| Dawn of War II | THQ (Relic Entertainment) | 2009 | It’s the 41st Millennium in the Sub-Sector Aurelia – a cluster of worlds on the edge of the galaxy – where a battle of epic proportions is about to commence. Ancient races will clash across the planets that dot this sector of space, battling for the greatest of stakes – not only for control of Sub-Sector Aurelia – but the fate of each race. With a focus on fast-action RTS gameplay, Dawn of War II brings to life the science fiction universe of Warhammer 40,000 like never before. Experience the intimate brutality of battle as you play through your chosen race’s epic campaign. Clash with the enemies on battlefield ablaze with visceral melee and ranged combat. Lead and develop your squads from raw recruits into the most battle hardened veterans in the galaxy. Also included is The Last Stand, a co-operative game mode featuring user controlled heroes fighting waves of enemies.***Deviating a lot from the first Dawn of War, this RTS plays more like a tactical-action (Commandos) than a strategy game (even with is touches of Command and Conquer) Pros: -Great controls, even to seem easy to use many units in the field. -Equipment and leveling up: brings some roleplay elements in the development of your team. -Tyranids. -3 game modes: campaign (Space Marines cleansing places), coop defense (pick your hero and prepare to withstands waves of enemies) and multiplayer (a mix between a hero RTS and a MOBA) Cons: -Too many times soldiers adopt stupid covers (like being in the two sides of a trench) 6 of 10***DoW2 is perhaps best defined as tactical RPG than strategy RPG, with RPG elements mostly covering only how good your characters are doing their stuff and the otherwise equipment based system. There's no role-playing to speak of, though.***Tagline: "Your slavery to the False Emperor ends today!"***Latest version: 2.2.0 (as of 2010-04-??) Version history: * 1.3.2 (2009-05-14)***Although the devs/publishers touted a lot about new approach to RTS with the title, the only thing I noticed to be truly new (for the type of RTS DoW2 is) was that your troops couldn't be killed for real. Few units (4 squads total in this case) to somewhat non-linear tactical missions have been done before, although none before in my experience are so lenient on the matter. Your squads can't be killed since only the squad leader is actually important and he can only be knocked unconscious. If all squads become unconscious, emergency evac is pulled and the squads and their leaders are back to full strength as if nothing happened. You lose the turn in the overworld meta-game with a lost battle, but that's hardly anything new. The squad leaders gain experience and level up occasioally, which can be spent on very few areas of interest, and they can be given new equipment which most of the time just makes them more powerful, resilient and generally more efficient. Each map has several teleport beacons scattered around where squads can be re-inforced, 2 secondary objectives which can be completed, and the primary objective. These are invariably(?) placed at the 4 corners of the tactical map. You can perform multiple attacks on single turn if you perform sufficiently well in a battle, but this is usually unlikely on harder difficulty settings. Each map also holds a boss at the primary objective location who usually has 200 times (and more) as much health as the more regular units from the tougher end. On harder difficulty settings these become rather dreary as you spend most of the time resuscitating unconscious squad leaders and doing round-trips to teleport beacons for re-inforcements than actually fighting the bosses. In conclusion, the base tactical gameplay is interesting like in any other tactical game, but all value is lost from the fact that you can practically never lose and success in missions is purely based on how well you manage to keep at least one squad conscious long enough to get the others back up, beyond that, all your great tactical plans are pointless except to reduce the number of times you need to get the squads back up.***2009-01-19 gone gold 2009-01-21 closed beta with Soulstorm owners started 2009-01-28 public beta 2009-04-15 single-player demo released The betas are used to produce a day 1 patch if necessary for the actual release slated for 2009-02-19.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP SP2 or Vista SP1 * Pentium IV 3.2 GHz CPU or any Dual Core CPU * 1 GB RAM (1.5 GB for Vista) * 128 MB VRAM * GeForce 6600 GT or Radeon X1600 GPU * 5.5 GB HD space * 1.5 GB swap file [b]Recommended:[/b] * Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or any Core 2 Duo CPU * 2 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 7800 GT or Radeon X1900 GPU***[b]Factions:[/b] * Space Marines * Orks * Eldar * Tyranids | Windows | labelimagesubject |

Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown.

| Final Fantasy VIII | Eidos (Square) | 2000 | Windows | labelimageminimize | |
| Final Fantasy VIII | Square | 1999 | Ultimate character customization "Junction system" Junction system is G. F. (Summoned Beast, Guardian Force) is a system that strengthens abilities by junctioning items (other than items such as items and weapons) to characters. In addition, remember the junction abilities (attack power junction, defense power junction etc.), you can further enhance the character by junctioning magic (Thunder, Fire etc.) to its abilities. In other words, you can customize characters indefinitely by combining character × abilities x magic.***Final Fantasy VIII, the sequel to Squaresoft's first PlayStation RPG, doesn't feature any of the characters from the original, but it does continue to deliver great gameplay. The story this time centers on Squall Leonhart, a young man in the military who is soon pulled into an adventure that spans the globe. Along the way, other characters can be recruited, ranging from the always-hyper Selphie to the egotistical Irvine. Nobuo Uematsu, who has composed the music for every Final Fantasy game, again scores the music. Featuring 3D characters and pre-rendered backgrounds, Final Fantasy VIII is one of the most impressive looking games ever.*** [31]***Japanese version [31]***European version [32]***Japanese version [32]*** [27]***FF8 is the most controversial from 7, 8 and 9. This is due to the radically different gameplay system. Examples of this include enemies that level with you, requiring component parts to make new weapons, and junctioning magic to make attributes higher. Personally, I loved it. [Haoie]***This is, without a doubt, the worst of the final fantasies. No armor, No shopping for weapons, An extremely annoying system for aquiring gil... These all together could be overlooked, even with the so-so graphics. The Real Killer, though, is the main character. Squall is nothing but an uncaring, insensitive, pompous, conceited, jerk. The fact that he 'gets better' later in the game doesn't matter... If you don't want to get there with him in the first place. [magehound] | PS | labelimagesubject |

| Ys Origin | Nihon Falcom;XSEED (Nihon Falcom) | 2006 | 700 years before the events of Ys I & II, the land of Ys was on the brink of destruction. Demons came in droves and forced the twin Goddesses who ruled the land to whisk their subjects away from the surface, into the safe embrace of the clouds. The demons were persistent, however, erecting a massive tower in pursuit. The battle that raged upon the ground had begun ascending for a second round up above. One day, amidst this turmoil, the Goddesses stole away into the night, vanishing from Ys altogether. And there's only one place they could have gone: the Devil's Tower. A search party of knights and sorcerers was hastily formed and dispatched to the surface in hopes of retrieving these runaway deities. Among its members were apprentice knight Yunica Tovah and troubled sorcerer Hugo Fact. This is their story. Or at least, it's how each of them remembers it. Expanding upon the gameplay elements introduced in Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and further developed in Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Ys Origin perfects the formula by adding different styles of play and new features never before seen in the Ys universe. Best described as an arcade-like platformer RPG with Metroidvania elements and a complex, multi-faceted narrative, Ys Origin is the perfect mix of action, exploration and story. Screen-filling bosses with complex AI, unique platforming elements, innovative puzzles and a deeply involving mystery await within the wildly varied confines of this classic Ys dungeon. Come see how long you can last in the Devil's Tower... Key Features: * Officially available in English for the very first time. * Three unique playable characters in story mode, with additional variations (and characters?) unlockable through other modes. * Five difficulty levels ranging from "Very Easy" for casual players to "Nightmare" for true Ys masters. * Unlockable "Time Attack" and "Boss Rush" modes for anyone looking to show off his/her boss-taming abilities. * Unlockable Arena Mode pits players against massive hordes of enemies for unique gameplay rewards. * Over 40 unique Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud support and hundreds of highly competitive leaderboards. * Minutely configurable high-resolution graphics with true widescreen support. * Fully adjustable controls supporting virtually any USB gamepad, as well as a standard keyboard and mouse setup.***Steam/English release was on 2012-05-31***Prequel to the whole Ys series and the second game that doesn't revolve around Adol Christin (first was Ys Strategy), set some 700 years before the events of Ancient Ys Vanished (Ys 1&2). The chosen character affects the story some, but the played areas and such are the same. Encountered NPCs, including bosses, are not always the same and the dialogue tends to be different even if following the same lines. Some items are found in different places too. | Windows | labelimagesubject |
| Ys: The Oath in Felghana | Falcom;XSEED Games (Falcom) | 2005 | When redheaded thrill-seeker Adol Christin and his eternal blue-haired companion Dogi make an unannounced visit to Dogi's homeland of Felghana after an eight-year absence, it quickly becomes apparent that things have changed dramatically. Hordes of violent monsters roam the outskirts of town, a long-dormant volcano has suddenly sprung back to life and the new lord of the land has begun mercilessly and inexplicably extorting money from its long-suffering citizens. While Dogi seeks out his former combat master for answers, Adol tends to the townsfolk -- and finds himself embroiled in a world of political conspiracies, ancient legacies and unthinkable taboos. A complete 3D reimagining of the 16-bit console classic "Ys III: Wanderers From Ys," Ys: The Oath in Felghana is a fast-paced action role-playing game with tight controls, Metroidvania-style exploration elements, intense combat with epic screen-filling boss battles, and a thrashing, percussive arranged soundtrack that's been heralded by many as one of the best of all time. Based on the original 2005 PC release, this classic is finally officially available in English with added Steamworks features such as achievements and cloud saving. Come see why Falcom fans the world over regard this game as "Ys, Perfected"! Key Features: * Six difficulty levels ranging from "Very Easy" for casual players to "Inferno" for true old-school gaming masters. * Unlockable "Time Attack" and "Boss Rush" modes for anyone looking to show off his/her boss-taming abilities. * Over 30 unique Steam Achievements as well as Steam Cloud support. * Adjustable high-resolution PC graphics with original blood effects intact. * Gamepad support in addition to standard keyboard and mouse controls. | Windows | labelimagesubject |
| Zillion | Sega | 1987 | [33]*** [1]*** [52]*** [49]*** [47]***Are you ready for the ultimate danger? You're alone, outnumbered and there's no guarantee you'll make it alive. You're J.J. Your objsctive: secretly infiltrate the underground labyrinth of The Norsa Empire and steal their plans for domination. Armed with the ultra speed and power of the Zillion Laser, your mission is complex. And sheer strength will not win this one alone. Your'll need more brains than brawn in this sophisticated operation. So, how will you think your way to victory? With cunning strategy and memoru to guide you sussessfully through the maze whitch awaits. Where once inside, you'll find the information needed to destroy the Norsas and restore peace forever.***A large face fills the screen, takes aim, and fires a gun. Up pops the title screen branded with a big gun. For essentially what could be called a thinking man's platformer, Zillion has quite a flashy intro. The game consists of a blue armour-clad guy, J.J., wandering around a giant underground maze searching for his buddies and a couple of floppies that'll blow the place up. You're not just limited to using a blue-haired hero; there's also a weak girlie and a buff guy available when you find them. The multiple character choice is a tad frivolous, especially when it's such a generic mix. | Master System | labelimagesubject |
