Rainbow Moon Review

Rainbow Moon Review

That’s no moon, it’s actually an entire planet. Read on to find out the feeling it elicited from our reviewer.

Game of Thrones Review

Game of Thrones Review

While a Lannister always pays his debts, we’re pretty sure the amount of effort HBO put into this game didn’t do the franchise justice. See how we roar in this overdue review.

Dark Cloud 2 Retroview

Dark Cloud 2 Retroview

The usual response when confronted with a dark cloud would be to seek cover and hope for the best. In this case it would seem running right into the maelstrom is the recommended course of action.
I’m a grumpy guy, apparently.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride Retroview

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride Retroview

Last night my sabre-toothed cat spoke to me, and it said you’ve found that lover friend. So now I’ve finally got the courage just to ask you baby, ooh, will you, will you marry me girl? Smack that slime!

Dark Cloud Retroview

Dark Cloud Retroview

Getting caught under a cloud that keeps raining isn’t much fun, but at least jumping in puddles can be entertaining. Some dark clouds offer even fewer chances for good times.
What’s that, you wanted FEWER than fifteen floors for the first dungeon? Ha ha ha ha!

Ys Origin Review

Ys Origin Review

How can this be an Ys game without Adol? Well it is, and it’s pretty darn impressive even without a certain red-headed hero.

Dragon’s Dogma Review

Dragon’s Dogma Review

While E3 is providing information on games that will be playable in the future, one of our staff members has taken a look at a game that can be played now. Does Dragon’s Dogma have the draw necessary to steal RPGamers’ hearts?

Diablo III PC Review

Diablo III PC Review

Your children, like it or not, are attracted in their weaker years to the occult, and a game like Diablo III fuels their imagination and makes them feel special, while drawing them deeper and deeper into the bowels of El Diablo! Eek! Satan!

Gungnir Review

Gungnir Review

In the newest entry from Sting’s Department of Heaven series, a young man marked with Stigmata uses a divine spear to fight the intolerance of an evil empire. It’s not as allegorical as it sounds.

Yes, Stigmata is supposed to be capitalized.

Dungeons of Dredmor Review

Dungeons of Dredmor Review

The next time you’re planning a weekend of underground exploration, be sure to pack plenty of crossbow bolts, cheese, and brandy. Gaslamp Games provides additional summer camping tips for the well-heeled rogue in Dungeons of Dredmor.

Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland Review

Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland Review

Poor Sterkenberg. Even after three Atelier games, the poor man is completely out of place in the land of hyperactive pink-haired genki girls. Is Atelier Meruru the most excellent adventure of the Arland trilogy, or is it just Sterk’s bogus journey?

Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention Review

Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention Review

Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention is looking to bring Vita gamers back to strategy school. Inquire within to find out if it meets the grade, or has to be held back.

Pandora’s Tower Review

Pandora’s Tower Review

Europe has opened the gates to Pandora’s Tower, unleashing its contents on the region. RPGamer bravely ventures inside to face the darkness within.

Dragon Fantasy iOS Review

Dragon Fantasy iOS Review

While clearly a retro love letter to an early Enix classic, Dragon Fantasy is unique enough to stand on its own. But just how fun is it on the go?

Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku Retroview

Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku Retroview

Apparently Goku is vulnerable to bank robbers and can fly for only a few seconds before getting tired. That’s one way to make him less intimidating, I suppose. Death by snakebite? Really?

Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II Retroview

Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II Retroview

The Super Saiyan is reputed to be the strongest warrior in the cosmos, but in this game one of them can be easily killed by alligators. You learn something new every day. His name is Mister Satan. I have never considered him Hercule.

Dragon Ball Z: Buu’s Fury Retroview

Dragon Ball Z: Buu’s Fury Retroview

More mysteries of the Dragon Ball universe revealed! See – characters forget they can fly to escape a self-destructing vessel! See – criminals who can put up a fight with Super Saiyans! See – Majin Buu wait patiently for characters to gain enough levels to fight him! All in this game! Let’s face it, Satan City is cooler than anything Hercule.

Inazuma Eleven 2 Review

Inazuma Eleven 2 Review

The second game in Level-5’s football-RPG hybrid series has arrived in Europe. Does it conjure up a Firestorm of adoration, or does it get a Blizzard-like reception?
