    .hack//G.U. vol. 3//Redemption
    Due to the unique events that take place in this volume, as well as the great post-endgame quests, I do consider Vol.3 the best in the series, though I also enjoyed Vol.2 a great deal.

    Depths of Peril
    Depths of Peril doesn't care to be a book, or a movie, or a soundtrack. It is simply a game, and it is a great game, so long as all you want is a solid, interactive experience with none of the frills of high-budget PC titles.

    Blue Dragon
    Overall, Blue Dragon offers an above average, traditional RPG, though only the superb gameplay puts it over the mark of the uninspired and average.

    Wild ARMs 5
    With a fairly lengthy main quest and extras galore, at only $40 it's armed thievary.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Jeanne d'Arc
    What Jeanne d'Arc lacks in originality it makes up for in its polish. It's an all around solid strategy RPG that anyone into that genre will eat up and enjoy.

    Dragoneer's Aria
    Even with the dime-a-dozen characters and plot, it was still an enjoyable romp on the PSP.

    Dungeons & Dragons Tactics
    Some hardcore D&D fans will be disappointed by the things left out of the 3.5 ruleset, but any tactical RPG fan who doesn't know about what's been left out or doesn't care will enjoy Dungeons & Dragons Tactics.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
    I loved Persona 3. It delivered an experience that was both novel and familiar, and with the exception of the anime cutscenes and some of the voice acting, did so with excellent quality.

    Luminous Arc
    While this game will not end gamers quest for an irreplaceable Nintendo DS RPG, it can certainly entertain them for 15-20 hours.

    Heroes of Mana
    Let this game serve as a warning to Square Enix: we don't want an RTS for the Mana series. And even if we did, we would only want it if the game wasn't broken from start to finish.

    Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon
    Rune Factory is a great portable action RPG/sim with a vast array of activities and a great addictive vibe.

    Brave Story: New Traveler
    While it may be a little easy and a little childish, Brave Story: New Traveler is an RPG that will appeal to an incredibly wide audience and is one of the first titles to truly take advantage of the handheld hardware Sony has provided.

    Alien Syndrome
    The developers clearly put a lot of love into this game, and in my opinion, it paid off. I spent 40 to 50 very enjoyable hours with Alien Syndrome, and am several hours in with a second character.

    Final Fantasy II
    Perhaps in the course of the nearly 30 hour romp I had through Final Fantasy II, I missed some mystical item that magically makes the game fun and so I was never able to actually appreciate the full worth of the game.

    Riviera: The Promised Land
    Regardless of version, I think Riviera: The Promised Land is a decent JRPG, and it marked a great comeback for Sting.

    Final Fantasy
    It's not that Final Fantasy for the PSP is bad - far from it - it's just that it's nothing gamers haven't seen, and played, many times over.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    GrimGrimoire
    Grim Grimoire is not a deep RTS, but it is a fun one.

    Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth Remix
    I did not enjoy playing Hoshigami: Remix. I did not find it fun. I found it irritating, monotonous, and cruel.

    Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground
    Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground is a mixed bag. Rather than randomize everything, it allows players to create their own world, which is both its biggest draw and biggest flaw.

    Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm
    Though plenty of fun is to be had in Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm, it's also short, slightly repetitive in scope, and lacking a compelling plot.

    Dawn of Mana
    This all goes to show that eye candy and excellent music mean nothing if everything else is weak.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Odin Sphere
    To sum up, never have I seen a game so visually pleasing. If you look past the heavy repetition, Odin Sphere is a fun game with solid concepts, along with a great musical score and interesting plot.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Etrian Odyssey
    Whatever the sentiment, it is clear that Etrian Odyssey is a niche game that is sure to find the hearts of some and draw the ire of others.

    • 76 Critic Score
    Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon
    While it was nice to see some new things for the Harvest Moon series, Innocent Life just didn't give me the thrill I was hoping for. There were some good ideas, but they were poorly executed.

    .hack//G.U. vol. 2//Reminisce
    The plot is compelling, the combat is exciting, and the aesthetics are excellent as always.

    Pokemon Diamond Version
    The addition of an online function in the game has made its replayability soar to new heights.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Pokemon Pearl Version
    Renting won't do justice to the amount of content the games provide and the inclusion of online (though limiting) boosts ups the replay value tremendously. It's simple and engaging for newcomers while catering to long time players. Buy it and go catch 'em all!

    Valhalla Knights
    Valhalla Knights lacks soul.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Super Paper Mario
    The premise may be simple, but the plot is surprisingly good, especially for a Mario game. Part of it is thanks to the excellent localization and likeable characters.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Enchanted Arms
    A lot of people bashed on this game when it was released for 360, and it has seen similar mediocrity in sales performance on the PlayStation 3. However, I stand firm in my opinion that the game is a decent, semi-epic RPG that's worth playing, if only to have such a grandiose tale to play on a next-gen before Final Fantasy XIII.
