The Suikoden Series hasn’t made the transition to modern consoles; Suikoden I+II are legendary, mostly because they are hard finds unless you go on e-bay. There are also many Suikoden spin offs on different systems. Konami definitely had, at least until the 3rd installment, a decent RPG franchise. Suikoden 3 made its debut on the…
Speechless…That’s is how Suikoden 3 left me. I am one of the few who had played and finished the original Suikoden some 7-8 years ago. That game was good, it was one of the very first RPGs for the PS1 and it featured the at the time unprecedented ability to recruit 108 characters, to fight…
Old Classic Still Has Some Fire Left In It Suikoden wasn’t the PS1’s first RPG, but for all intent and purposes it should have been. Beyond the Beyond was the title that beat Suikoden out of the gates, and it was a god awful title that did nothing to elevate the genre into the 32…
A Series That Needs No Introduction Star Ocean is a J-RPG series that from the SNES gen to the PS2 gen never once dropped the ball, the Second Story to me is the finest chapter the series ever had to offer and it is game that passed many a gamer because it had the misfortune…
More than three years in the making, and backed, perhaps, by the biggest budget that an Enix game has ever had. Star Ocean 3 was an RPG groomed for greatness. But all of those factors don’t necessarily make a great game (See Legend of Dragoon). However, given Tri Ace’s (the Developer) excellent recent track record…
1999 was a huge year for RPGs, games like FFVIII, Grandia, Suikoden 2 and Lunar, all were released in that year. So it is forgivable that most of you missed a great RPG, (an argument can be made by some that the game was the best RPG of that year) by the name of Star…
The Last Great RPG From Sega Skies of Arcadia, will most probably be remembered as the last great RPG to appear on a Sega console, and perhaps maybe the last great RPG from Sega itself. This is a lofty position to be in as Skies of Arcadia is the last great RPG in a lineage…
Shadow of the Colossus is the closest thing I have played to 1998’s GREAT The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, in this generation. Colossus, is innovative, huge, and simply a work of art. It also features a guy with a sword, a bow and Arrows, that rides on a horse across the open fields….
In the PS2 era developer Level-5 established itself as one of the more reliable teams when it came to delivering console RPG goodness. Dark Cloud and its sequel were well received by critics, and the talented team was chosen to help flesh out Dragon Quest VIII for the PS2. In 2006 they released what will…
I was never a big fan of the Resident Evil games, I did finish Resident Evil 2 and RE: Code veronica, but even then, while I still consider RE: 2 a classic, the games were far from flawless. Graphically, the games always did the trick; I will never forget how awesome Code Veronica first looked…
