review | 12/22/02 | GF! Back Catalogue 10/2004 => 1995
JoWood Productions has made a great showing for us at the end of the year.

Hardcore PC RPG fans should be very happy about this. Click here.

review | 11/01/02 | GF! Back Catalogue 10/2004 => 1995
Larian Studios and CDV have teamed up to bring us what is probably the sleeper PC RPG hit of the year.

Click here.
game: Icewind Dale II
review | 10/16/02 | GF! Back Catalogue 10/2004 => 1995
Interplay brings us the last RPG to use the Infinity engine. A bit of silence is in order. OK, now we can make a whole lot of noise about Icewind Dale II. Utilizing the Third Edition AD&D rules set, it isn\'t the prettiest RPG out there, but it is one of the biggest and best. Click here.
game: Dark Age of Camelot Shrouded Isles
preview | 09/18/02 | Shawn Rider
See that pale mofo over to the right? That\'s an Inconnu, one of the three new races in Dark Age of Camelot Shrouded Isles, the major expansion to the hit MMORPG title. Featuring three new races, three new continents, six new classes, and a graphics engine overhaul, DAoC Shrouded Isles should be incredible. Click here.

review | 08/20/02 | GF! Back Catalogue 10/2004 => 1995
Capcom\'s venerable Mega Man returns for his second spin in a GBA RPG. Mega Man Battle Network 2 puts you in the shoes of LAN, an average boy who just happens to use a virtual Mega Man to keep the Net safe from evildoers. Click here.
game: Lost Kingdoms
review | 07/26/02 | Matt Baldwin
The Gamecube has been devoid of RPGs, and that makes many gamers sad. Fortunately, Activision has stepped in with Lost Kingdoms, a strange little RPG that uses a collectible card game battle system. Sound strange? It is. But it\'s kind of fun, too. Click here for more.
game: Warlords Battlecry II
review | 07/20/02 | GF! Back Catalogue 10/2004 => 1995
Ubi Soft and SSG bring us some old-fashioned isometric perspective, but the gameplay in Warlords Battlecry II is completely modern. Incorporating some RPG elements not only increases your investment in units and characters, but adds a twist that makes this already really fun title into an addictive must-play RTS. Check it out here.
game: Moto GP
review | 07/20/02 | GF! Back Catalogue 10/2004 => 1995
THQ and their developer, Climax, have done a bang-up job on their latest motorcycle racing sim. Benefitting from some RPG elements and a huge array of bikes and riders to choose from, Moto GP looks to become the Gran Turismo of motorcycle racing. It\'s a lot of fun, and really, really pretty to look at. Click here.
interview | 07/18/02 | Aaron Stanton
Aaron Stanton was lucky enough to get some quality time with one of the legendary figures of gaming. Known for his eccentric qualities, including adventure vacations and his alter ego Lord British, as much as for his foundational role in creating Ultima Online and continuing participation in MMO projects like Lineage, City of Heroes, and Tabla Rasa (working title), Richard Garriott is THE man right about now. With MMORPGs at an all-time popularity high, and many new titles entering the fray, Garriott was kind enough to chat about his projects, game design, why consoles won\'t succeed online, and much more. Get the interview here.
game: Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
| 07/13/02 | Shawn Rider
Bethesda Softworks gets the prestigious honor of gracing the Xbox with its first RPG. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is a great start for the system, and a wonderful example of how cool RPGs can be. Eschewing the Japanese tradition, Morrowind should throw many console gamers for a loop in the best possible way. Click here.
game: Gladius
preview | 07/01/02 | Shawn Rider
LucasArts decided to take a fantasy-oriented route with Gladius, which pits you against gladiators in arenas from Rome to Hades, but the liberties they\'ve taken should only disappoint those Classics majors and Roman Empire buffs. The rest of us might enjoy hurling fireballs at our foes. In an RPG-style strategy type game. Sounds fun.
game: Shadowbane
preview | 07/01/02 | Aaron Stanton
Ubi Soft and Wolf Pack Studios have teamed up on a seriously ambitious MMORPG. Shadowbane promises to put players in control of a world and have that world stay interesting and dynamic. Impossible? Maybe. But playing characters with wings is pretty dang sweet. Click here for a thorough rundown.
game: Breath of Fire II
review | 06/23/02 | Matt Baldwin
Capcom brings us another phenomenal RPG for the GBA, and thank goodness. Breath of Fire II is a worthy successor to the franchise. While next-gen RPGs are few and far between, this old-school SNES port packs some classic gameplay in a tidy, pretty, and portable package. Click here.
game: Earth and Beyond Online
preview | 06/19/02 | Aaron Stanton
Westwood Studios and Electronic Arts are finishing up a MMORPG that has us interested. Earth and Beyond breaks out of the fantasy confines to explore the nether regions of the universe. It looks amazing, plays cool, and we can\'t wait to get our hands on the release version. Click here for more.
