System Shock 2, Reviews, Poster and Trailer - (USA)
System Shock 2 (commonly abbreviated SS2 or Shock 2) is a science-fiction horror-themed video game, designed by Ken Levine, which incorporates elements commonly seen in first-person shooters and role-playing games. The title was developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios as a direct sequel to the seminal 1994 PC game System Shock, and was released on August 11, 1999 by Electronic Arts. The game takes place on board an adrift starship in a cyberpunk vision of the year 2114. The pla

Inq. of the Week: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year - (USA)
Last Week’s Poll Last week, we asked about what non-RPG content you’d like to see here . A strong pluarality of you want to see more about board games , which is fine with me, since I go off and play board games every week (and occasionally design them). Video games were second, which thanks to MDoggie , we have been trying to get more of here. Overall, you wanted more games, which makes sense, except there was no love for poker, so consider it gone! The mysterious “Other” option somehow

Play This: Sonny 2 - (USA)
Today’s free flash game of the day is Sonny 2, the popular sequel to the even more popular RPG Sonny. The sequel, developed by Armor Games themselves, is one of very high quality, it is challenging and, unlike 99% of the flash games, highly replayable thanks to a really cool attributes and abilities tree.In this second game of the series you will play as a zombie – a really, really powerful one that plans to become the predator from the prey and, yes, with your help, it will manage to reach its

Flash Spotlight: Inquisitive Dave - (USA)
In a refreshing break from the usual spate of Action/Shooter games usually uploaded to Kongregate, we have this little gem of a RPG. Drawn in the style of 90’s RPGs, it is a game that brings a nostalgic moment to older gamers. It may be a bit old now but that doesn’t stop us from still recommending it. Inquisitive Dave’s game play consists of finding item A, use it at location B, and pick up item C there. Some parts require some more interaction, such as the last boss. However, graphics an

A Touch of Fear - (USA)
I wrote a little bit about fear and the role it plays in gaming sessions last week with the promise that I’d share a few of the tricks and methods I’ve used over the years to help instill that sense of fright into my players. Having had some time to review my past game experiences, I’ve come to the realization that, when it comes to scaring the players, I don’t have a set bag of tricks from which to pull from. Like many referees, I often rely on improvisation and the taking advantage of unpl

Dungeon-delving on the cheap - (USA)
The pointy-hatted folks at Gnome Stew brew up a great little blog about tabletop roleplaying games — you know, Dungeons & Dragons and its ilk. Ultra hardcore nerdy stuff. But it’s also expensive stuff. The books, dice, miniatures, graph paper, dry-erase boards — it all adds up. Which is why they Gnome Stew crew is serving up an article that highlights ways to cut the costs — and points out how old-school RPGs can be an inexpensive alternative to other forms of entertainment.

Demon’s Souls: Making The Ultimate ARPG - (USA)
For some unknown reasons, I have great interest in Demon’s Souls ever since it was first announced just before Tokyo Game Show 2008. Not even its generic title and From Software (of Armored Core series fame, which I am not a big fan of) can deter my enthusiasm to this SCEJ/From collaboration. Weekly Famitsu just had a second report on the ARPG, which the developers keep saying is the most traditional of all RPGs, so let’s see what has been revealed so far. Introduction Demon’s Souls is a c

RPG Blog Readership Survey Development Continues - (USA)
I've gotten several words of encouragement and a bunch of additional, worthwhile questions. However, I'm still finalizing the survey and I expect to launch it next week. If you have ideas for new questions and potential answers or want to suggest eliminating a question or rephrasing it, please post a comment. Once I launch the survey I hope other sites will post about it. You can read more about the motivations of the survey here . Below is the planned survey to date: Section 1: BLOG C

MMOs: We’ve gone too far - (USA)
I’ve had a couple of emails sent to me by listeners of SUWT and they’ve inspired this post to come out a little earlier than expected. Quality of life within our MMOs is great thing to have. Things like quicker travel times, solo quests and UI/map helpers have really come a long way to getting rid of the all of the static within the game. The amount of time we spend in MMOs playing is now at point where most gamers can come out of each gaming session saying that they have accomplished somethin

Vir2L Studios Publishing Games on iPhone - (USA)
Early last month Vir2L Studios released Vir2L Base Jumper [ App Store ] for the iPhone and iPod touch. Vir2L Base Jumper , as the title might suggest, is a base jumping game that challenges the player to stay on course. Vir2L Base Jumper recently dropped in price to $0.99 (down from $1.99) and a free, lite version [ App Store ] was just released that features but one suit, one helmet, and one parachute with gameplay in the City high-rise setting, only.

Making a Top 50 games list - (USA)
I just got asked by an old work colleague to hand over a Top 50 Best Games Ever list. What I handed over was my Top 50 games ever, which is a whole different kettle of fish - because I can't say what the Top 50 Evar is as I've not played every game ever made. (Damnit.)Thought you might be interested in seeing it. It's made me realise four things:1. That you can rearrange everything in the middle for an eternity and still never be satisfied. It's the worst puzzle game ever!!2. That there are real

When I die…. - (USA)
When I die, I don’t want my last thought to be, “Why oh WHY didn’t I grind out another thousand AAs when I had the chance?” Etha, 67 Druid, 191d 3h played Tipa, 71 Rogue, 254d 12h played Brita, 75 Cleric, 181d 8h played Tipa, 68 Ranger, 9d 1h played Those aren’t even all my EverQuest characters. Six hundred and thirty five full days playing just across those characters. I could add my 65 mage or 58 shadow knight to that. At eight hours a day, that would be five and a quarter years .

BLEACH The 3rd Phantom: Hands-on impressions - (USA)
One of the two DS titles on show at the SEGA Summer Sizzler was the upcoming Western version of BLEACH The 3 rd Phantom . Now some of you might have to bear with me on this, because I know bugger all about BLEACH - something that two of the SEGA reps told me to resolve post-haste, as they jabbered on about some of the anime’s storylines. Well I did listen to them and have now seen three whole episodes of the anime (woo hoo!). While that might not be enough to be considered an expert on

IGN Gives Square Enix Suggestions on How to "Fix" Their RPGs - (USA)
Over on IGN, Erik Brudvig and Hilary Goldstein, wrote an editorial titled The Gameplay Mechanic: Fixing Square’s RPG Machine, regarding some issues they have found with Square-Enix’s latest RPGs The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery. In this piece, they also mention ways in which they think that Square Enix can improve upon their staple game format by getting with the times and create more of a western role-playing game (WRPG) instead of continually churning out the same ole hat every tim

Valkyria Chronicles - If only I had a PS3 - (USA)
There is a new RPG/Strategy game out for the PS3 and it almost makes me want to go out and blow $400 on a system that I would probably never play again after playing this particular game. That game, Valkyria Chronicles by Sega takes all the things I like about RPGs and all the things I like about strategy games and combines them into one epic adventure filled with tanks, guns, heroes and leveling! That’s all sorts of awesome right there. The story also sound pretty interesting, making it
