Synopsis The Alchemist of Arland is a classically styled role-playing game, set in a realm of alchemy and magic, with turn-based battles and complex character development. Based on a long-running Japanese series, it is the fourth console game in developer Gust's Atelier series to be released in North America, and the first developed for PS3. The game's graphics employ cel-shaded 3D characters and finely detailed 2D backgrounds, to create the effect of playing through a high-definition anime feature. Combat plays out with each character and enemy making its attack in turn. Positioning is not important in the abstract battles, but using the most effective attacks at the right times, against creatures with different elemental strengths or weaknesses, can make a significant difference in a...

A popular series in Japan, Baroque makes its U.S. debut as an action role-playing game with dark, religious overtones. Players will journey into a foreboding tower filled with horrific monsters, mutated humans, and mysterious angels. The world is essentially a distortion of reality that finds everything in a constant state of flux. How this happened is a complete mystery -- as is the lead protagonist's past. The only thing the protagonist knows is that he must venture into the Neuro Tower to atone for a past sin. He can save the world, so he is told, by battling the bizarre creatures lurking within each randomly generated room and reaching the tower's bottom floor. To defeat the monsters, these so-called meta-beings, players will be able to find and use an assortment of weapons and items... Less

Choose your side, fight the invasions, enter the RIFT. In this massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), you'll adventure in the world of Telara as either a noble Guardian or technomagical Defiant and enter a dynamic fantasy where eight primal forces battle for control in an ever-changing landscape.

Online support is also included, but in a different manner than in other role-playing games. Players that have journeyed through parts of the land can leave behind hints and messages that subsequent travelers will encounter. You'll also be able to replay death scenes from unsuccessful heroes, warning you of the potential dangers lying ahead, and even attempt to invade another person's game to cause mayhem. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide.

Venetica is a role-playing game where Scarlett, the daughter of Death must learn how to develop her powers and save her father from an evil necromancer.

The next-gen console version comes packed with bonuses in addition to the genre-expanding original Half-Life 2 game. Half-Life 2: Episode One and Episode Two add-on levels are also on the disc, as are the stunningly complex puzzle game Portal and the online phenomenon Team Fortress 2.

Touted as the first 'realistic' computer roleplaying game when it first hit the market in 1992, Darklands received critical acclaim but was also blasted for being released too early. The game was full of bugs, and went through several patches before it could be considered completely playable. It remains one of the true classics of early 1990's roleplaying games. If you enjoy 'classic' roleplaying games such as Wizardry or the Ultima series, you would do well to give Darklands a try; you'll need a DOS emulation program such as DOSBOX to play on modern computers, and be sure to download and apply the final game update before you try to play.

Death's daughter, Scarlett, journeys into the heart of 16th century Venice to stop an evil necromancer and his undead underlings in this action/role- playing game from German developer Deck 13. Scarlett can equip axes, swords, war hammers, and other weapons to slay her enemies. Combat involves pressing a button to swing, and then timing subsequent button presses to string together powerful combos. Scarlett can also enter a spirit world at any time to move without being seen as well as communicate with the dead. The action takes place predominately within Venice, as players explore the city's five districts and underground catacombs in search of ways to reach her tyrannical target. As she defeats enemies, Scarlett will earn skill points that can be spent on various magic and melee... Less
