A particularly good scroll-and-slay type game. Pseudo-rpg, with character improvements via weapons and equipment.

Decent game. Has a fair amount of complexity but it's manageable. The camera controls somehow don't work for me. A bit repetitive until you get into things properly.. and then it's fun.. repetitive but fun. Crap-assed ending.

An action/adventure type game, with an expansive world to explore, a huge set of skills, a lot of things to do .. and is just generally fun.

Beautiful and artistic. Very forgiving gameplay. A very linear plot. Has some unfortunate mini-games that break the general style and fun.

WOW, what a great game!

It desperately needs randomly-generated dungeons and a more open gameplay concept.

Ya know, I paid a nut for this game.. and it's jam-packed with really wildly passible games. This is definitely a party mix of games.. some of what is found in here was absolutely astoundingly popular in the arcades. The transformation to the console is a bit odd for some, but some of these games are really great. I mean seriously great.
