1. Legacy of Kain -- Soul Reaver
   The Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2 is a 3rd person adventure game, more similar in perspective to Soul Reaver than the first Blood Omen game. The player controls from behind Kain's shoulder and can move him in different directions, attack, jump, use "dark gifts" and grab on to ledges. Kain's life energy steadily depletes and must be replenished constantly by drinking blood. Blood is found by consuming any living creature nearby, often requiring defeating an enemy through combat first. As Kain consumes blood, his meter is filled up. Once full, Kain gains additional health.
2. Legacy of Kain -- Wraith Raziel
   Raziel's part of the game begins five hundred years later, in a quest that occurs parallel to Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. Held captive by his master the Elder God, Raziel is forbidden to leave the spectral realm, but escapes his master and discovers a way to manifest in the material realm using the corpses of the dead. Raziel travels about Nosgoth hoping to find a way to avoid his fate of being imprisoned in the Soul Reaver, imbuing his own spectral version of the sword with the souls of the original guardians of the Pillars of Nosgoth during his journey. After being told by the Vampire Vorador who forged the Reaver that only the deceased Janos Audron, the last of the Ancients, can give him the answers he seeks, Raziel travels to Avernus Cathedral to find Janos' heart and revive him.[4] Raziel ... finds numerous murals of the Hylden and Ancients, showing the Ancients becoming horrified at their newfound immortality and many of them committing suicide. Raziel later discovers this is because the Ancients worshiped the Elder God, who had decreed all souls had to spin in a cycle of life and death known as the Wheel of Fate. Because they were immortal, their souls could not follow this doctrine and the Ancients became the bane of the entity they once revered.[5] Raziel also finds murals of the two prophesied champions, and is shocked to discover the Hylden champion and its flaming sword resemble him and the spectral Soul Reaver.
3. Bleach
   Bleach is a Japanese anime/manga that tells the story of a teenaged Ichigo Kurosaki who can see ghosts. He is swept into the world of noble Soul Reavers (shingami) and evil spirits known as "Hollows" who eat souls. Ichigo takes on the role of a shingami after accidentally absorbing the energy of another Soul Reaver, Rukia.
4. Dragons
   The DuPage Dragons were shutout for the first time this season as they lost to the Danville Dans 2-0. Three pitchers combined for the five-hitter as Connor Sestak (2-1) started and went seven innings before handing the game to Zach Scott, who worked the eighth, and A.J. Griffin, who picked up his first save in the ninth.
5. Sesshomaru -- Inuyasha
   Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's full fledged demon elder brother. Cool and seemingly evil, Sesshomaru's name literally means to kill. Sesshomaru despises Inuyasha for being a half demon and having human feelings. The reason was probably due to the attack of the Panther Tribe 50 years ago, when Sesshomaru expected Inuyasha to help out in the battle but Inuyasha was cursed and bound to a tree after falling in love with a human woman, Kikyo. Although Sesshomaru always threatened to kill Inuyasha, there were many chances for him to do so but which he never did.
6. Caliban -- Caliban Computing
   Named after the wild and deformed slave in Shakespeare's "Storm", Caliban are five German musicians who despite their young age are already seen as veterans of the European metal-core scene. The strange mix of animal-like coarseness, diabolical ruse and mighty impetuosity not only makes Caliban one of the most important characters in Shakespeare's dramas but ... the patron saint to the musical orientation of this quintet from Germany's Ruhr region. Within just a few years they have become one of the most important and influential bands of that genre. Formed in 1997 (under the name Never Again) Caliban signed to Lifeforce Records after recording a two song promo tape. The release of their self-titled EP in the summer of 1998 was the start of a co-operation which was to lay the foundation of Caliban's incredible success. Countless tours all over Europe including a few support gigs for bands like Morning Again, Earth Crisis and Cro-Mags strengthened their reputation and got them an ever increasing army of Caliban "apostles".
