Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland Review

Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland Review

In my dreams, I see myself mixing some potions, in a workshop somewhere near the ocean. I’m all tan and smiling and twirling from the haze. It’s hot and the Chims keep on playing the pie game, and they’re singing the same darn refrain. And the smoke’s a bluish gray.

Chantelise Review

Chante and Elise’s adventure has finally come to a close for this reviewer. The question is: were they angels with attitude or devils in disguise?

Ar tonelico Qoga ~Knell of Ar Ciel~ Review

Cat girls, southern belles, lady knights, crazy jesters, and sexy nurses. Ar tonelico Qoga provides so many choices in terms of finding your lucky gal. RPGamer purged with the girls, but did we survive?

Bonded Realities Review

Bonded Realities Review

Welcome to E.Z Childcare. We promise we won’t lose your children… or let them eat sand. But remember, we’ll love them so you don’t have to. Whether we really love them, though, that’s tough to say.

Aphelion: Episode Two – Wings of Omega Review

Aphelion: Episode Two – Wings of Omega Review

Lunatic Studios set out to create a improved version of Aphelion with the sequel Wings of Omega. Did they succeed, or will RPGamer once again complain about wasted potential? See our review to find out.

Epic Dungeon Review

Epic Dungeon Review

Are you epic enough to traverse a fifty-floor dungeon? Are you man enough to sing bass in the ogre barber shop quartet? Good talent is hard to come by, especially when ogres only sing in one pitch.

Deadly Sin 2 Review

Deadly Sin 2 Review

RPG Maker games seem to have a mixed reputation within the RPG community. Has Deadly Sin Studio created an RPG Maker game worth playing? Well, if it’s any consolation, Teresa is really hot.

Costume Quest Review

Costume Quest Review

Hi, I’m Sam and I suck. Like, really hard. No one’s ever sucked as badly as I suck right now. And I smell too. Don’t listen to anything I have to say. Instead, you should listen to Adriaan, because he’s amazing and totally right about everything, and I’m totally wrong.
Read all of Adriaan’s amazing thoughts here.

Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar Review

Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar Review

I’m so hungry… I can barely move… I think I’m going to pass out. Unless you give me one of your items, young lady. But not one of your tomatoes, for you see, I get hives. Also stop ringing that bell, it hurts my ears. What day is it again? Oh, Harvest Moon review day, that’s what.
