to it. Just where have we heard the name Aya Brea before? Oh, that's right from the Parasite Eve games. D...

Abstract: No matter what it’s called, this is a pretty decent 3D shooter, and there aren’t so many of those on the PSP. That singularity helps overshadow some of the game’s stranger little quirks. This maybe-sequel begins the same way Parasite Eve did, with gia...
Phenomenal visuals; excellent soundtrack; great atmosphere; some very interesting game mechanics.
Said mechanics aren't always used well; lacks consistency in gameplay quality; frustratingly long sequences and boss fights will test your patience, characters are either expendable or unlikable.
