When Shining Force II was released on the Wii’s Virtual Console a few weeks ago, Sega fans across North America rejoiced. First released in the 1990s for the Sega Genesis, it is one of the era’s most fondly-remembered games; it is also one of the Genesis’ best-known RPGs. How long are its legs, though? Can it still hold its own in these days of super-powered systems, multi-layered storylines, complicated battle systems, and high-definition graphics?

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon concerns the efforts of Cid and his partner chocobo, aptly named Chocobo, adventurers who are seeking the assistance of Timeless Power, a gem that they plan to use to build an airship. Along the way, the heroes find themselves thrown into another world, Memoria, where those who listen to the bell of the clock tower will begin to lose their memories. Chocobo gains the ability to enter dungeons created by the memory loss phenomenon and restore the forgotten memories, though many of the townspeople are reluctant to remember at first. In this way, Chocobo can help revive the town. Continue reading ‘Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon - Staff Review’ »
When a quirky title comes along, one that I think most people won’t hear about or will more than likely ignore, I tend to jump on it.

A lot of the projects we’ve been working towards behind the scenes for a last few months are finally just about ready to go. You’ve probably wondered what happened to the reviews I’ve been working on during this time. Well…this should probably give you a pretty good clue. Please note that this is only a test. We are not covering Super Mario Galaxy; it was just a recent non-RPG I beat that I figured a lot of people would be familiar with. This is also more of a half review than a full one since I wasn’t planning to post this publically at first. Anyway, the point of this is just to get some feedback before I finish off the real reviews for the games that we do cover, so please leave comments if you have any.
