    Pure Gold plated Gold

    This game is quite possibly one of the greatest rpgs ever. It takes everything and just sets the bar even higher. It mixed kickass attacks with childish graphics and characters to create a unique and unforgettable experience. You start out as Ness(Protagonist) in the little town of Onett and you travel from town to town(which are numerically ordered i.e. "one"tt, "two"son,  "three"d, "four"side) meeting new people and discovering new powers.

    Graphics 10/10-Classic snes rpg look. It has its unique character models that never fail to make me laugh.

    Gameplay 10/10- It's smooth usually and in some places god-awfully hard, but you need those difficult experiences to truly enjoy what you are playing. Once you reach the end, you will be so satisfied with what you have accomplished because things were difficult yet rewarding rather than other games where you can wipe the floor just by using a basic attack on every creature and boss in the game.

    Story 9/10-You meet random characters that say really random and funny tings that will make you laugh, but as a main story it keeps you intrigued. You will just be sitting there and out of nowhere something happens and you will just be like..oh crap whats going on. On occasion though, the story does go into slumps where nothing really makes sense and you are looking for something that seems impossible to find without much direction, but then you find what you need and you are back on your way.

    If you are a fan of rpgs or just getting into them you should definately check this game out. One of the most important rpgs to have ever come out, without a doubt. haha it rhymes

      I'm going to assume you're reading this review simply because you have played the game, loved it, and want to hear other people gushing about it because you have no one else to talk to about how great it is.  Your family doesn't understand what made you spend the last 80 hours holed up in your basement, but that's not important.  You just finished the greatest game ever made.  Ever.If by some cruel twist of fate you have not had the opportunity to play this game, you owe it to yourself and to th...

      Retro Review: Earthbound 0

                                                                        Hippies? Check. Weapons and psychic powers with which to beat them? Double check. In the heyday of the Super Nintendo, there were many games that surfaced with the status of a “triple A” title. While there was still a lot of shovel-ware on Nintendo’s second try at a true system it was not to the extent that we have now with the Wii and had with the Gamecube. This also meant, with so many great g...
