Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (ps2) Reviews


Recently released for the European market, sequel to the original Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, Silmeria is a 30 hour 2D feast for the senses with plenty of replay value, collecting a score of 84% from 39 reviews on Metacritic.com, another classic hits the Ps2.

Reviews Summary
Short by epic RPG standards, but it also makes the game that much more replayable
A difficult and lengthy game built for loyal and determined role-playing adventurers.
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria is a breath of fresh air in a world of play-alike RPGs
Some one of the most technically and aesthetically pleasing visuals we've seen thus far
Not everyone's going to love the transplanted platform puzzler elements, and RPG purists might be turned off by the wafer-thin town exploration
One of the best games in the PS2 library
If you can get past the stiff difficulty, it has all the elements of a great RPG with its intriguing storyline, compelling combat and deep game mechanics
To put it simply, it's gorgeous in every respect, even though it's only in 2D.

Seamus the Leprechaun here, guest blogger on the Merry Gamer. Now I know what your thinking the little lads gone too far this time. Not that it's the first Barbie Doll ever featured on the elderly gamer mind you, but it is the first Barbie Doll a Leprechaun like myself would have a legitmate reason to purchase as a memento of a bygone era. If your still puzzled why this above all the Barbie Dolls would take my fancy well take a look a the video. Ah!! if I could turn back time indeed.

Two Worlds Reviews (xbox 360)


The hype was breath taking, "Oblivion on Steroids", the reality far less than expected. With a score of 49% from 14 reviews on Metacritic.com

Reviews Summary
There's a lot to Two Worlds that will take you an eternity to complete.
It's rare that a game releases that is so shockingly incompetent.
Fans of old-school PC games such as Diablo will find plenty to entertain them
This game doesn't feel rushed. It feels like it was done by amateurs AND rushed.
Epic scale and depth of content make Two Worlds worthwhile.
It's possible to get used to the random hardships and persevere, so it's not a complete failure.
Those who have been waiting for a quality role-playing will be sorely disappointed
