Aksys Games Announces a Limited Edition of Agarest War Zero
Aksys Games announced the release of a special limited edition of Record of Agarest War Zero (PS3/Xbox 360). The game is the prequel to last year’s multi-generational Strategy RPG.

Review: Disgaea (PS2, PSP, DS)
"Archer vs. Shark... need I say more?"
Something about commanding units over a miniature landscape in a turn based fashion gets me very excited. In my younger days, I even created multiple tabletop games. I think my earliest attempt involved moving Star Wars action figures around on a paper grid I had spread across the floor. Those basic ideas evolved into a game where both units and customizable elevation were squares of paper placed on a gridded poster board. One of the games I was working on actually used figures made of bakeable clay with their stats carved into the bottom of the base. Yes, I am a nerd.
But when I found that there was a genre of videogames that could do all the math and pleasing aesthetics for me, I was in heaven. Final Fantasy Tactics really helped instill a love for strategy RPGs withing me. From there I moved on to games like Front Mission 3, which gripped me even more. But nothing could prepare me for that fateful day when I would discover Disgaea.
