Beloved classic ideas merge together to form: Pure Evil.
I’m a sucker for retro. Give me some faux-8-bit graphics and some simple game mechanics and I’m hooked. Make the game challenging where I have to force myself to hone reaction times and I’ll put in hours to rack up high scores. Combine two classic game types into some new great thing and I’m likely to be smitten for months. Enter Wizorb with its Dragon Warrior RPG aesthetic and Breakout style battles, and I was drooling. That was months ago. My drool has long since dried, and now so have my tears as I’ve come to accept that Wizorb is just too damn difficult.
More than a cookie cutter.
When Sony announced Playstation All Stars, fans of the developer and its long list of exclusive characters let out rounds of applause. Unfortunately, that applause was followed by a mildly depressed sigh of remorse for a game that looked to steal major portions of the Super Smash Brothers battle system.

Coming to the PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360's digital venues in early 2013.
The menu system is about as tough as saying the name of this game correctly.
When given the opportunity to play a new game by NIS Software, the role playing game player has to jump at the opportunity. With such inventive, intellectual properties in the genre, it would be difficult to see a lackluster effort coming from the creators of the Disgaea series. But, I'm sorry to say, Legasista happens to lack lust. Compared to the flagship franchises from NIS, it has a poorly paced storyline and a dearth of new gameplay ideas.
