    Evil Inside
    Did I enjoy being scared? Yeah, I did. I don’t understand people who watch a horror movie, laugh at it the whole time, and then talk about how the movie just wasn’t scary. If you allow yourself to be scared, this game creates some reliable tension. Unfortunately, the entire premise is essentially the theft of what Hideo Kojima’s team created, and nothing is built on top of that. As if the mind-shatteringly awful ending wasn’t bad enough, the final achievement is titled “See the names of Gods.” This is awarded for seeing the credits. I’m just going to leave that there and let you finish my final thoughts on your own.

    Agarest: Generations of War
    Often, even if a game is flawed, there will still be an audience who can appreciate what it has to offer and look past its flaws. I would be hard-pressed to identify any such audience for Agarest: Generations of War.

    Mimana Iyar Chronicle
    With so many high-quality mainstream and indie titles on the gaming landscape this season, PSP RPG players would be best advised to skip Mimana Iyar Chronicle in favor of something better like Valkyria Chronicles 2 or Hexyz Force.

    Hyperdimension Neptunia
    All in all, it's decent to play, and Compile Heart is trying to improve, but they need more common sense in refining basic gameplay elements.

    Last Rebellion
    I'll admit, the game did grow on me and I actually liked it more than I expected to for its 19 hour duration, but it is not a game I can recommend at full price; especially with so many better and higher profile titles releasing this season. That being said, if you find Last Rebellion for $12 or less in the bargain bin, it's not a terrible purchase.

    The Sacred Rings
    There was nothing fun, enjoyable, or remotely redeeming about this game at all. The experience was akin to having a root canal.

    Digimon World Data Squad
    I can see no reason why anyone would want to play this game to completion. In its present form, the game is terrible.

    Myst
    Stay very far away from this port. Virtually any other port will do, but not this one.

    One Piece: Romance Dawn
    Only recommended for those who read this review and still want to buy the game anyway.

    Time and Eternity
    Time & Eternity is by far one of the worst RPGs I have ever played, and even when accounting for different tastes, I cannot recommend it to anyone. At best, a select few may enjoy the game's sense of humor, but I'm convinced that the gameplay is so broken that almost anyone will regret purchasing this game.

    Arcania: The Complete Tale
    If Arcania: The Complete Tale is a product, then it's a worthless one, the sort of game a hundred monkeys sitting at a hundred PCs might create if given enough time. I've rarely encountered a game with such disregard for the power of the human imagination, and I hope no one encourages this by playing Arcania: The Complete Tale.

    Mana Khemia: Student Alliance
    Do yourself a favor, pass on the PSP port of this game and go find a copy of the PS2 version. Mana Khemia is a cute, enjoyable game - just not on the PSP.

    Legends of Aethereus
    Aethereus isn't about the story, the graphics, or the music; it's about gameplay. I won't fault Aethereus for not being something other than what it tries to be, but with questing this anonymous and combat this dysfunctional, I can't recommend it to anyone.

    Left Alive
    A very rough attempt at a survival stealth game that squanders an exciting setting and intriguing cast of characters.

    Montague's Mount
    A broken 3D graphic adventure.

    Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga
    Concluding thoughts: you have to be feeling starved for an RPG on the Wii to want to play this game.

    Laxius Force - Heroes Never Die
    A great RPG at a great price.

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2
    If you played the original, this installment will often feel like more of the same, but with the original MUA being so great, even those times are a lot of fun.

    Dreamscape (2010)
    I liked the game, and I think it's worth a look, but it may not be for everyone. Try the demo for yourself and see if it's right for you.

    Eschalon: Book II
    Instead, I'll say that it means well and may appeal to a breed of old-school gamers. All others, stay away or take my warning that enjoyment will vary.

    Blazing Souls: Accelate
    There are more little gripes with the game, but nothing game-breaking or truly miserable. It's the larger issues in gameplay, combined with an almost indifferent attitude to plot, character, and story that send this game into the realm of nigh-unplayability.

    Laxius Force III - The Last Stand
    So in the end, Laxius Force III provides a satisfying conclusion to this epic trilogy, and fans of Aldorlea's grand-daddy series will certainly be hooked for days, weeks, maybe even months.

    Vagrant Hearts
    Vagrant Hearts is like the average person's first home. It's a fixer-upper with a bunch of imperfections, but it still manages to work its magic on you.

    Curse of Slate Rock Manor
    I always like to support indie developers and stand up for the little guy, but I can't when a product is as unsatisfying as The Curse of Slate Rock Manor. The one silver lining in this unsatisfying haunted house trip is the professional quality voice acting from non-professionals. But seriously, 125% completion in a mere two hours? Shallow plot and characters? Mismatched visual styles? No skin-crawling creeps or jump-out-of-your-seat startles? Sorry, I'm not buying it.

    Sylia
    As a freeware title, Sylia may be worth playing if you're bored and are in the later stages of Mercury poisoning, but buying Sylia at $20 is, well, silly.

    Record of Agarest War Zero
    Overall, Record of Agarest War Zero is a lackluster title that does not bring much to the table for gamers who are not devoted followers of the series.

    Costume Quest
    The decision to make a season-specific game deserves recognition, even if the gameplay and script might lack the imagination required by my favorite holiday.

    Alpha Kimori: Great Doubt - Episode One
    I know it sounds like I've bagged on Alpha Kimori here and there, but it's got it where it counts, and every complaint I have can be remedied. I enjoyed the 5 hours I spent with this game and look forward to Episode 2, which should reportedly drop in early 2012.

    Freedom Cry
    At the end of the day, Freedom Cry is a terrible game.

    Sweet Lily Dreams
    If you're a fan of classic 2D RPGs, then you shouldn't hesitate in picking up Sweet Lily Dreams. It has just the right mix of traditional gameplay and new ideas that make it a joy to play.
