    Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts
    Granted, Dungeon Explorer lacks some of that proper execution, particularly with the graphics and the storytelling, but overall, it's not a bad game.

    Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts
    If you enjoy grinding to unlock classes, and the experience of playing as different classes is more important to you than random loot drops, you could very well have a lot of fun with this game.

    Lost Odyssey
    To say that Lost Odyssey is a bad game is to do it an injustice. It's not a fun game, though, and maybe that's the same thing.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon (Special Edition)
    Innocent Life would be more of a game for a casual gamer or, because of the ease of difficulty, maybe someone just starting out in the series.

    Professor Layton and the Curious Village
    It was a novel hybrid game that felt very familiar and comfortable.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom
    So in the final analysis, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom takes a bunch of decently designed aspects and mangles them into an unfun experience.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    Warriors of the Lost Empire
    Warriors of the Lost Empire is a game you'll want to like, but only hardcore fans of the hack & slash genre will have a very easy time forgiving its flaws.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Mass Effect
    If you pick up this title, you'll get a face full of space opera, with decent combat and lots of character interaction, and if that's your thing, snatch up this game pronto!
    • 81 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
    While Revenant Wings may be little more than a handheld equivalent to Final Fantasy X-2, it does what it was meant to do quite well.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Orcs & Elves
    The problem with the DS incarnation of Orcs & Elves is that it doesn't give enough incentive to buy it over, say, a $5 download for your cell phone.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Avencast: Rise of the Mage
    If you're looking for a short, fun, single-player romp through magical realms on your PC, this game is a great choice to satisfy that urge.

    Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker
    If you're a fan of the genre and appreciate the ability to challenge others in battles, you'll do well with Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker. Otherwise, you'll just find a mediocre game with silly dialogue.

    LifeSigns: Surgical Unit
    However, if you want a Phoenix Wright style visual novel that's set in a hospital where surgeries are there to accent the character interaction, then definitely check out Lifesigns: Surgical Unit.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
    Even though this is not the definitive strategy RPG of our time, like some have labeled games such as Shining Force, Final Fantasy Tactics, or Disgaea, it's pretty damn close.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Hellgate: London
    For all the twisted, macabre, death-worshiping crap that's found in this game, it only makes sense that the game itself should suffer a terrible fate.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The Witcher
    This intangible attribute of the game is difficult to put into words, but Geralt's personality, the mature humor, the bizarre characters, and the sex and drugs combine in odd ways to create a game better than the sum of its parts.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
    Afternoon of Darkness features a fast startup time, even faster game loading times, and almost unbelievably fast level loading times (under 2 seconds), all of which just add to the many reasons why this port is a great fit for the PSP.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations
    It ranks as my favorite installment in the trilogy. The gameplay brought nothing new to the table, but playing it for the plot and characters has left me more than satisfied.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Naruto: Path of the Ninja
    There isn't much here that has not already been done in Japanese RPGs before and if you keep up with the Naruto manga or anime, there is nothing you haven't already read or watched before.
    • 72 Metascore

    Front Mission
    This game brings both style and content to the table. It doesn't pretend to be anything greater than it is: it's a very straightforward Strategy RPG.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
    With vibrant visuals, excellent music and voice acting, a deep and complex gameplay system, and one of the best storylines ever to grace a RPG, Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions is one of the few must-have titles on the PSP, not only for the RPG aficionado, but for any gamer in general.
    • 75 Metascore

    Folklore
    Since the RPG library on the PlayStation 3 is currently lacking, RPG fans would do well to at least try this game out. The game isn't epic, given its relatively short length, but it is everything RPG fans would want from a short title: fun, challenge, mystery, and an incredible story.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Touch Detective 2 1/2
    Therefore, the bottom line is that if you could not get into the original Touch Detective, 2 1/2 will not change your mind. However, if you enjoyed the first game, you'll definitely want to pick this one up.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
    Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass was a fun game. On top of that, it was creative and used the DS in ways that really showed off the potential of the system.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Soul Nomad & the World Eaters
    The changes has its ups and downs, but NIS has produced another fine game. The game has a sluggish start, but it picked up the pace by the end.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Growlanser: Heritage of War
    Save your money (or spend it on "Persona 3," Atlus fans!) and skip this mediocre mess. [Import]
    • 43 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    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.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Digimon World: Dawn
    Give this one a chance, especially if you're into this unique brand of games. If you were surprised by the quality of the new Pokémon games, or if you're a long-time Digimon fan, this might be a game worth playing.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Digimon World: Dusk
    Give this one a chance, especially if you're into this unique brand of games. If you were surprised by the quality of the new Pokémon games, or if you're a long-time Digimon fan, this might be a game worth playing.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Eternal Sonata
    While the musical presentation was excellent, the gameplay passable, and the controls well executed, the horrible job with the story and the disappointing graphics dragged down the game a lot. Add in the short playtime and you have a game that is a rental at best, but definitely not a purchase.
