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…
Soul Calibur had been a great weapon-based fighter for the Dreamcast and arcades everywhere. My friends still play it… all of the combos, stunning graphics, great story, and something to work for (secret characters and alternate costumes). The sequel is just as capturing, and that much better. I would never have thought that a fighter…
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…
Radiata Stories is alongside Dragon Quest VIII as Square/Enix’ newest poster boy. RS was developed by Tri-Ace a team which I personally believe is the best that Square/Enix has at its disposal. Yeah Tri-Ace is the studio responsible for the great Star Ocean 3 which might be the best damn Japanese RPG in this generation….
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue is a classic masterpiece, and in my opinion a game that has aged a bit better than FFVI. Lunar 2 is not only Working Designs greatest imported game but also master RPG developer Game Arts’ greatest RPG ever. Yes, some may claim that Game Arts’ Grandia is their biggest and mightiest…
