    Deus Ex: Invisible War

    Before Mass Effect, there's Deus Ex. This second installment is quite as cool as the original.

    The story continues from the first game and rides on the success of its sci-fi open-ended RPG plot-line. Being able to choose your gender also adds a little spice this time. Quests are engaging as usual, which spans from... Read Full Review

    This and the Heroes of Might and Magic series made me a fan of 3DO games instantly. Might and Magic VI was my first of the series and it rocked my little world. I never knew 3D sprites would be so cool! Well, deep in my ... Read Full Review

    Nice FF clone if you want to say it that way, but contains wickedly awesome cinematics as well.

    The core gameplay is very similar to FF7, though has a smaller premise and scope. Characters look nice in the dragoon outfit but you can see they consist of the usual suspects, like the fighter, healer or magic user. Dur... Read Full Review
