While I haven't finished this game, it's a really captivating, surreal, and an unbelievably cool video game. For a reasonable price, it packs a lot of material that might not have huge implications or life changing but is nonetheless so imaginative that you can't help but replay, battle, strategize and exist within the parameters of the world Lindroth creates. I regularly revisit the soundtrack. I love its design. It's use of color. It is a personal favorite that should be on everyone's radar. For fans, developers and everyone in between. Gamers and enthusiasts of art cannot go without recognizing a game which cements itself as an important part of gaming history. It could be a lot more difficult, but the game is really relaxed. Not uncaring, but melancholic, somber and overwhealmingly cool. Suave, Calculated, and Thoughtful. This game blends a lot of what being an older sibling or someone you look up to is like. Or that's what I imagine it to be, at the very least. In any case, this game holds a special place in my heart and if you should stumble upon the opportunity to play it, you will not be let down. It is the ultimate display of creativity in recent memory. Absolutely, hands down.

Legacy of the Ancients
Legacy of the Ancients"The player takes on the role of a young shepherd who finds and loots a recently dead body while on a first trip to the city, taking a black disk, a bracelet, and a leather scroll. The Galactic Museum mysteriously appears to the player after collecting these items. The player learns that by taking these items, he has become the next in a line of adventurers attempting to destroy the Wizard's Compendium, the leather scroll the player picked up. The museum has various display cases that require the insertion of special coins of various types to access. Some coins can be bought in random encounters with NPCs, some can be found as loot after combat, and some coins can only be found at the bottom level of various dungeons, meaning the player cannot proceed beyond a certain point until that dungeon is finished. Unlike many RPGs, the game does not use an experience point system. The player gains levels only through the successful completion of various quests. The game is mostly in top-down style for the world maps, towns, and castles, but switches to a 3D style in the dungeons and in the museum. Several different areas of the game, like games in towns and certain museum displays, allow the character to play in special mini-games, which, if done successfully, will permanently increase attributes. Also, various casinos about the towns let players gamble to win money. It is also possible to rob banks in cities, but this attracts the attention of the town guards, who will remember the robbery until the player enters another town."

Depth Fantasia
Depth FantasiaDepth Fantasia, Enix's latest massively multiplayer online PC RPG, has had its official Japanese release date set for December 12th of this year. The game follows on the heels of Cross Gate, another MMORPG released by Enix this summer. Depth Fantasia will continue Cross Gate's excellent standards, and will help to further open the online RPG market in Asia. Depth Fantasia allows up to four players to join a party. The party will travel to Ritos Island where they will slay demons, collect Life Gems, and restore order to the cursed land. Players will build their characters based on a class system. As with any other class system, characters learn abilities and then pass them on to more advanced classes. To gain levels, one will need to find Life Gems, or fight another player in a duel. Players will interact with a number of NPCs. These characters all have a unique niche in the world; some examples of these roles include fearsome warriors, mystic sorceresses, and holy clergymen. Each NPC will give the player advice and assistance in completing their quest.
