Reviews Surfing - Little King’s Story (Wii)
April 28, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
One of the many LKS characters.
For a system that’s leading the current generation of console wars, the Nintendo Wii has yet to add another critically-acclaimed game to its line-up. The arrival of Little King’s Story in PAL regions hopes to change all that. Little King’s Story is a unique mix of RPG, real-time strategy, and life simulation. The surprise here isn’t the engaging gameplay, but the game’s ability to impress the most scathing of critics.

Blue Dragon has arrived for the DS.
The last time we saw Blue Dragon it was 2007 and was released for the Xbox 360. The game’s reviews were generally positive, and was said to be well received in Japan.

Review – Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (DS)
February 26, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
Dragon Quest returns to the diminutive Nintendo DS.
Everyone loves a good yarn. In RPGs, the story carries a huge influence on the player’s enjoyment, but it’s not the only basis of the game’s overall quality. Factors such as gameplay, presentation, and overall polish are also considered. Square Enix’s Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride does all these in spades, but it’s the story that leaves you wanting for more.

Reviews Surfing – Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Wii)
January 27, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
The list of role-playing games available for the Nintendo Wii is quite short. This is bizarre, considering that the Wii is selling like hotcakes and that RPGs are one of the more popular video game genres. Hopefully, the arrival of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World would help address this RPG shortage.

Kingdom Hearts is coming to the DS.
The title may be hideous, but it can’t be denied that the upcoming Kingdom Hearts for the Nintendo DS is getting a lot of attention. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (pronounced “Kingdom Hearts three-five-eight days over two”) is the fourth in the series and it’s going to have multiplayer. A Square RPG with multiplayer? Believe it.

The long-awaited Sonic game is finally here. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is “long-awaited” because the blue hedgehog’s games have been quite bad as of late.

The million-dollar question: is The Dark Brotherhood good enough to bring Sonic’s groove back? That’s what we aim to find out today.

Sonic the Hedgehog is back in the Nintendo DS, but it’s not quite the same Sonic that we’re used to. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is an RPG—and get this—the game is developed by Bioware, a developer known for critically-acclaimed RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Mass Effect.

Reviews – Spore Creatures (DS)
Spore Creatures is a charming game, and is nothing like its PC counterpart, but that’s not necessarily a bad or good thing. By itself, Spore Creatures is actually not bad. However, since the game carries the “Spore” moniker, comparisons and criticisms can’t be avoided.
