Thank You NISA America for providing a review copy of this game.

Every once in a blue moon there is a primarily single-player RPG with an online component. Usually these modes aren’t necessarily important to the game and can largely be left alone. Grand Kingdom is different in that its online mode isn’t some afterthought, but, better yet, a perfect extension of what’s provided in its single player offerings Read the rest of this entry →

7th Dragon III Code VFD

Developer: Imageepoch

ESRB Rating: T

Release Date: July 12th

MSRP:$39.99

Thank You SEGA for a providing a Review Copy

7^th Dragon III Code VFD is the fourth and final game in the 7^th Dragon series, but is the first game in the series to make it over to the west. The big selling point about 7^th Dragon is the fact the games main character and all party members are completely customizable. When you start out the game you are asked to create your main character from one of the many different character models, classes and voices. You do this with all of your party members, meaning you have complete control over how you want to stack your team, and it’s entirely up to you on how you want to play this game.  While, in theory, making all of the playable characters a clean slate could hamper on the game’s overall story, I can say without any doubt that the game’s story is quite enjoyable and will keep you hanging on from the start to finish.

Thank You Spike-Chunsoft for providing a review copy of this game.

Back in 2009 the first Zero Escape game known as 999: 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors was released. While it didn’t sell very well, it ended up being a cult classic, and deemed one of the Nintendo DS’s best games on the system. Series director and writer Kotaro Uchikoshi was given a second chance and released it’s award winning sequel Virtues Last Reward. Of course, awards are nice, but subpar sales are not thus, the series was quietly canceled… Not wanting to be left off on a cliffhanger, fans asked and pushed for the trilogy to at least be completed, and, through a miracle, Spike-Chunsoft decided to green light it. Please note that because this game was greenlit out of fan demand, it is highly suggested that you play the previous two entries first as it’ll be very easy to get lost if you don’t have any background knowledge of what’s happening.

Grand Kingdom is the latest adventure brought to us by NISA that is primarily an online experience. That being said we believed that we could not write a fair and honest review of the game prior to it’s full release. We had intended to have the review up this week, but due to the delay of the physical version of the game we have opted to hold off on it until after the physical release comes out so we can write a review fully based on how the game was meant to be played. We thank you for your patience and understanding!
