Insurrection: Campaigns for StarCraft
Official licensed products made by a third party don't usually work out too well...<br />
The unbelievable success of Starcraft would obviously invite many things to the table. Toys, comics and legions upon legions of fans are just a few things to name but there is one more thing that people neglect to talk... Read Full Review

Golden Axe
The age of the Genesis may have come and gone, but Golden Axe displays what made it so appealing.
General platform/adventure games are so plentiful, it's hard to tell which ones are worth playing, and which ones are just plain garbage. Golden Axe is one of those games but it's definitely in the worth playing column.... Read Full Review

Hellfire
An official expansion by another company makes for odd bedfellows.
It would be hard to argue that Diablo for the PC was not a runaway success. It sold millions of copies and the free play on the internet with random dungeons every time you went down to try to slay monster after monster... Read Full Review

Diablo
Randomly generated dungeons with the ring of medieval sorcery at it's finest.
Back in 1996, very few people had heard of Blizzard entertainment. They had mild successes with Warcraft One but Warcraft Two seemed to open some eyes. By the time Diablo came out, everyone was listening to what this s... Read Full Review

Vermilion
One of the earlier RPGs to hit the Genesis, makes it's way to the Wii and it's still so bland!
The Sega Genesis was one of the two main consoles during the early to mid 90s and as a result, it honed it's collections with many different games. Role playing games were not a brand new concept, but in 1989, this was ... Read Full Review

Estpolis Denki
Turn based fun that doesn't do anything new, but does the basics real well.
Taito has released some pretty poor games and some pretty good ones. Lufia & the Fortress of Doom is probably more of the latter. If you've never heard of the Lufia series of RPGs, that's not that surprising. There's ... Read Full Review

Double Dragon III: The Rosetta Stone
Billy and Jimmy make a return in Double Dragon III but they really should have stopped at two.
Playing beat'em ups in the 80s and 90s, I was familiar with many of the games of that era and Double Dragon was one of the premiere beat 'em ups along with Final Fight and even Streets of Rage. Double Dragon was an exce... Read Full Review

The darker possibilities where magic and technology both play a role in Shadowrun.
Shadowrun is a Role Playing Game that started out in the Pen & Paper format just like Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs but slowly garnered a larger following. As a result, other people began to take notice and in 1993,... Read Full Review

Dragon Quest IV: Michibikareshi Monotachi
This revamped classic holds true to the old and abides to the new.
Though there are a fair amount of lackluster games out for the Nintendo DS, but one area that seems to shine is the Roleplaying genre. Dragon quest is a long running Japanese RPG series that has had success in both ... Read Full Review

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
In this iteration, Fire Emblem looks just like the last, but the good thing this is, it's good!
Fire Emblem first appeared on the NES, but only in Japan. America was lucky enough to finally get some Fire Emblem games including two on the GBA and one on the Gamecube and one later on the Wii. This second game on ... Read Full Review

Wii Sports
A great start to the new console that exhibits what it is trying to do. Graphic whores need not apply.

Final Fantasy IV Easytype
This is absolutely one of the finest Role Playing Adventures there has ever been created.

Chrono Cross (PSOne Books)
The sequel to Chrono Trigger had large shoes to fill and maybe those shoes were just too large.
Back in the 1990s, there were a few RPGs that seemed to really be the heart of what an RPG was. Games like Final Fantasy IV (or 2... stupid renaming malarkey) Secret of Mana, Fallout, Phantasy Star IV added a lot of ele... Read Full Review

Starcraft: Brood War
The only expansion to Starcraft is monumental simply because it improves one of the greatest games of all time.

Starcraft
Possibly the greatest game of all time, definitely the greatest strategy game of all time.
Who hasn't heard of Starcraft? Unless you don't like boats, or hate video games, you've heard of Starcraft. What other video game series has retained such support over nearly ten years spawning merchandise and tv shows... Read Full Review

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
If you can only play one role-playing game, this should be it!

Command & Conquer: The First Decade
This is a fantastic collection of games that is put off by a few bugs and some presentation issues.

World of Warcraft
Though the game is very fun at the beginning, at the end, it begins to show more than signs of wear.

The Longest Journey
An excellent story, wonderful actors, and intriguing characters make this game what it is: fantastic.

Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator
An ambitious game in some respects but the speed of the game drags the rest of it down with it.

NeverEnd (2006)
A basic game that fails to deliver even considering it's at a "budget" price.
PC RPGs are hard to find and even harder to find, is a decent one. Neverend is a PC RPG that attempts to fill in that void but succeeds in very few areas relegating it to nothing more than a mere pity of a game. Neve... Read Full Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Return of the Shredder
The Genesis definitely made a game that could compete with the Snes version. Definitely!
Turtles in Time for the Super Nintendo was and is a great beat'em up game starring our four turtle heroes but what did the Sega Genesis have at that time? Well the Genesis' answer was the Hyperstone Heist. If you've pl... Read Full Review

Gyakuten Saiban 3 (Best Price!)
The 3rd installation of the popular courtroom drama doesn't add anything new but is still a satisfying experience.

Mortal Kombat: Shinken Kourin Densetsu
The only question you have to ask yourself, is why they changed Sub-Zero's freeze combination.
Let me begin by saying that Mortal Kombat is an immensely popular series of games. Ever sense it came out in the arcade in the early 1990s, it's hard to deny that for a long time, it was MK or SFII for fighting junkies.... Read Full Review

This game tries to do a lot of new things but fails at the old facets that made the previous two games so successful.
