Half Minute Hero Review

8:40AM Stephen Totilo | Have you ever had your intelligence insulted or your time wasted by a Japanese role-playing game? This one won’t do either. Half-Minute Hero, XSeed and Marvelous Entertainment’s unusual, experimental role-playing game is smart, sharp, surprisingly long—given its title—and sloppy in a way that somehow doesn’t break the game but instead makes it all the more charming.

Wizard Of Oz Preview: Partying Up With The Tin Man

4:30AM Stephen Totilo | Thank goodness the new Wizard of Oz game for the DS doesn’t closely follow the movie’s plot, because this reporter, who played the game recently, could never get through that movie. More »

Marvellous And XSEED’s E3 Line Up – RPG Goodness

3:40AM Mike Fahey | Marvellous Entertainment USA and XSEED games are teaming up for E3, showing off their line up of upcoming titles together as one united force of goodness. While the focus is mainly on the Nintendo DS and Wii, there is a PSP game in the form of RPG sequel Valhalla Knights 2 to spice things up. The name of the game here is RPGs, and the two combined have them in spades. For the Wii they’ve got three outstanding offerings – Rune Factory: Frontier, which takes the RPG/farming sim combo from the DS games to the console market, Avalon Code, a new RPG from the team behind Rune Factory and the Final Fantasy III and IV DS remakes, and the recently announced Little King’s Story. For those of you with a low tolerance for hit points, the dynamic duo will also be showing off XSEED’s first DS games, Populous DS based on the classic PC game, KORG DS-10, a music creation program, and Retro Game Challenge, a mini-game title based on the Japanese Game Centre CX TV series. Perhaps these three non-RPG titles will calm me enough to keep the Rune Factory fan in me from dry-humping their booth. More »
