Class of Heroes 2 Review

Class of Heroes 2 Review

Following in the tracks of another, more widely known first-person dungeon crawler series on handhelds, the second iteration of Class of Heroes is more about sticking to the established formula than making improvements. Does the formula still work, or like an alchemy recipe is it a waste of time and money?

Far Cry 3 Review

Far Cry 3 Review

Did I ever tell you know the definition of insanity? It starts with RPGamer reviewing a shooter, then the reviewer declares his spirit animal to be ‘The Explosion Bear’ and then the climax gets delayed by goofing around in a wingsuit.

Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan Review

Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan Review

Bloodthirsty bears bashing in logs, freaky feathered floaters roaming the air, terrible turtles twisting on the ice, and killer kangaroos kvetching about intrusions into their space. Etrian Odyssey FOEs sure are a grumpy bunch. Go away, you dumb sheep, I’m trying to collect vegetables!

Dragon’s Dogma Review

Dragon’s Dogma Review

Hark, what flame against starlit backdrop breaks? It is the dragon’s, and it burns for thee, for me, and for all other creatures under heaven’s firmament. For in sooth, is there aught in Gransys that does not fear fire?

Drakengard Retroview

Drakengard Retroview

There once was a man named Caim, who took to riding a dragon through the skies, slaughtering thousands of imperial peons in his path. He never gets tired of killing the teeming masses, but those who experience his game might. Watch the blood spurt.

Drakengard 2 Retroview

Drakengard 2 Retroview

One might be forgiven for thinking that a man forced to kill hundreds in his path while constantly expressing a lack of confidence in this procedure just might exhibit mental degradation. If such a trait is in Nowe’s character, it never surfaces. Oh, NOW you’re back, Eris?
