When a huge strategy giant, such as The Creative Assembly, announce a new real time strategy game, a lot of fans are going to be interested. This is especially true when they move away from a setting they are well known for - in The Creative Assembly's case, the Total War series. What's even more interesting is that the development studio is also drifting from their PC roots for their next game, Stormrise. Heavily…
Just by looking at the case of X-Blades, you can tell one thing. Whoever came up with the design of the character is obviously trying to sell the game on sex appeal alone. When it comes down to it, I don't have a problem with that. If the game is good, then a bit of eye candy doesn't hurt anyone. X-blades tells the story of a treasure hunter, who goes by the name of Ayumi. The game's opening scene starts off with…
It's not often you come across a game that mixes in two majorly different types of gameplay elements and at the same time turns out to be remarkably well. At the top of my head I can only think of Puzzle Quest that manages to fit that bill with its mix of puzzle and RPG gameplay. Relic Entertainment, the Canadian development house that bought you the original Dawn of War as well as other highly praised Real Time…
When it comes to the Playstation 2, there hasn't being a company right now as loyal as Atlus. Most other companies have abandoned the Playstation 2 to put their games on the main systems that are on sale at the moment. Atlus on the other hand are still releasing console exclusive quirky Japanese games on the very successful Playstation 2. For that we have to give a big thanks to Atlus. I'm sure a lot of Japanese RPG…
The definition of Goo in the dictionary goes along the lines of “a thick or sticky substance” . That’s certainly what you play around with in 2D Boy’s first release. Nobody would have thought messing with goo in a game would be so damn good but Kyle Gabler and Ron Carmel have managed to do it, and do it outstandingly. World of Goo falls into a special category that only a select few games fall into. Do you remember…
After the strong RPG collection the Playstation 2 built up over its years, you would have thought that the Playstation 3 would be following in its predecessors footsteps. At this moment in time, this is not the case. The system has a lacklustre amount of RPGs in its catalogue of games. Thankfully Sega have decided to fill in this void with their take on the strategy RPG genre. Valkyria Chronicles is a game that…
Sony's Playstation 2 has become known as the console to have if you want to play RPGs, especially Japanese RPGs. The console is crammed full of great titles, and still doesn’t seem to be letting the genre die yet. The Shin Megami Tensei series is a popular franchise that has had a few spin offs, Persona being one of them, and is usually aimed at a mature audience. The games have contained questionable things like…
