A young woman sits curled up on the floor of her apartment kitchen. She holds a gun to her temple. Her hands are trembling as she prepares to pull the trigger. This is not how a typical JRPG begins. Persona 3 for the Playstation was one of the most unique and engaging role-playing games of all time with a powerful story, engaging character, and amazing artwork that carried you through 100 hours of awesomeness. We’ve been playing the heck out of Persona 3 Portable (P3P) for the PSP, so we decided to pick it apart to find out how it compares to the original…
Sega has graced our presence by offering a first look at Shining Force EXA. What a long way we have come, oh Shining Force. Starting off as a turn based strategy in 1992, our newest edition of this long running franchise is now an "Action RPG."
Our story begins with a nation torn in war. Two fighting clans have made the world not our favorite place to be. We have a small team of adventurers searching for a magical sword, called the Shining Force. The myth surrounding this sword is that in dark
Wed think that with great power comes great responsibility - as a wise man once said to a fledging superhero - but Shining Force EXAs Toma could care less about the fates of rival countries Noswald and Fyrlandt. At least thats what it seems like when plucky, young Toma yanks the Shining Force – the most powerful sword in the land – out of a rocky cavern all King Arthur-style and is bestowed not only said great power but a freakin castle – the appropriately titled “Geo

Theres never been a game that truly captured the The Simpsons essence. Not that thats stopped them from being successful - Hit & Run was one the all-time biggest selling PS2 games. So when The Simpsons Games Executive Producer Scot Amos began work on EAs first crack at the license, he knew that the only way forward was to rip up the yellow rulebook and start
In an announcement that will likely send more than a few Nintendoggies to the pound, EA is letting several different breeds of The Sims 2: Pets off the leash in October.
Your addictive sims family won't be complete until you've adopted one of over 40 breeds of dogs and cats that you'll be able to customize, breed, train and dress up. Highly trained pets can even take jobs in the service, show business or security industries as seeing-eye dogs, circus acts or ferocious attack... kittens.

If sweeping away clumps of dog hair or mopping up cat pee puts you off ever owning a pet, then The Sims 2: Pets might help. Of course, it's also perfect for Sims fans who want pet action in their daily digital lives - though sadly you can't relocate existing families to this new game. But pet life without the mess isn't to be sniffed at.
Sims 2: Pets gives you more animal options than an RSPCA warehouse. Do you want mixed breed or pure breed? Long coat, curly coat? Would

The Sims 2: Castaway, or "Sims 2: Guess where the idea for this came from," as we're renaming it. Clearly a Sims game - we'd recognize that mix of skill building, house construction and clothes making anywhere - EA have ignored Ubisoft's Lost license and made their own version of the TV show.
Washed up on a beach, the name of the game is building a community with mysterious "other" Sims (read: the Others). A more plot-led experience this time, reaching certain skill milestones

Sly and the gang are back for a thieving adventure through time itself. But how does the franchise fare when it's not being worked on by Sucker Punch? Find out in our extensive hands-on preview...
When you think of viable franchises to wrap around yet another World War title, Peanuts is probably last on the list. Yet here it is - and you know what? It makes sense. Snoopy's always been dreaming of taking down the Red Baron, so why not let a new generation act out that decades-long dream? Snoopy vs. the Red Baron is clearly aimed at the youngins, but from what we've seen there's actually some decent dog fighting to be
