A Review By maverick106 in PSP » Role Playing Game
TacticalRPGs have a special place in my heart. Freshmanyear of college is a blur of physics, mountain dew, and Final Fantasy Tactics. To the great dismay of a floor full ofengineers, not a single final exam asked how to obtain the Zodiac summon. My fate was sealed, though, and the genrebecame a steadfast friend. Itreat...

A Review By Tel Prydain in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
Back when I got my first DS, the majority of the available games consisted of simple puzzle games, licensed trashed and a few well-polished first-party games. I recently picked up a new DS, and I’m happy to report that this is no longer the case. The World Ends With You is a great example of the kind of games that the DS is now host to. ...

A Review By biosc1 in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
I have a confession to make. This is my first RPG on the DS. I've been away from the RPG genre for a long time and I wanted something simple. I also wanted a game that would integrate the touch screen. I know that this game is probably not everyone's first choice, but it was my first choice because I knew that i...

A Review By Tel Prydain in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
Since their early work with Black Isle, I’ve been a Bioware fanboy. They have created epic scale RPGs with the Baldur’s Gate Series, amazing online experiences with Neverwinter Nights and licensed games that are actually good with Knights of the Old Republic. As a fan of Western RPGs, I look to them as the last bastion of a dying ge...

My next review will have a Ninja Squad comic, and some pretty pictures with captions, I promise. It's just that I had to get this off my chest as soon as I could. -- AM I'd like to take the time to come clean with you fine readers. In the interest of full disclosure, I should let you guys and girls know that I didn't play Two Worlds for mor...

A Review By Shodan2020 in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
Animal Crossing: Wild World for the DS is pretty much more of the same. If you've played Animal Crossing for the Gamecube you already know all you need to about the game. It starts out the same way, and aside from the additions of some new furniture, new characters and a few new additions to the various buildings, and WiFi multiplay not a whole l...

A Review By torrefaction in PC » Role Playing Game
I went into Neverwinter Nights 2 with low expecations. I had heard Mask of the Betrayer was an incredible game, but that NWN2 wasn't that great. To some extent, this is true. NWN2 is not THAT great. But it's still a pretty damn good game. I'm going to get my major issue with it out of the way first. The ca...

A Review By Shrinn in Wii » Role Playing Game
There's no point in hiding it. The Chocobo dungeon games are dungeon crawlers and roguelikes. Those genres carry a lot of repetition in their basic qualities, and the sign of a good game makes that repetition fun. If you liked/loved Chocobo's Dungeon 2, just get this game. It's the definition of a good sequel, keeping the same basic gameplay...

A Review By StinkyCheese in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
Chocobo Tales is another spin-off of Final Fantasy, (as if there wasn't enough already)chronicling the adventures of a brave chocobo trying to save his friends. While it may keep story elements such as the plot of four crystals and a dark, twisted villain of traditional FF games, leveling up and turn-based battles are replaced by minigames and ca...

PA has recently teamed up with HotHead studios to give us Penny Arcade's first foray into games, On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One. T...

A Review By willardhaven in PlayStation 2 » Role Playing Game
In 2003 there were a lot of new Japanese RPGs sprouting up for the Playstation 2. Being a fan of Breath of Fire III and IV I chose to buy Dragon Quarter blindly. What I got was not only a great new twist on a weary old genre, but also a great gaming experience period. Dragon Quarter takes place underground in an incredibly dystopian future....

A Review By willardhaven in PlayStation 2 » Role Playing Game
I really wanted to love Odin Sphere. The 2-d side-scrolling action/brawler received tons of hype from game reviewers as well as the online community. Its unique look and old-school pandering made many game fans salivate (myself included). So I ordered myself a copy and gave it a whirl. At first the game seemed interesting; with some sl...

A Review By livE ecivonvA in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
TWEWY uses a mix of puzzle solving and real-time battles as players participate in "The Game". They have a week to survive until the 7th and final day to win a second chance at life. Held at the Shibuya district, you're given a mission for each day, which may involve helping people with their problems, clearing areas of Noise, or possess ...

A Review By tashi in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
The World Ends With You is an amazing DS game. It proves once again that handheld games don't have to be trite, pointless, or short. I've played this game countless hours, and the endgame content is such high quality I know I'll be playing this game much longer. The World Ends With You gives you a solid gaming experience, and then it gives you co...

A Review By Time in Nintendo DS » Role Playing Game
Developer: Square Enix Platform: DS I got to play this game for a while, and what I saw I was very impressed with. Although I haven't played through the entire game, I got a good taste of it. Boy oh boy was it a sweet taste! The Story: In The World Ends With You (TW), you end up in a second universe type deal. You bump int...

Background Information: I never played Kingdom Hearts, so Kingdom Hearts II was my first exposure to the series. I finished KH2 in about a week and clocked 55 hours of gameplay. Now, here's the review. Genre: Action RPG (with shooter segments)(also with some minigames) Story: You start the game controlling Roxas and i...

A Review By Telefrog in PC » Role Playing Game
Hellgate: London is one of those games that other developers watch with clinical detachment to learn from. It is a tragic lesson in hubris and mismanagement. One can imagine a test question about Hellgate: London in Game Development 101 being worded like this, "How could the critically praised co-developer of Diablo release a highly anticipate...

A Review By Goronmon in PC » Role Playing Game
Lineage 2 is a boring, repetitive grind. The classes are bland, the combat is monotonous, the environments are unimpressive, and the interface is frustrating. Then again, the game is an MMO. Many people would probably claim that is par for the course. Those people would be wrong, but they would still say it anyways. I do accept, however, that...
