Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Genre: First-Person Action RPG
Players: 1
Console: Xbox 360/PS3/PC
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
TestFreaks Score: 9.6/10

Bethesda is a video game company known primarily for its development of one of the biggest first-person action RPG game series in the world, Elder Scrolls.  With their track record of primarily awesome games and their renown in the world of RPGs, extreme quality is most certainly expected from any game that they produce.  When it was announced that Bethesda was going to take the reins for a first-person iteration of the popular Fallout series for current-gen consoles, there was a mixed response from the gaming community.  Isometric turn-based RPG purists were disgusted that Fallout 3 would not be receiving the Diablo treatment again, and fans of the Elder Scrolls series rejoiced as Bethesda was embarking to create another game so much like thier beloved series.  I was in the latter of the two categories, so my expectations for this game were quite high.  Was Bethesda able to deliver on all of the hype surrounding their newest RPG?

Are you ready for the zombie apocalypse? Have you ever seen George A. Romero?s Day of the Dead, made way back in the 80?s? How about the latest remake?

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (PC)

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Developer: CDProjekt RED
Publisher: Atari
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
Players: 1
Genre: 3rd-person real-time RPG
Hours played: A Ton

The original Witcher game received many awards including RPG of the Year from IGN, PC Gamer, GameSpy, and GameSpot.  CDProjekt, hoping to further this great success, recently released an entirely updated version of the game with improvements covering essentially every aspect of the game.  80% faster load times, vastly improved graphics, new quests, and all-new dubbing in 8 different languages are just a few of the improvements that were put in to enhance the original award-winning game.  This is all quite impressive, but does the game fare well under the Usagi’s metaphorical gaming microscope?

Warren Review: Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Grimoire of the Rift (DS)

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Square Enix
ESRB Rating: E 10+
Players: 1
Hours Played: 120
Progress: Finished main story line (250+ quests completed)

Final Fantasy being one of the most popular Role Playing Game franchises of all time has created many a spin-off. One of the most revered is the Final Fantasy Tactics series, which began all the way back in 1998 with its US release on the PlayStation One. Since then a remake was created in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance), with a further enhanced version appearing on the PSP in 2007 (Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions). Now turn-based strategy fans can lose more nights of sleep, as the GBA sequel receives a much anticipated follow-up with Final Fantasy Tactics A2 on the Nintendo DS.

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Developer: DICE
Publisher: EA
ESRB Rating: T (Teen)
Players: 1-24
Hours Played: 20
Progress: Completed the game

The Battlefield franchise is well known to PC gamers, as it has a solid reputation amongst massive-multi-player shooters. Although not new to console gaming, the series has taken an abrupt turn to a story driven, single player game (don?t worry there is still a considerable multi-player component) with the arrival of Battlefield: Bad Company.
