Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga – PS2
Is this the RPG you've always waited for? 15 August 2006 13:00 GMT

The Good
Good story line, Easier to approach that normal RPGs, some nice touches - notably the block feature in battle mode

The Bad
This is only part one so be prepared for a cliff hanger, if you aren't into RPGs this isn't going to help change your mind

Verdict
If Japanese hardcore RPGs are your bag, then this is pretty much the best example of recent times. If not, avoid like it’s your mother in law

Neverwinter Nights - PC
16 December 2003 11:24 GMT

The Good
60hrs play, million sales =good support

The Bad
Aside from needing the add-on packs, none

Verdict
It?s sold a million and so has the mission packs, if you're into RPGs this is a little like FIFA- sells well to the fanbase. Newcomers get the boxset.

Plenty for RPG fans

Turned based combat will annoy some, slow to load in parts, dated graphics

Dated graphics and lots of reading mean that this is unlikely to appeal to the popular masses and certainly not a must have for the PSP community

Is this the blockbuster Microsoft claims? 19 August 2008 14:00 GMT

The Good
Graphics, character development

The Bad
Control mechanism, camera angles, crackpot storyline

A worthy spin on Dungeon Siege? 26 August 2008 18:00 GMT

The Good
A few decent ideas, easy to get to grips with

Marvel Ultimate Alliance - Xbox 360
X-Men, Spidey et al. come to the console 21 November 2006 13:00 GMT

The Good
It’s all the Marvel heroes (yay) and baddies (boo) together in game form, plays a damn good game of action RPG goodness, adds some helpful features to the genre melting pot

The Bad
Lacks an extra level of graphical sheen, not for haters of the Marvel comics, slightly clichéd story

Verdict
If you love your action RPGs, this is a cracking example. So we say give this a try. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it gives the old style a gorgeous spin

Price

Does this hack and slash entertain? 10 February 2009 16:00 GMT

The Good
Tries to tell a decent story, lots of hack and slash action

The idea of Dynasty Warriors action with more RPG elements sounds like a match made in heaven. It’s not

Can the latest instalment offer anything new? 6 November 2008 16:00 GMT

The Good
Huge atmospheric gameworld to explore, lots of lengthy side missions, fantastic character development options

A large scale RPG dripping with atmosphere and including more options than you usually see in an entire series of titles

Price
£49.99

Good versus evil, what will you choose? 24 October 2008 9:00 GMT

Price
£44.99

Great animation and mixture of stealth and action. Good story and cut scenes holds the attention

The Bad
Repetitive, no multi-player, outclassed by Baldur’s Gate

Verdict
More action adventure from the team behind LOTR The Two Towers, but with a Dungeons and Dragons flavour. Unoriginal, short and yet somehow entertaining.

Price

Soundtrack, graphics, gameplay

Fancy fantasy hack'n'slash? 21 January 2009 16:00 GMT

The Good
Huge battles, multiplayer options help

Price
£44.99

Can this latest episode work on the handheld games console? 10 March 2007 9:00 GMT

The Good
Plenty of bad guys to beat, buy and sell your loot

Where Dungeon Siege fails is that it falls into all the same traps of its predecessors
