So what we missed?

Wow, I haven't updated this in forever. A few reasons for this:

1. New job... kept me fairly busy
2. My Xbox 360 has been having problems, I'm not a Wii fan, and I'm on a PC all day at work so don't do much PC gaming nowadays - so all in all I haven't been playing a lot of games. However, when I get my Xbox 360 fixed and find some time, I have several games piled up that I really DO want to play.

Anyway, since the last time I updated Just-RPG has posted all sorts of cool stuff. Here's just a peak:

• Asda Story Screens
• Demigod Screens
• Atlantica Online Screens
• Disgaea DS Trailer
• Two Worlds Epic Edition Screens
• Brave Story Review
• Just-RPG Looking for staff
• Wizard 101 Screens
• And Much, Much More!!!

I managed to dig up all sorts of good reading material over the weekend. As the holiday season approaches we're starting to see a LOT of different gaming releases. Fortunately, it looks like a lot of the big ones are pulling out good reviews.

Jolt/RPGDot Review Loki - Their verdict is that it's an average action RPG.

IGN Rates Eternal Sonata - An early review for this highly anticipated Xbox 360 RPG. They award it a solid 8.3 out of 10! Looks like this is beating out Blue Dragon for best Japanese RPG on the 360.

Heavenly Sword Reviewed by GameSpot - They praise the game for its looks and action, but criticize it for the short length. Overall, though, they give it an 8.0 out of 10, so not shabby at all!

Soul Nomad & The World Eaters on AllRPG - AllRPG rates this PS2 RPG a solid 7.0.

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology Reviewed by AllRPG - A second review from AllRPG, this one covering a PSP RPG. A similiar score of 7.5 is awarded.

CVG Interviews Molyneux about Fable 2 - The head of Lionhead talks about the upcoming Fable 2 and life at Lionhead.

CVG Reviews Two Worlds - The review covers the PC version of the game, which is supposed to be somewhat superior to the Xbox 360 version. My experience is with the 360 version, which is highly flawed but very addictive! CVG rates it 7.3.

IGN Takes a Look at The Witcher's Races - A look at the various races gamers can expect to encounter in The Witcher.

Trapped in Gaming Fantasy Land!

So I've been neglecting this Blog the last few days. Fortunately there hasn't been a lot of noteworthy RPG news as of late, so it's not like you've missed anything.

I've been distracted by two recent gaming releases, Two Worlds and BioShock. Just-RPG will have full coverage of these two games shortly, but for now, here's a few thoughts of mine.

BioShock... well, it's every bit as great as what all the reviews are saying. The graphics are gorgeous, the gameplay is deep and intelligent, and you'll find yourself immersed in the game's eerie atmosphere. This is a must play for pretty much everybody!

Two Worlds is both highly flawed and highly enjoyable. There are a lot of frame rate problems and the interface is clunky on the Xbox 360. On the other hand, the character building is deep and allows for plenty of customization through stats, skills, equipment and magic power ups. The world is also massive and filled with quests to embark on and areas to explore. So far it's a lot of fun, but probably best suited for hardcore RPG fans.

That's all for now. Like I said, Just-RPG will have full reviews of both games in the coming weeks. Considering how lengthy it is, the Two Worlds review may take some time. With any luck, I'll be able to pull myself away from these games long enough to do some updates over the next few days.

Where's My Newsletter?!

Just in case anyone has been wondering why they haven't been receiving the weekly Just-RPG newsletter lately, I have an answer for you!

Unfortunately, we've been having some technical trouble with our newsletter and it is temporarily unavailable. With any luck our newsletter will be back up in time for our next issue, but that remains to be seen.

Rest assured, the Just-RPG newsletter isn't gone... it's just on hold. Stay with Just-RPG and RPG-Geek for more updates.

8/20/07 Links

Just a quick few links that I came across today. Although, I'm not sure when they were published.


IGN's BioShock Review - I already linked their Xbox 360 review, so here's their opinion on the PC version. Of course, it has high marks.

AllRPG's Alien Syndrome PSP Review - They give the PSP version of the RPG a very mediocre 5.0. The game didn't receive a lot of coverage, so this might be worth a read.

AllRPG's Wii Alien Syndrome Review - Apparently the Wii version is even worse!

08/19/07 Links

A whole bunch of BioShock reviews are starting to roll in, and they're making the game look really nice. I can't wait to get my hands on it!!! Oh, and I found some other interesting stuff too...

IGN's BioShock Review - The first of many reviews of the game. This one has a very impressed 9.7 grade.

GameSpy's BioShock Review - A perfect 5 out of 5. A lot of great things to say about the game, and few complaints. They feel the game is a tad on the short side, which seems to be a common complaint.

1Up's BioShock Review - Not suprisingly, another perfect score. They give it an excellent 10!

Fallout 3 Preview on CVG - Computer and Video Games take a look at the upcoming RPG sequel from Bethesda. Fallout fans will want to read this one because there's a good deal of info here.

Rune Factory: A fantasy Harvest Moon Review at IGN - Harvest Moon makes its way to the DS in a game that IGN is calling one of the best of the series!

Blue Dragon Reviewed at GameSpy - A final grade of 8.0, similar to what IGN gave the game a few days ago. I had higher expectations, although 8 is still solid.
