And Bioware disappoints.

Expected and justified, of course, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing. How can you go from this? to this? lol cleavage lol actual clothes lol half-naked scarred Asian stereotype

Urg. That description made me cringe.

I actually love Chinese mythology and Wuxia, but my main gripe was that JE pretty much bastardized/Westernized it. The main character designs are mindnumbingly awful. Of course, "it's only BASED on ancient China if the legends were true lol", meh.

Well, the Limited Edition had extra fluff and cost the same. And wow, those numbers dropped really quickly.

Wait, since when did Magical Volo threads begin to have a point?

Those are mutually-exclusive? Boycott time!

Haha, B&W2 was hyped as both 'the best RTS ever' and 'the best god game ever' all in one sweet package. Now it's as if it never existed.

"So, were you conceived by Midichlorians too?" gets them every time.

That's not Nick and me.

I don't want a teaser I want the game now lol

Wuxia series (well, good ones, anyway) usually hook me till the end. The latest good one that enthralled me throughout is this one: http://www.phimvietnamonline.com/nhac/xdaht.wmv

Shut up. I wrote this myself.

The problem with reviewing an MMORPG is that it is an ever changing game that is one way when reviewed, but completely different and fixed by the time you, the reader, play it. Most of the time this is true, so let me tell you about Runescape as best as I can. Runescape sets out to blend the best of Real-Time Action with the RPG feel of games like Everquest and Dark Ages Of Camelot. Overall, it accomplishes this feat, but falls short in a few areas. Graphically the game is good for an MMORPG. Unfortunatly, with games like Everquest 2 on the horizon, the age of crappy looking MMORPGs is almost over. While it stands up well to todays graphics, if there is one thing I have learned in RPGs is that it doesn't have to be pretty to be playable. And playable it is. The interface is very well laid out, giving you the most important options in close proximity to where most of the action takes place. The controls of the game are straight forward point-click-mine-attack-create-sell-buy-etc. While it gives newer players the ability to catch on to the MMORPG craze, it lacks the complexity that hardcore RPGphiles hunger for. You know, the kind that spend hours leveling up their ability pee on a bush. Yeah, those kind. And for those kind of people, they sure as hell can spend hours upon hours of leveling up their various skills in this game. Your choices seem almost limitless to what you can achieve and do in this game. And every item that you get has a price value that can allow you to sell on the market. Thus helping the robust player created community that you find. And when it comes to other players, as this is an online RPG, you will find tons of them. Be they arrogant f***-tards or very helpfull people, there are TONS of them in Runescape. The community feeling will have you coming back again and again to this game. The PVP is insane at points, but what do you expect? Its an MMORPG. Story-wise, the game gets a bit hookey, but the ever changing world gives the developers the ability to improve on this so it should only get better. That doesn't just go for story, just about every thing will improve over the course of time, molding Runescape into a good contender against other MMORPGs. All in all though, if you over do yourself in this game, you will get bored quickly, because there isn't many newer things to do after a while. But you will find yourself coming back to upgrade skills and work your way up the ranks in level. While this game isn't in a spot as contender for game of the year, it is a decent title that any MMORPG fan should atleast give a try once. I give it 7.3 MCAs out of 10!

Yeah, games don't take millions to make nowadays, lol

Hmm, the Black Hound as a series of Digital Distribution mods would be instant purchases from me.\ Heck, I'd pretty much support anything JE churns out.

Unless JRPGs eventually decide to improve their storytelling and actually take advantage of gaming as an interactive medium, I'm better off just watching anime. FFXII isn't something I'm really looking forward to. I'm not saying I wouldn't play it if it suddenly popped up along with a PS2, but I'm not going out of my way to play it. When a game caters to bunny-ears furry lovers - and I've heard enough 'man, Fran is HOT' comments - it is *not* a good thing.

If you have a GBA, get Fire Emblem, and its sequel, Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones.
