With the seventh round of the Neoseeker contest Articles of Excellence at an end, our latest winner and first to be featured on what will now be regular articles on GameGrep is Vergil Ties with his review for the RPG set in Space known as Infinite Space. Giving it a total score of 4.0/5, he discusses how despite giving him some mixed feelings, overall it's a good game that's worth checking out.

Platinum Games are starting to become an instant favorite of mine. Madworld was awesome, and Bayonetta was *bleep*ing mantastic! Here, I’m on my chair, thinking “they’re going for a hat trick, I can tell”. Enter Infinite Space, a game unlike the previously mentioned games. Instead of a beat em up (either with fists or with hair blades... go with it), they opted for an RPG of the more strategic variety. It’s not played out like Disgaea or Fire Emblem; it’s more like your typical RPG game, but with loads of strategy incorporated into the mix. Layers upon layers of gameplay build on to one another, managing for a hell of an experience. Some may not like the unforgiving nature of the game or the steep learning curve, but it’s one that opens itself up to satisfaction upon victory after getting the grasp of how it all works. In essence, this game is great!
