Even after three years

Three years ago, Toby "Radiation" Fox stopped making rom hacks. Kinda sad, yet we did benefit. He released a one man project called Undertale on the pc market and the inter webs, as a whole, lost their mind. The game is your basic jrpg fare, traverse a world, do a thing, try not to die and don't trust flowers. Honestly, of all the games I played I rank this in my 10 favorites, not number one however. The truth of the matter is Toby was a rom breaker first and he would hack many games with the Nintendo rpg Earthbound being his playground. In essence it was Earthbound that inspired Undertale as many themes can be found. Honestly I felt as if I was playing another Earthbound game and yet it felt new, different. As Jon Jafari said with Earthbound, I could say it with this game, As an experience, this game goes beyond limitations. If you haven't played it, play it, but don't go in expecting amazing game play and mechanics. Go in expecting nothing and watch your expectations get overwhelmed. In fact as you play keep that determination thing in mind. It becomes so prominent that you begin to feel it. In fact the themes Undertale portray have in themselves become the driving force for my blog. Anyways, give the game a shot. No watching it online, you won't feel the emotions this game tries to portray. Get it, personalize it, experience it.

Judge Judge Dredd? Sure, I'll do that.

Unfortunately I've only played this game for about an hour, and yet it's something I intend on spending a lot more time on in the near future.

The Judge Dredd RPG is simple, but adds things many RPG's don't have. For example, say you were trying to investigate someone's emails, you would add together your computer dice (2d6) and your investigation dice (1d6) rolling for a total of 3d6. This is a nifty feature which totally makes sense and means you really think about who does what in your games.

Now I do have a problem with Sci Fi games. Namely you can do almost anything, nothing stops you but the laws of physics. This can really derail a game. If you play with the right group then this isn't a problem, but finding those players can be hard.

On the outside of the DM's screen it contains a list of crimes and what their punishment is, which is rather useful as a player. They also contain many useful stats for vehicles.

The paper quality this book is printed on is ~130gsm and as such has a good feel to it.

I personally would look to buy it, but maybe not at full price. They are releasing new expansions and as such this many change with time. But currently I'd look to spend maybe a maximum of £35 on this book.

TL;DR
-Expansive book and screen
-Fun to Play
-Cool Mechanics
-Maybe wait until it's on sale.

I really enjoy this game (and not because I'm a Marvel geek). It's basically a turn-based RPG, but instead of leveling up from battles, your characters increase skill and power from "character shards," which are also used to recruit characters, and by equipping gear that you often need to craft. You get equipment from battles and from spheres that are also acquired through combat.

There are many aspects to the game: the blitz competition allows you to compete against other players for a particular set of shards. These campaigns go on for about a week. There are also special events, which are stories that take place outside of the regular campaign. These special events usually result in a new character. The arena is exactly what it sounds like, and you get in-game currency to buy shards or equipment. There are daily challenges that award you special prizes, and then there is the main campaign. Each character belongs to a certain class and has certain skills. The trick is creating a team that is well-balanced enough to win against other players and in the campaign. There are so many ways to play that you can open it several times a day and play for a good twenty minutes before your resources ("energy") is depleted. There's very low pressure to buy anything with actual currency, which is nice. However, if you went that route, the prices are hideously expensive and often pretty useless (hence the 8/10 rating).

It's a fun diversion, and I highly recommend checking it out!
