Symphonia is multiplayer fun
Although a bit hard to follow at times, Tales of Symphonia goes a long way to combating the RPG dearth of the GameCube.

Fun's not Invisible in this War
Although many might argue it is not as good as its predecessor, DeusEx: Invisible War is a lot of fun, and breaks out into the console world too.
Hack, Slash, Repeat
Our coverage of multiplayer console games moves this week to Dungeon & Dragons Heroes, a fun yet weaker entry into the category.
Fallout Is The Bomb
Moving away from the RPG interface of the PC, Fallout Brotherhood of Steel on the console is a two-fisted foul-mouthed gritty hack and slash adventure.
Champions Conquers
Champions of Norrath is a perfect example of what a console RPG can be, both online and off. For PS2 owners, this one is a must play title.
It’s Baldur’s Gate Too
Dark Alliance II takes everything that was great about the original and makes it even better. It’s a nearly perfect console title.
Relief for the 50’s
Do you have an EverQuest character stuck in the quagmire that is levels 50 – 60? Relief is on the way! I am a long time player of EverQuest, that had moved on to newer games (not because EverQuest is a bad game but I spent four years in Norrath and it was time for a change). I had a few characters in the low 50’s, level wise, and had been struggling with advancing them. I came back to try Lost Dungeons of Norrath to see if this would help the situation and to see what seems to be the … Continue reading Relief for the 50’s
Kung Fu-tastic
Blade and Sword takes the extremely popular top-down Diablo-style gameplay to new levels. And while Blade and Sword will surely remind you of countless other similar titles, it will also become a unique favorite of players who like this type of gaming. This action RPG takes place in ancient China, and is heavy with unique martial arts moves from that country. You can play one of three different characters, each with a different emphasis. One is more stealthy and quick, one is strong and powerful and one is kind of the middle of the road knight-type warrior. Blade and Sword … Continue reading Kung Fu-tastic
Knights Rule
When I was growing up, my friends and I would be the first in line to buy any new games put out by Lucas Arts because we knew they would be a lot of fun. Over the past couple of years, if I was not reviewing the game, I have found myself waiting to see what my fellow reviewers had to say before deciding to go to the store. Playing Knights of the Old Republic reminds me of the good old days when I would be waiting in a long line at the game store. This is the best game … Continue reading Knights Rule
Evil is so Good
When I first heard that the classic Temple of Elemental Evil D&D module was being made into a computer game, I was enthralled. This was a module that took about an entire summer vacation to complete, back in school when a summer vacation meant an entire summer off, and not just a week or two. Starting at first level, our entire group was at least fifth by the time we were done. So of course I was ready to return to Greyhawk and find out if everything was as I remember it from those many years ago. The biggest change … Continue reading Evil is so Good
