Review: Fire Emblem

"Back in 1990, one of Nintendo of Japan's R&D teams - soon to become known as Intelligent Systems - created a swords n' sorcery-based strategy game with many RPG elements. It started the trend of grid/square movement-based combat that has been used from everything from Shining Force to Disgaea. Needless to say, the game was hugely popular - popular enough to spawn 7 titles to date.

It is the latest installment that proves to be the lucky number for us Western gamers, as we can finally play one of Nintendo of Japan's flagship series in English. However, it comes at a time when similar games are crowding the marketplace - With Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Onimusha Tactics available, and with other RPG-style titles like Sword of Mana coming soon, is Fire Emblem worth the investment of your time and money?

The answer is a resounding yes"

Fire Emblem is fantastic, and that review really nailed down why. Go buy it!

Who the Hell is this "Zero" character?

Well, whoever he is, he sure knows his games.

She and you should know her.
She did the Japan interviews with me earlier in the year.

Right . . . because I read them . . . really, I did.

IC so TNL gets exclusive interviews with Yuzo Koshiro, Smilebit and AM2 and you dont even read them?

Uh, did I say I didn't read them?

Then you should have known that she is a she.

STOP BICKERING!!!

What else does Ali do?

*rimshot*

Thanks kids, I'll be here all week. And yeah, Zero and Ali get all the cool interviews; I know Ali got dibs on Miyamoto while the rest of us were regulated to Nintendo PR. Those kids in DK suits scare me...
