I got to say, this month, has been the best month for games. I can'r remember the last time I got so many good games in a month! These are the games I got this month

1. Sacred 2 (action rpg - PS3)

2. Infamous (action/adventure - PS3)

3. Cross Edge (JRPG - PS3)

4. Demon's Souls (J-WARPG - PS3)

5. Crimson Gem Summoner (JRPG - PSP)

6. The Dark Spire (Oldschool 3d rpg - DSlite)

----All of thes games are freakng fantastic, and I am juggling which ones to play. I will play one and then go to another the next day. It's hard because they are all so good. Some may think games like cross edge aren't that great, but I disagree. If you are a hardcore rpg fan, like myself, you will love the game. It's a great game with a killer battle system and depth. Demon Souls is the most atmospheric - realistic and brutal rpg I have ever played! Sacred 2 is the rebirth of the traditional arpg diablo -like game for this generation, it's like a this gen version of champions of Nortath, but on a much larger scale in an open world with humor, and mad co-op play. Infamous, is the action platformer that is so freaking fun and immersive, if you don't know what Infamous is then crawl out from under that rock my friend and look it up.

Crimson Gem Saga is a killer oldschool rpg for the psp, it takes it's route right out of the 16-bit snes and 32-bit ps1 era, it's an epic story of saving the world, but with a unique story and killer character development. The main character is a chavlier who is always 2nd best and has a complex about it, he goes on to have the worst luck and it shows over and over. The story is great and the oldschool turnbased jrpg combat system is excellent. There is an ambus mode that lets you sneak up on your enemies to get first strike, or they can do the same to you if your not fast enough. The chracters really show personality and you grow to love them like you should, just like you used to in most of the olschool snes/ps1 era jrpgs.

The Dark Spire, for the DS, is another throwback to the old days. It takes itself back even further, back to the 1980's and Dungeon Master, Wizardry, Might and Magic games. They were one of my favorite genres back in the late 80's /early 90's and was shocked to find this game at the game store. I didn't even know about it. I seen it on the shelf with this cool box that comes with a soundtrack cd. It is published by Atlus , which usually means it's a great rpg. The game plays in 3d room by room maze exploration, you have to unlock prestige classes later on and have to meat certian requirments like learning skills that are kind of crazy. For example to get the ninja you have to have 10 levels in Theif, 10 levels od Fighter a Dex score of 13+ a Str score of 13+ and the tree climibing skill plus Acrobatics skill (which has even more requirements) There are even hidden player races like the high elf, and dark elf which can only be unlicked when your faith level reaches as high as it goes. The game is so addictive and fun. The music is fantastic and it was great that atulus put the soundtrack in. If you want to go back even further, there is a classic mode where it displays in wieframe graphics, back to the 1st might and magic and wizardy days, in the early 80's. Playing the game in classic mode doesn't olny change the graphics but it also changes the music and sound to use the older midi format. It makes it like a different game. I forgot just how immerisve flavor text can be, making you actually imagine your surroundings. Great game!

Way too many games, I choose to flash out the two handheld games in this blog past a little more, due to the fact that they are less exposed and need more attention, gaming press like to ignore handheld games, but they can be just as epic as any console game. If any of you are rpg lovers you can't go wrong with any of these games, well infamous isn't rpg but its still a blast to play! All in all May was a great month to be a hardcore gamer!

This game is great! I just got my copy yesterday (May 30th). i had to wait over a month for this, I ordered it back in the middle of April, but the Asian/English version was SOLD OUT, EVERYWHERE! That in itself tells you something! It means that the game was bought in its native countries and imported like crazy…when do you hear of a game being sold out, besides dumb gimmicks like wii-fit.

This game is so impressive, when you first fire it up your jaw with drop from the visuals, you will be immersed from the atmosphere and if you are a RPG lover like myself, you will be grinning with joy. This game puts itself apart from everything else, and truly makes the ps3 shine.

Why Sony isn't releasing this elsewhere is crazy…Maybe they thought Americans and Europeans would be turned off from the difficulty and trend of easy-peasy baby games as of late? Maybe they just have too many games to publish too? Who knows, but the Good news is that you don't have to wait for Sony to bring this over, you can import it now or…..WAIT TIL THE FALL 2009….. It has been announced that:
ATLUS WILL BE BRINGING THIS GEM OF A GAME OVER TO NORTH AMERICA THIS FALL!!! Yes atlus has taken over publishing for english territories, and if you are an atlus game fan, like myself, you can bet that nothing will be cut. These guys deal exclusivily with niche rpgs from the East, they bring us some of the best games. Granted the games may not be mainstream, but you know what, that's even better, True rpg fans have never been in the mainstream.

This game rocks, and I highly reccomend it to any rpg player out there, hell even action adventure gamers would like this. Just keep an open mind in this game, because death is a big part of the game, you die, but you get better and try a different approach. It makes your experience points mean something (of course in this game , they can be stollen by enemy players entering your game and stalking you…lol&hellip
