               <description><![CDATA[Aveyond: Lord of Twilight

	At this point, I think that we (the independent gaming community) have just about perfected the classic RPG genre. There has been a swell in RPG-maker RPGs lately, and they've been only increasing in quality. A fine example would be the latest in the Aveyond series, Aveyond: Lord of Twilight. 

	It's not really proper to call this game Aveyond 3, since this is but the first chapter in this particular installment of the series. But it's still 10 hours, which is a f...

Tradewinds Odyssey is a game that takes a little bit from a bunch of genres: resource management, strategy, adventure, and even some RPG elements are thrown into the mix. It's hard to pin down exactly what T.O. is, and that's why it stands out. You don't know what to expect, especially during your first run through, but it stays accessible throughout. 

In Tradewinds Odyssey, there are six playable characters (two of which you have to unlock) and six storylines. Ea...

Conquest is a turn based tactical strategy game in the most basic form.  It is not, for those afraid, a wargame.  I would put this game one tactical step higher than Risk, which is about the least tactical strategy game there ever was.  That isn't to say Conquest is without merit or appeal, heck, look at how popular Risk is!

Conquest is, at the core, a giant game of 3 tier rock, paper, scissor.  Cavalry beats archers, archers beat spears, spears beat caval...

At first glance, Light of Altair seems to be a casual little resource-management game in space. Then, you play the game and watch in horror as your colonies fall to economic pieces. Yeah. That happens. Basically, Light of Altair takes a concept that normally would encourage laid-back gameplay and gives it a good ol' injection of STRESS (in a good way). 

In Light of Altair, the idea is to manage planets. Colonize them, mine their resources, establish trade, keep the p...

Imagine this: School's done for the day. You're about to head to an after school club activity, when BAM! Aliens invade your institute of higher learning. You, being the upstanding citizen that you are, do not call the authorities. That would be absurd. No, instead you (along with your science club pals) decide to wage war against the invaders. And you do battle with SCIENCE. Oh, yeah.

Dark Souls is an RPG that sticks it to the man: no funny business, just classic turn-based battles and an epic storyline. If this sounds familiar, it probably is, since that's the same formula that old-school RPGs have been using for a while now. If it isn't broken, don't fix it, right?

The game is made using RPG Maker XP, so it's very much like playing a traditional Final Fantasy game. The battles are simple and effective: fight or flee, basic attack or magic, use an ite...

	Oftentimes, games borrow ideas from one another. While it's a perfectly fine thing to do, there's a problem: they all tend to feel the same. For example, while I played Virtual Families (from developer Last Day of Work), I couldn't help feeling like I was playing a knock-off of The Sims.

From there you select one of 5 different planes and equip it with a variety of special abilities and begin the general mayhem.
