GiantBomb 8.0 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PS3)

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning creates an interesting world and gives you good combat options, but the whole thing overstays its welcome a bit.

GameSpot 7.5 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PS3)

Kingdoms of Amalur's combat and character advancement are fantastic enough to overshadow how bland everything else is.

Monday, February 06, 2012

1UP 7.7 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PS3)

Reckoning manages to take a little bit from every RPG, yet create something wholly new and distinct for its debut.

Friday, February 03, 2012

IGN 9.0 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PS3)

Gameplay-lacking RPGs have met their match.

Saturday, January 28, 2012

Game Informer 8.0 Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3)

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Review: Fixing The Little Problems While The Big Ones Get Worse

GameSpot 7.5 Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3)

Final Fantasy XIII-2 doesn't capture Lightning in a bottle, but it's still a fun and heartfelt role-playing adventure.

1UP 6.9 Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3)

This gawky teenager of an RPG makes an earnest effort, but it's no longer one of the cool kids.

Friday, January 27, 2012

IGN 8.0 Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3)

Lightning vanished. Travel through time to find her.

Splitkick 7.0 Dark Souls (PS3)

I’ve commonly heard the world of Dark Souls described as a form of purgatory. This is not accurate. Purgatory is a condition of temporary judgement, a holding cell before final placement in heaven or hell. The condition in Dark Souls is nothing of the sort. After the final encounter is finished and the inauspicious credits roll, you awaken back in your cell.

Splitkick 7.0 Dungeon Siege III: Treasures of the Sun (PS3)

Hack n’ slash RPGs are the chicken nuggets of video gaming. They aren’t the fanciest thing you can buy, but when you have a craving and need something easily accessible, they’ll generally leave you happy and satisfied. Dungeon Siege 3: Treasures of The Sun is a chicken nugget value meal in that way.
