Your Adult Neighbor Insisting You Borrow His PlayStation So You Can See How Cool Syphon Filter Is: A Review

Syphon Filter (PlayStation, 1999)

Bobby was so clutch

He knew I didn’t have a PlayStation and when he played Syphon Filter for weeks on end I think his wife was like “you gotta stop for a while” so he brought it over and I got to play a PlayStation for a few halcyon. It ruled.

He was right

Bobby was totally right -- the game rules. Maybe it hasn't aged gracefully but god what a moment in time.

It did not, however, lead my parents to buy me a PlayStation

I was probably really annoying about it, too.

8.6 / 10

Though I didn’t score a PlayStation until the second incarnation, it certainly kickstarted my love for the platform when Bobby my adult neighbor insisted I play Syphon Filter in the comfort of my home.

    This was the first game where the pirated copy we had was like haha THIS IS 60HZ GAMING, so me and my brother just assumed it was in black and white, because if you feed a 60hz game through 50hz feed it just messes with the colour. one dongle later and I could see Gabe electrify people.
