3D Dot Game Heroes
Adventure games have definitely come a long way. More specifically, Zelda has come a long way from the overhead 2D games on the NES, SNES and Gameboy to the 3D games on N64 and beyond. Then Nintendo kinda tried to go back to their roots with the games on DS– except they threw in annoying [...]
White Knight Chronicles
White Knight Chronicles was my most anticipated game of ‘08. Then, it was my most anticipated game of ‘09. Finally the game comes out in ‘10. Was it worth the wait. Well, no… but… yes.

Valkyria Chronicles
Strategy RPGs have come a long way since the early days of Fire Emblem and Langrisser. And Sega is no stranger to this type of game. Shining Force has several entries into the genre on multiple conosles. This time Sega ventures into Playstation 3 territory with a new IP, Valkyria Chronicles. You may be thinking, [...]

Whether the uniqueness be a new way to do quests, an uncommon party system or some other gimmick having to do with the battles, the one thing that many RPGs coming out recently have in common is that they all try to do something completely different from the others. Nostalgia, well, it is not one of those games.
