    Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
    Long time fans will be pleased with this entry in the Ace Attorney series, and it's a quality game for newcomers as well, although it is not the best entry point for the series. It's definitely what I'd call fan service for those who have stuck by the series, and it's great that fan loyalty pays off for this game.

    Ragnarok DS
    I can sum up Ragnarok DS in one word: mediocre.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Shiren the Wanderer
    But whether you love, hate, or are indifferent about "roguelikes" of the past, this charming and addictive adventure may just hold your mind and body captive for a few days.

    Star Ocean: The Last Hope International
    As long as players are willing to find that mute button on their remote - or can palate the Japanese dub - and can stand up to an overly-sappy story, there's no reason not to pick up Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

    Mass Effect 2
    Bioware has delivered everything they have promised with Mass Effect 2, and then some.
    • 94 Metascore

    Mass Effect 2
    Gamers expecting a truly memorable narrative may be slightly disappointed with Mass Effect 2. The game is far too much setup and not enough payoff to be considered anything more than an opening act to the (hopefully) epic finale.

    Glory of Heracles
    I worry that many RPG fans will pass over this game when, in actuality, they would really enjoy it if they gave it a chance.

    Sands of Destruction
    For undying JRPG fans, SoD might be another great experience, but overall, it is another meal for Mediocrity.

    Divinity II: Ego Draconis
    The game feels broken at times and often gives the impression that the developers were rushed, or stopped caring halfway through. There also seems to be a lot of heart put into the game, but during several instances, the development feels blatantly careless.

    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
    In the end, The Crystal Bearers manages to be a somewhat simple but entertaining adventure, but one that is polished and put together with care, for the sole purpose of entertaining the player.

    The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
    The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks brings little new to the franchise, and that would be fine if what it did introduce wasn't tedious and clumsy. The train is an abomination. And, while there are good puzzles and fun dungeons, everything seems a little tired, brief, and empty.

    Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes
    Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes comes highly recommended, whether or not you've played any other games in the M&M franchise. This is not a bastardization of the series. If anything, Clash of Heroes may become the catalyst to resurrect a franchise that was once on its last legs.

    King's Bounty: Armored Princess
    While the gaming world has become fixed on looking for innovation, AP tosses those expectations aside, and builds on what has worked.

    Harvest Moon: Animal Parade
    Animal Parade is not perfect, but it is by far one of my favorite Harvest Moon titles. This is the most fun I've had with the series in a long time, and it's great to see the story integrated so well with the gameplay.

    Harvest Moon DS: Sunshine Islands
    Sunshine Islands is a passable installment in the Harvest Moon series. It's a great pick up and play game, but it doesn't do much new.

    Phantasy Star Zero
    It's not a game for everyone, but those who are fans of "grindfest" games like Diablo will have a blast with this game, especially considering you can play it while waiting in the line at the DMV.

    Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans
    Overall, I found Attack of the Saiyans to be a short but admirable attempt at bringing structure and story-driven action to the series in its video game adaptations.

    Dragon Age: Origins
    Bioware has crafted a truly remarkable game, but don’t be surprised if you have to pour over an FAQ to find the right combination for your party.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Dragon Age: Origins
    Dragon Age: Origins is a rare game, one reminiscent of the PC RPGs of the past, and those who enjoyed those games will undoubtedly enjoy this one.

    Dragon Age: Origins
    Quite simply, Dragon Age: Origins is the first true 100 hour console RPG I have ever seen. When it ends, you'll shed a tear. And if you don't, you may not be human.

    Torchlight
    In the broadest terms, there are two ways to make a great game: do something cool that hasn't been done before, or do a great job of improving on things that have been done before. Torchlight falls pretty firmly in the second category, but that doesn't make it any less great.

    Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island
    Gust fans should definitely check it out, and I also recommend it to players looking for something a little different than your average boilerplate JRPG.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Nostalgia
    I'm a big fan of nostalgic "old-school" style RPGs as my catalogue of reviews suggests, but honestly, Nostalgia fell completely flat in almost all areas.
    • 84 Metascore

    Borderlands
    In short, Borderlands is a top-quality shooter and grind-fest.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Hero's Saga Laevatein Tactics
    Hero's Saga has some good points such as actual, strategic challenge and some pretty visuals, but the game as a whole is weak.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Magna Carta 2
    In short, Magnacarta 2 is a competent, if forgettable, RPG.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    A Witch's Tale
    All-in-all, A Witch's Tale is not only just average aesthetically, but absolutely destroyed by one of the worst battle systems I've encountered in a long time.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Half-Minute Hero
    It might not be the longest RPG out there at around 10-15 hours, but Half-Minute Hero is a game that's worth experiencing, and most importantly, you'll have fun doing it.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Demon's Souls
    All-in-all, Demon's Souls is a game every PS3 RPG fan should buy just to say that they own it, just to say that they've played it. It's up to you as the gamer to figure out if an incredibly difficult, incredibly unique game is the game for you.

    Risen
    It takes a while for things to start up, but once it gets going, it becomes quite addicting.
