It's a great time to be a fan of giant fighting robots, and the upcoming MechWarrior Tactics is a big part of why. It offers a birds-eye view of turn-based tactical combat based on the classic BattleTech RPG franchise, in which the remains of a shattered interstellar empire wage an endless war for dominion over all humanity.

Every once in awhile I get an itch to play an old school JRPG. Most recently I picked up Final Fantasy X -- not exactly the most old school game out there, but it had the grind and sweeping story I was looking for. Still though, there was something missing. I never felt that sense of danger that you feel when first wandering outside of town in Phantasy Star, where every random encounter on the world map can be as threatening as a boss battle. I never felt like I was discovering a world -- I felt more like an actor in a film. While Final Fantasy X is very much a JRPG -- and a very good one at that -- it's not the kind of JRPG that stokes the flames of my nostalgia. It's not the kind that throws you into in a hostile world that is yours for the taking. Victim of Xen is.
I've never read 2000 A.D. The only Judge Dredd product I've ever even really experienced is that god-awful Stallone movie from the early 90's. Despite this, I already feel like I get the franchise. As a character, Judge Dredd feels as universally understood to me as Dracula or Batman - you don't need to have read their canon to know what they're all about. With this in mind, I feel pretty confident in saying that Countdown Sector 106 is exactly the sort of game that Judge Dredd fans will love.
Diablo III was released to plenty of fanfare earlier in the year, but it's time for the other computer RPG founder to take a spot in the limelight. Baldur's Gate, the Bioware-created series, was met with near-universal praise with its 1998 release. Its complex Dungeons and Dragons - based decision engine, deep story, and gorgeous backgrounds helped engrave it as one of the most influential RPGs of all time.
If someone had thrown the term "match-3 RPG" my way five years ago, I would have replied with a quizzical look and a deep understanding that whoever I was talking to was either confused, a moron, or both. Before you think me mad, try to remember: five years ago the world didn't have Puzzle Quest.
Gamebook Adventures, simply put, are the "Choose Your Own Adventure" of the modern era. But there's more to them than just making a choice and turning to this page or that; animations, music, character skills and even physics-based 3D virtual dice are all part of the action. Naturally, this sort of thing lends itself to all kinds of exciting stories, including, very soon, a tale of the infamous Judge Dredd.
