Persona 3: Fes

School is about juggling studies, friends and fighting monsters

There is a thing to fault Persona 3. What is the game exactly? It can be loosely acknowledged as a role playing game, but equally focal are the dungeon crawling and dating simulation aspects. So eloquently these disparat... Read Full Review

Animal Crossing: Wild World

Little by little, it unveils its mystery to you, but the catch is, you must have the time.

If you can get past that occasional weird stare while chuckling at its sheer brilliance and humour, you’ve got yourself a game in Animal Crossing: Wild World. The beginning of the game sees a cut-scene of your charact... Read Full Review

Wild Arms: The 4th Detonator

Moving away is both its curse and blessing.

When it comes to video game franchises, few are as collected as the Wild Arms series. One can be assured that a Wild Arms game will definitely take place in Filgaia, a decayed world that is often found tittering on destr... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Sensou

You don't need a Lion's War to remain great.

Ignore what's after the colon in Final Fantasy Tactics: War of Lions; it's pretty much the same game as it was when first released in 1998. Minimally altered with some voice acted cut-scenes and new job cIasses, and spri... Read Full Review

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth

This uniquely woven tale is not exactly a must-play, but it will be a damn shame to miss it. Again.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is an exemplary example of why a game should be remade. The original, which first graced the psone 9 years ago, immediately became a cIassic, a bell weather sign that would soon make the game bo... Read Full Review

Too Human

Have fun wriggling your right thumb in frustration.

The biggest gripe with Too Human is that it was too ambitious. An action game by nature helplessly forced with elements of the role playing genre, the lack of focus and refinement on either fails to bring out some of the... Read Full Review

Grandia III

Pretty and addictive game, but that's about it.

Pretty and addictive game, but that's about it. The game follows the quest of our male protagonist, Yuki. Flying has always been in Yuki's blood. Together with Rotts, his best friend, they somehow managed to build the... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is the franchise's second stab at the genre, but it feels like the first.

The premises of most games are fantasy, the realm where hordes of monsters rein supreme and where humans carry giant swords to assume roles of warriors not quite relevant in our version of world. It is a shot on anything... Read Full Review

Dark Chronicle

Now, where's that ugly cousin of Dark Cloud 2?<br />

Now, where's that ugly cousin of Dark Cloud 2? I can't say that I am a complete gamer, for I am better versed in RPGs than in any other genres. But it still take some major doing for a game to impress me so much I cou... Read Full Review

The Last Remnant

A broken gem.

From the onset, The Last Remnant is justifiably a broken game. For something that has been in development for such a long period of time, by acclaimed RPG producers Square-Enix no less, the glaring technical problem is a... Read Full Review

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga

Gripping stuff, that's what Shin Megami Tensei: DIgital Devil Saga is all about.

Gripping stuff, that's what Shin Megami Tensei: DIgital Devil Saga is all about. Shin Megami Tensei, or SMT, as it's so affectionately known as, hails as one of the top few RPGs series in Japan. It sets itself differentl... Read Full Review

Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the cursed king is one such game which deserves every single word of praise. <br />

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the cursed king is one such game which deserves every single word of praise. Before you read the rest, I would like to warn you that it may contain some minor spoilers but I guess it is ... Read Full Review

Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume

This is art.

Frederic François Chopin's first foray into being popular was said to be a masterpiece known as Grande Valse Brillante. It wasn't easy for the patriotic music composer, who had to made witness the fall of his homeland at... Read Full Review

Fable II

Like childhood fables, Fable II charms you into thinking that it's a game of consequences.

Fable II is a game about choices. In its short but eventful journey that is set in the fantasy landscape of Albion, one plays the life of 'Little Sparrow', a muted hero who throughout the game, would make decisions that ... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy III

FF III may not be perfect, but it's still the best RPG the DS has for offer.

Final Fantasy III sets itself in a worldly fight between light and darkness. In this epic power-struggle, light once triumphed, and it was up to four Dark Warriors to restore the world back to its equilibrium. Many years... Read Full Review

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

Juggling RPG and Platform elements with such ease and grace, the DS welcomes the first entry of the Castlevania series.

With its intuitive controls and addictive game play, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is a reviewer's nightmare. It's extremely fun to play, but to put it down in words, it just never bring across the same message. Simply put... Read Full Review

Blue Dragon

Plagued by its own hype, Blue Dragon failed to become what many had expected it to be.

To many, the arrival of Mistwalker was a godsend to challenge the grapple of Square-Enix on the RPG market. The man behind is Hironobu Sakaguchi, whose name used to run synonymous with the famed company. His reply to his... Read Full Review

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

An unlikely concoction of fun.

Puzzle Quest reminds us of those huge gambles one would have to take in stages of their lives where only two conceivable outcomes are presented- either it is destined for greatness, or it will be washed down the history ... Read Full Review

Enchanted Arms

There isn't anything enchanting about Enchanted Arms.

In life, being the first in anything is never a simple matter. The first child in a family often enjoys undivided attention, only to become the subject of harsh expectations when the second and third come along. Bragging... Read Full Review

Shadow Hearts: From the New World

When a game is that good, no Judgement is necessary.

Nautilus has obviously done something right. For the second game coming, this latest installment of the Shadow Hearts series impressed, much of it owing to the unique mix of conventional game play and dark humour. Like i... Read Full Review
