Gears of War follows the story of Marcus Fenix, 14 years after Emergence Day when Dominic releases him from his prison cell. The War against the Locust has escalated and the COG (Coalition of Ordered Governments) needs all the help they can get so Marcus joins the Delta Squad lead by lieutenant Kim and is given the mission to search for and protect Alpha Squad whom they have lost all contact with.

Battle System: As with any Third-Person Shooter this game is free based combat in which you can move to different areas to gain a advantage over the enemy. The game allows you to take cover in front of anything from a pole to even a car door as a shield to defend against oncoming weapon fire. You can then, from cover make a Swat Turn and move to a different area as well as perform a Cover Slip and Roadie Run to get closer to your goal without taking much damage.

Weapons: Throughout the game you will come across many weapons to use. You can get a Pistol, a Shotgun, a Sniper Gun, Grenades and the main weapon of choice for all COG'S, the Lancer Assault Rifle, a gun with a chainsaw attached to it to tear an enemy in two. Another weapon you get is the Hammer of Dawn, a weapon that uses a satellite to send a Imulsion Bean killing everything in its path. You can also take control of Troika's (Mounted Machine Guns) that you find to use against the enemy.

Locust's: The creature's that are trying to destroy all of mankind. The most common Locust you will encounter are known as Drones. They Emerge in large numbers and try to overwhelm you before you can do anything. There are other Locust's such as Boomers who bring in A Grenade/Rocket Launcher and can kill you with a single shot. Another one is the Corpsers which look like large spiders who's only weak-spot is it's belly which you never see since its stays halfway underground. These are Locust's you will be needing the Hammer of Dawn for.

Rouge Galaxy is one of the few RPG's that live past the expectations of people. This game follows the main character Jaster Rogue as he ventures from planet to planet on a pirate ship in search for the greatest treasure ever to exist.

The game starts as you are on the planet Rosa and are gathering animals for food and to do work. Upon your return you eventually notice a giant Salamander in the Residential Area. A man comes to help you fight it but does not reveal his name he leaves before the fight but he gives you his sword. Simon and Steve find you and notice you have the rare Seven Star Sword, so they assume you are the Legendary Hunter Desert Claw. Together with Simon and Steve you defeat the giant Salamander and you are invited to join the Dorgengoa crew on the Dorgenark.

Upon arrival they leave due to giant Sand Worms but Kisala saves your life. As a new member you must now prove yourself and help Dorgengoa on his quest for the legendary planet said to hold the secrets of a highly advanced and a vanished civilization along with possessing enough wealth to buy the galaxy.

Battle System: The battle system is free based but it has a few twists to it to make it harder. There is a Action Bar at the bottom of the screen and every so many attacks or special move you use you wont be able to attack for a short time after that. During this period of time you cant attack but if you guard against a attack you can act immediately. The battle is different from other games as you have different weapons that can only damage certain enemy's. Some enemy's need to be attacked a certain way to do any damage at all such as a charge attack or jumping and hitting them in the head.

The armor you obtain also changes the characters looks. Some of these can be bought but the better ones have to be created, won in battle or by completing a side-quest.

The weapons are also completely upgradable. To make a better weapon you need to simply combine two swords or two guns or any weapons from the other characters together to make a better one.

Insectron Battles: This game features a game where you can capture, mate and raise insects to do battle inside a Colosseum. The insects are found all over the many different world you travel and once obtained can be feed and do battle with you other insects to get stronger. they can then be entered in the tournament to see how strong they are.

Our Review

Final Fantasy VII follows the story of a young man named Cloud Strife, and the friends he mets along the way. During Cloud's childhood he dreamed of becoming like Sephieroth, his childhood hero, and set out to become a Solider of Shinra Inc.

The game starts out near a Mako Plant where you must set out and destroy it to save the earth from the Shinra company that is slowly but surly destroy the earth.

As the game advances you learn what happened to Cloud in his past as a Soldier and if weather his past was a real one or not. You come across two secret characters in the game and they are Yuffie (a ninja) and Vincent (a genetically altered human).

The battle style in this game is Active Time Battle in which the characters speed will determine how fast a characters turn comes in order to get another attack. This game is still the basic menu based system as all the other Final Fantasy's. Final Fantasy VII is the first Final Fantasy to feature 3D graphics in the series.

In many people's opinions Final Fantasy VII is possibly the greatest Final Fantasy ever created. Final Fantasy also has what is considered the best boss ever in a Final Fantasy game and his name is Sephiroth.

Final Fantasy VIII took the series to new heights in terms of graphics and in game play. With a intriguing storyline to protect the people you are close to and fulfil your duty you take off and met many different people who help you on your quest to defeat the Sorceress who is tring to destroy the world.

Final Fantasy VIII follows the story of a young mercenary from a Elite Garden Force called Balamb Garden and his name is Squall Leonheart. Unlike other Final Fantasy games where you get money from defeating enemy's in this game your rank of battle determines your Seed Rank and you will recieve money on your journey depending on that Rank.

Squall Leonheart is a man who cares about no one except himself. Due to his past he does not wish to get close to someone so he does not have to feel the loss if they leave him. Through the story Squall changes and falls in love with one of his contractors named Rinoa.

In order to save the girl that he now is in love with he must defeat the Sorceress from the future that is controlling her in order to make the future the way she wants it to be. This future Sorceress is named Sorceress Ultimacia and have on several attempts taken over a past Sorceress in order to meet her goal including a person who all the characters know and has a hard time fighting.

The battle system in in final Fantasy VIII is Activate Time Battle. The battles are still all menu based and the characters speed determines who goes first. The one major difference in this game from the others are the way you obtain a weapon. You must upgrade all the original weapons and make them stronger this also allows you to obtain a new Limit Break skill.

Our Review

Final Fantasy IX is one of the most underrated entries in the world's most beloved RPG franchise.

This game follows the story a young man named Zidane who is planning to kidnap the 16-year old princess Garnet Til' Alexandros early on in the game. Instead of kidnapping her, she asks them to take her because she wants to get away from her mother who has been acting very strange. Eventually, she decides to change her name to Dagger in order keep her Noble Birth identity a secret.

The battle system of this game is also a Active Time battle system. The characters of the game are allot younger than usually but the game set on the same bases as any other Final Fantasy game out there. Something instantly noticeable from the first battle is that there are 4 chararcters in battle instead of three like the usual Final Fantasy's.

More than any other Final Fantasy game, this one is influenced from past additions to the series. Everything from the look, story, feel, and characters themselves draw from the past (Most noticeably Vivi and the Moogles).

Our Review

The return of Kingdom Hearts is here and is much improved. Kingdom hearts 2 follows the story of Sora after the Game Boy Advance game called Chain of Memories. If you have never played this then the story of Kingdom Hearts 2 will not make much sense to the player.

At the beginning of the game you take control of a character known as Roxas, a young boy who has a striking resemblance to Sora. You spend 6 days with him as you try to find out what has been happening in the town with all the strange occurrences that everyone belies Roxas is behind so you must find proof of your innocence.

Kingdom Hearts II follows through the story of Sora yet again two years after the events of Kingdom Hearts 1. Sora and his two friends Donald and Goofy continue there quest to stop the heartless as well as fight a new enemy called Nobody's and the people who seem to control them calling themselves Organization XIII.

Along the journey you meat up with a lot of familiar faces from the first game as well as many new ones. If you hadn't played Chain of Memories the newest faces will be the people who are wearing black coats. These men are your enemies and along the way you will find out who they are and what there intentions are.

As you awake you realize that you have been asleep for a very long time and you need to find out what has happened. You seek out king Micky and find Micky's teacher who gives you a new set of clothes as well as the first Drive change, the ability to fuse with your ally to gain power.

Battle System: The battles in this game are very different from the original game. This battle system is a lot more fast paced and the new Drive Form system makes it all the better. There are a total of six forms and they are the Heartless Form, Valor Form, the Wisdom Form, the Master Form, and the Final Form. The Final form and the Heartless form are tricky to get because for the Heartless form you need to have anti points by getting hit and then use the Drive Change the moment you are struck. The Final form is a form that you can obtain at the end of the game by random chance by Drive Changing allot.

.Hack//Infection follows the storyline of young boy named Kite as he starts a virtual game called "The World." When you enter you find his best friend Orca, who shows you the way around the world. He takes you to a dungeon and teaches you the basics of the game. When you reach the bottom of the dungeon Orca is attacked by a monster and later on you find he went into coma at the very same time in the real world.

This starts your journey off as you set out to find Orca's attacker in hopes it will bring him back. You meet up with your first companion, Blackros,e who joins you as she has also lost someone. Together you meet other companions and get closer to the truth as a mysterious person named Helba helps you escape from CC Corp deleting your characters. You also meet Balmung of the Azure Sky who believes you were the one that hurt Orca because of the power you posses.

Battle System: The battle system is free based in which you can move around in order to attack your enemy's. Kite is the only character that you can take control of but you can give your party members commands for them to attack, other wise you set them to battle plans and they will act on there own accords. Each class of characters has there own type of attacks as well as elemental basis in there weapon to due extra damage. Magic is also usable through equiping diffent weapons. Most enemys have a elemental weakness so elemental weapons are good to have at all times.

Grandia 3 follows the storyline of a boy named Yuki who dreams of becoming the worlds best pilot. Yuki finds himself falling from his aircraft because his mother climbed aboard and made it to heavy to stay in the air. On the ground he found a girl named Alfina and chose to help her escape from the men who were chasing her.

Through the story you must find Alfina's brother and stop him from destroying the world. You later learn that he is being controlled and must stop the beast in order to save him.As you continue through the story Yuki and Alfina falls in love. With this Yuki will not give up on her brother and continues on his way to rescue him no matter how hopeless it may seem.

Through the story you gain 4 other allies in your journey. There names are Ulf, Dahna, Alonso and Hect. Each character is unique in there own way and there story's are told later in the game. Miranda, Hect and Alonso only stay with you for a limmited amount of time in the game so you really only have 4 characters

Battle System: The battle system of Grandia 3 follows a ring with the character icon revolving around to get his/her turn. When the characters turn comes along there battle screen comes up. Each character has different magic and skills depending on what you equip them with, each character also has about four special moves. There are two types of attacks and they are basically Normal and Hard hits. Normal hits twice so its fast and can allow a next turn faster. A hard hit only strikes once but it can knock enemy's off balance and and can be connected with a another hard or normal attack by another character to create a Aeriel combo move which can do allot of damage.

Mana Eggs and Skill Books return in the third instalment as well. Mana Eggs give magic boosts to element's of the character they are equipped to. When the power is extracted you can give a character high level magic abilities. Skill books give characters passive abilities in battle and can be a great help.

Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Cerberus is Square Enix's second attempt of a sequel. The first was X-2 and now this. Square Enix has decided to do something new for once and has created Dirge of Cerberus as the first Final Fantasy FPS (First Person Shooter) game. The main character of this game is not Cloud (although he does make a appearance) but instead its Vincent Valentine, a secret character you could get in the original.

This story takes place three years after the original game and one year after the movie advent children. The story is about the people who call themselves Deepground. These people are like Vincent who have been genetically altered and have set a goal to destroy all of man kind for imprisoning them and making then non-humans.

As the hero you take up your gun and you must defend the world from Deepground. Along the way you meet up with Tseng From the Terfs who gives you a lot of insider info because he uses Cait Sith to go undercover and find out the truth of Deepground. Trough the story you find that a monster deep within Vincent (Chaos) is trying to get free and you must learn to control it.

The battles are fast paced and at most time you can have up to fifteen enemies to face at one time. You must use the left analog stick to aim as you use the left to move out of enemy fire. Throughout the game there are areas that you must save a certain amount of people and for doing so you obtain items and many other things. You can also level up but only by beating a chapter or dying halfway. You obtain points which you can change for experience or for Gil.

Weapons: The weapons obtainable in the game are Cerberus (Shotgun), a machine-gun and a sniper rifle all of which are customizable to fit your certain needs in combat. There are many equipment items that decrease the weight of the weapon or increase the speed in which they fire.

You can also use Limit Breaks that allow Vincent to transform into the Galian Beast and do a large sum of damage, however you can only do so by using items so it's recommended to hold the item for boss fights as there aren't that many to be found in the game.
