The Greatest Game you've Never Heard of this Week!

Resonnance of Fate

XBOX360 and PS3

This is really a masterpiece from TriAce. Its an RPG but your team fights with guns instead of the traditional swords we are used to. The battle play is also a little different you chose a path for your character to run on and then you chose how charges you want your gun to be before you fire. You can unload one clip into an enemy or shoot as many times as you can before reaching the end of you path.

All the weapons in the game are completely customizable. As long as there is a spot for an attachment and room on the blue print, you can create it, no matter how impossible it would be for it to be real. Character weapons are handguns, machine guns, or grenades. All of the characters can duel wield, as long as you have the guns. The character levels up themselves through their weapon choice. Its kind of strange. Say one of your characters is level 7 handguns, level 8 machine guns and level 3 grenades. That characters level is 18, but if you give that characters grenades they are going to leevel up very quickly, because it is easier to level up lower levels (as we all know). All the character outfits in the game are also completely customizable. As time goes on you unlock new outfits to buy for your characters and they are all very stylish.

Best thing about this game is the game plus record. After you beat the game, it is not nearly over. You still have to unlock the rest of the map and take that elevator as low as it goes. This is an amazing game and shows how under rated Japanese games are to the American public. The graphics in this game are strickingly beautiful and there is a great steam punk element to it. I would love to talk about the story, but I would spoil it. The story is a great mystery and really makes you think about how people would survive when conditions on earth got to be unbearable. Really great RPG.
