  • Vanguard Bandits (Review) Playstation 3

    Posted by on December 12, 2011 under PS3, Reviews
    Vanguard Bandits is a  tactical isometric role-playing game with a sci-fi twist. It’s very rare to find a role-playing game done in this fashion. Most role-playing games stay with one theme. Vanguard Bandits is a well-rounded role-playing game that follows suit with other RPGs like Vandal Hearts. You fight on a grid (similar to a checkerboard) and you are only allowed to control (move) one c... more.

Unlike most shooters, Kyuiin is very unconventional in... more.

Unlike today where consoles like the Playstation 3 are region free, gamers then had to endure regional locks that prevented Japanese games from working on their hardware. As it's historically known,  Japan has been noted for developing some of... more.
