Those hoping for some sort of satisfying closure on the Morrigan storyline in Dragon Age: Origins unfortunately won’t find it here. If you know what that sentence means and find it to be disappointing, then you’re the target audience for this downloadable content. If you have no idea who Morrigan is and why you should [...]

Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker (PC)
Posted: September 11, 2010 in Arcade, PCTags: arcade, pc, rpg
As a huge fan of the Mass Effect series, I have been somewhat disappointed with all of the downloadable content offerings. While the characters have been interesting and the stories well-told, it felt like what happened didn’t matter once it was all over. BioWare has changed that with its latest downloadable content – The Lair of the [...]

If you’re like a lot of us in the IGN office, your commutes to work and free time in general are dominated by Valkyria Chronicles IIgameplay sessions, and even if the massive single-player/co-op campaign wasn’t enough to already keep you playing for months to come, SEGA’s sweetening the pot by giving you free content this week [...]
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep follows three separate storylines. At the beginning, players choose between three different characters: Terra, Ventus and Aqua. These three Keyblade wielders (and close friends) are tasked with defeating the recent uprising of creatures known as the Unversed. Along the way, they’ll encounter some familiar faces and a few new threats. [...]
Maybe it was the name change from the even-more-generic “Heroes of Telara“, or maybe it’s the pretty but ultimately not unique art style, but Rift: Planes of Telara is one of those games that, for whatever reason, has sort of slipped under the radar of the press and the public. It’s kind of a shame, [...]
It’s been a long time coming, but after months of teasing little updates, news about character classes, combat, questing and story, and some tantalizing glimpses of gigantic monsters, I finally had a chance to sit down and play Guild Wars 2. Before we get into the nitty gritty, however, let’s recap: Guild Wars 2 is [...]
“Hear…” a woman’s voice beckons, “feel… think…” The sky goes dark and, in the center of a swirl of clouds, a light appears, only for an instant, then gone. Around you, everything begins to tremble, and you know things are about to take a turn for the worst. The wait is almost over for massively-multiplayer [...]
Simplicity made up for with variety in Fastar!
Posted: August 17, 2010 in iPhone/iPad/iPodTags: action, iphone, rpg
The game amounts to tapping rapidly to kill enemies (they’re literally squares of varying sizes and colors), and gathering money from the destroyed enemies to spend on attack, defense and health. Fastar! would be too thin to be worth even its 99-cent asking price if it didn’t have a variety of game modes that make [...]
Confession: Until Arc Rise Fantasia I’ve never played more than an hour of any Japanese RPG. It’s not that I hate them, but rather that I’ve never been that intrigued by their art-style and what appeared, to me, to be a very slow style of play. Now, after having dedicated innumerable hours of my life to [...]
What a delight to see a developer as talented as Square Enixtake the iPhone and iPad seriously. Chaos Rings, an original adventure created specifically for the iPhone and now up-ported to the iPad, offers the thoughtful, engaging play you expect from Square’s other big-name RPG franchises. Chaos Rings is the saga of the Ark Arena, a mysterious [...]
