Xseed Games and developer Nihon Falcom Corporation have done something phenomenal. Their latest title Ys Seven is both a satisfying old-school-styled action RPG and an easily-digestible portable title. While the game might not win any awards for originality, this latest entry to the Ys series has plenty to offer both for series veterans and newcomers alike.
What happens when the torch passes from one ruler to another? In some video games, [players] get an idealized order of events when succession takes place. Perhaps a hero vanquishes a corrupt ruler, an heir that is much better suited to the task steps up and everything is suddenly well again. With Ys VII, [players] get a slightly more realistic take on events. When the worst happens in Altago, things don’t go from a king to the preferred heir.

Eternal Sonata--bought it on Saturday---ARGUABLY one of the most amazing games I've ever played in my LIFE.
From OSV: "The results are in. This is one of the toughest processes any of us here at OSV have had to go through, but we’ve finally come to a list and ranking that we can all at least kind of agree upon. No, I’m kidding. Even though we each fought for our individual favorites, we all stand behind the results, and we hope we can turn you on to some new music that you may have missed this year in the process."
I'm hoping Amazon will put the limited edition of this as a deal of the day so I can pick it up :).
damn great review.
Happy that a classic style game can still stay fresh. :)
