Introduction:

In this Vlog I talk about why I love the PlayStation (1) Video game Syphon Filter. For my 10th Birthday this gem of a game was given to me as an early treat. I had already been introduced to Syphon Filter 2 first. However I was unable to complete the game as I was careless with the second disc and it became scratched resulting in permanent damage. 

I learnt that lesson the hard way by looking after all of my discs. In many ways I preferred Syphon Filter over the second and third instalments. This game simply got it right and it is one of my top 3 favourite games ever, well in the PlayStation (1) era that is. 

The story of Gabriel Logan and Lian Xing teaming up in order to bring down those responsible for the creation of the Syphon Filter Virus was epic. I loved every part of this game that had been crafted by John Garvin and his team. From the storytelling, character development, visuals, audio, music and overall gameplay. This game has always got a special place in my heart that I still cherish to this day. 

The original Syphon Filter trilogy definitely requires a remaster, it never really got the appreciation and respect that it so truly deserved.
