Check out Bright Hub’s comprehensive review of the Playstation Network version (for the PSP and Playstation 3) of the classic role-playing game, Xenogears.
The ESRB has released several new PSOne Classics, including Vagrant Story and Xenogears, that will be coming soon to the North American Playstation Store.
"While all PS1 Final Fantasy titles (not including anthologies) have now made it onto the service, as well as big titles from the Wild Arms series, Grandia and Suikoden, there are still quite a few must-haves that have yet to find their way into this current generation of gamers' hearts."
In the latest episode of the DualCast we discuss Xeno-gears as well as its successors such as Xenosaga and Xenoblade. Sword vs Guns, which are best for RPG and why? as well as RNGs aka Random Number Generators. Give us a listen and let us know what you think!
Sony’s Ro Hernandez provides an update to the possible re-releases of Suikoden II, Vagrant Story and Xenogears on the North American Playstation Store.
"When Electronic Arts announced their plans to produce a video game based on the literary classic Dante's Inferno, gamers were outraged by more than just the title's uncanny resemblance to the God of War franchise. Question the literacy of those who indulge in our hobby all you want, but the generally negative reactions that greeted the interactive adaptation of Dante Alighieri's epic poem speak well for our kind's classical training. To the credit of these dissenters, Visceral Games really d..."
GameDaily gives its own take at which RPG style is superior in the categories of the classic RPG, the MMORPG, the tactical RPG, the action RPG, most emotionally engaging (contains FFVII and Mass Effect spoilers), and the overall winner.
Though you might not agree with everything stated, it is an interesting read on a topic that continues to spur the interest of RPG fans.
Square Enix is undoubtedly one of the most popular game developers. But while series such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest recieve all kinds of sequels, prequels and spin-offs, there are many classic Square games (such as Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Chrono Trigger, Brave Fencer Musashi, etc) that haven't recieved the sequel treatment they deserve.
Dualshockers.com believes Square Enix should start looking into reviving some of their older games.
"Since the company was founded in 1983, Squaresoft has had a reputation of making good-quality video games. Since its first title to hit the North American market (Rad Racer back in 1987 for the NES) and through today the ratio of high-quality to low-quality games has greatly skewed toward the former. The company is now known as Square-Enix thanks to a merger with animé, manga, and video game company Enix."

Our friends over at 1up take a comical look at how 5 prominent religions are offended by video games. With the recent LittleBigPlanet Scandal - this is becoming a growing issue.
Note - I do not intend to offend anyone by posting this, it is for satirical and comical purposes only. Any sort of flaming and bickering within the comments will not be tolerated and dealt with accordingly.

Racketboy has browsed through the plethora of games in the Playstation library and weighed out the defining elements - things that molded the system, and console gaming for years to come.
This is much more than a list of the best Playstation games, it goes into elements that changed gaming as we know it. These are the quintessential video games.

"The Japanese role-playing game is a surprisingly important genre for developers to study - both in terms of gameplay and storytelling, and Gamasutra presents an 'Essential 20' explaining and chronicling the top JRPGs of all-time.
