SquareSoft's latest announcement to the Playstation is their RPG game named Parasite Eve, based loosely on the original Japanese Novel. The basic plot of the original novel was that the Mitochondria in the human body had its own mind since 100,000,000 years ago, and planned to take over the human race. Although this same plot stays true for Square's game, most other parts of the story are totally different. To add more to it, the game takes place in New York and the main character is a blond lady cop, unlike the original which took place in Japan between a Japanese scientist couple.  |

It was Aya's natural instincts telling her that the actoress was the culprit, and thus Aya stuck her gun at her. But the actoress only looked at aya, and cited "I am Eve"..... |
