“Fragile isn’t so much a game as it is an experience in humanity. Treat it as such, and your heart could be touched in incredible ways.”
With each new generation of consoles that comes out, gaming takes another step to push its limits. The action becomes more over-the-top, the graphical detail takes another step towards photorealism, the gameplay evolves and steps up. But there’s also a small number of games which push the envelope in another direction: to tell a story like never before. That’s the kind of game Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is – it is a story first and a game second. More

Some time ago, many of us were giddy/happy/whatever you want to call it whenever we heard that the second-gen games Gold, Silver, and Crystal were being remade, in HGSS. About the 12th, some of us got our imports and began playing our games. I’ll just get to rating everything:

“The best broken game ever.”
I have never really liked Ragnarok Online. I am not a fan of MMORPGs and I never quite understood what is so good about them. Most of these games are totally dependent on their community and the way the player interacts with this community. I may look senile when I say this, but I really do not enjoy chatting with teens so I can buy or sell stuff and share loot. I prefer the good old fashioned way: inviting home a couple of friends and spend some time playing with them. Nevertheless, the fact is that I do not like the “Massive” aspect of MMORPGs, therefore I stay away from them as much as I can.

Since Final Fantasy first premiered on the Nintendo consoles, I figured I would review the new game
“FFXIII is best JRPG released in at least 5 years.”
As the tagline states, I believe this game easily surpasses any other JRPG of this generation. It manages to do something engrossing and unique while avoiding many of the pitfalls that nearly other JRPG of this generation has fallen into. I’ll try to give a brief idea of what you should expect if you pick this up and discuss the wedge points which will make you love or hate this game in particular. More

For the first time, we will be reviewing a non-Nintendo title.
“Bioware sets the bar yet again.”
The first Mass Effect really caught me by surprise. But ME’s classic sci-fi leanings, unique combination of RPG and shooter elements and it’s top notch plot got me really invested into the first game of the trilogy. But I have to admit, despite my fondness for Mass Effect 1, the experience didn’t really stick with me. A few months after finishing it, it quickly passed out of memory. My anticipation of the sequel was mostly due to the plot and the chance to see how Commander Shepard’s story would continue to pan out. I had a feeling I would enjoy it, but I had no idea of just how much a colossal experience it would be.

This week we will be doing two reviews as well to make up for not doing one last week. Things got a little busy over at MGGSound
Our first review is for the DS game Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
“Reach out to the truth…”
There’s a corpse slumped in the corner. Blood everywhere. Judging by the wounds, he was shot through the gut. The weird thing is, the guards didn’t notice anyone enter the room. The door was supposedly locked the entire time. Nor are there any other exits or places to hide. It couldn’t have been suicide; there’s a gun on the floor nearby, but it hasn’t been used. Only his prints were on it, too. There’s no residue on the victim’s clothes, which means he wasn’t killed by short-range fire. No bullet holes in the wall, let alone any signs of a struggle. No one even heard the gunshot. There’s no way this murder could have happened here. Yet here this man lies, left to rot for all the world to see. It doesn’t make any sense at all. That means only one thing:
Somebody’s lying.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars

“They said it couldn’t be done.”
But it apparently can be done– all licensing issues and hold-ups be damned! Many were stating, even Capcom themselves, that Tatsunoko VS. Capcom: Cross Generation Heroes (the Japanese title of the game) would stay exclusive to the land of the rising sun. Each character in the West belonged to a different studio, so it was all but an impossibility. Somehow, someway, Tatsunoko VS. Capcom has reached North American shores as Tatsunoko VS. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. With so many memorable Capcom characters and the Tatsunoko line of impressive heroes, it is an honor and a privilege to be able to check this game out now that it has migrated to the West. More
No More Heroes 2 Review

This week is a two game review instead of one., because this game needs to be reviewed ASAP.
Three years. That’s how long it’s been since Travis Touchdown became the world’s greatest assassin…and vanished without a trace. It’s ironic. You’d think someone as socially inept as Travis would revel in his hard-earned glory. But he left it all behind, and no one knows why. Maybe he got bored; it’s not fun being a killer if there’s no one left to fight to the death. He got off on taking down worthy opponents, not murdering innocent bystanders. More
Sands of Destruction Review

Sands of Destruction is ambitious. It tried to meld together voice acting, an interesting storyline, good gameplay… Sadly, it hits some of these goals and falls very very short on the others.
