Abstract: I'm going to sound like an ass saying this but I think it's safe to say that the NIS efforts for the PS3 have been a little bit, underwhelming. Cross Edge wasn't very good, Trinity Universe was a slight improvement, and I don't even want to talk about ...
Abstract: The eleventh entry in Gust’s niche alchemy franchise is also the first to be released for the PlayStation 3, utilizing 3D graphics in place of the series’ traditional 2D sprites. A direct sequel was released in Japan earlier this year, but I guess the...

Atelier Rorona is a must own for anyone with a PS3. It’s charming, serene, and although it is a very laid back JRPG without any angst or world-threatening dilemmas, it has one of the deepest and most dynamic stories I’ve ever encountered in a RPG, East...
Abstract: Gust Corporation isn't well-known outside a small circle of devoted Japanese RPG fans, but their games tend to be better than appearances suggest. Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland follows that same pattern -- an anime-styled RPG with lush visual...
