Teletext writes: After our criticism of Heavy Rain it's a sobering experience to see a more traditional example of video game storytelling.
Especially one with equally traditional gameplay that nevertheless fails to save the game from mediocrity.
Indeed the remedial effort made in plot, dialogue and voice-acting illustrates exactly why Quantic Dreams were right to try to shake things up.
Grab your longsword, shield and round up the fantasy archetypes - there are Ice Dragons afoot!

I am kicking things off by going back to a familiar well here - with a song from the Neverwinter Nights soundtrack. This is still arguably one of my favorite music scores in a video game ever, but I decided to lead off with it and then create something of a theme as I decided to pull all of this edition's songs from RPG games.
Neverwinter Nights (PC) - Battle - Forest Boss
I touched on the somewhat mystical quality of another Neverwinter Nights song last week when discussing City Docks Day. There were a lot of really good battle tunes in this one, but the Forest Boss song always stood out in my mind. The battle itself was not even the most memorable one, but right around the one minute mark, it reaches an epic level that just stuck with me.

B-But FFXII isn't last-gen. I'd love to see it remastered regardless though. Brilliantly fun game, I just disliked the story unfortunately.
I really would like to see a HD Remaster of both Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword. Those games deserve to be in HD
Are you saying that they could make Ni no Kuni look even better, because I would like to see that.

Ok now that is stupid, they are mentioning a completely different type of game in their review, and the only link between them is that they are PS3 exclusive. Also, these guys seem ridiculously unprofessional, they don't even know that it's Quantic Dream, NOT Quantic DreamS.
Anyway, I've been playing the game, and I like it a lot more than Star Ocean 4 and Infinite Undiscovery. There are definitely some problems, too many cutscenes (but good that you can skip), and a few user interface issues, but other than that it is pretty good. I'd give it 7/10 personally, the Geonet feature is pretty cool, and I can see it sucking a lot of my time.
Especially Sony exclusives. Can they be more transparent?
Another mediocre review for WKC.
So the question is....... which is FLOPPIER? WKC or Last Rebellion?
How about we let the FLOP-O-METER decide.
No winner, it's a dead heat, they're both as crappy as each other.
Another for the pile... *sigh*
