Action/Adventure/RPG Game Reviews
On this page, you'll find reviews for the games I've played and decided to make reviews for :-) You'll get some insight into what I like and don't like in most RPGs, how they impact the gameplay and feel of the game, and generally, you'll see what goes through my mind when thinking of how to design a game. When I'm playing RPGs, I'm not just playing for the fun of it. I'm analysing every feature of the game.

I Plan to Play, and review:
Have played these games, but I don't want to do full review of them.
Ogre Battle |
Tedious strategy game... not fun |
Robotrek |
comical game, increasing your robot's stats... had much more potential |
Rudra's Secret Treasure |
rather fun game, if it were in English, it would be really good. There were 3 main stories. Each story was separate from the others. What you did, had an effect on the other 2 stories, however, it was totally linear. Events took place on "days", so you could be playing one character's "night of day 3" for hours. |
Bahamut Lagoon |
neat strategy game, but in Japanese |
Secret of Evermore |
not as bad as everyone says it was |
Treasure Hunter G |
totally in Japanese, if it was in English, I may have done more in it |
Shining Force |
fun strategy game |
7th Saga |
extremely difficult... and didn't offer many "rewarding" experiences |
The Romancing Saga series |
being in Japanese, it wouldn't be a fair review |
Y's 3 |
Wanderers from Y's. Fun side-scroller RPG |
Pokemon |
Why does everyone say it so addictive? I just didn't get "into it" |
Front Mission |
neat mech fighting strategy game, but it's in Japanese |
Arcana |
ICK, don't even rent it |
The Dragon Quest (warrior) Series |
interesting games, but they never held my interest |
The Ultima games |
horrible games, never held my interest, well I liked Ultima: The Stygian Abyss |
