Vagrant Story review
Every combat action Ashley takes affects a risk meter. As it rises, both good and bad things happen. He can cause much more damage, but his accuracy and defense both suffer. If you gain high risk because you chained a 10-hit combo on some…

Valdis Story: Abyssal City review
It's one of the rare action RPGs that places equal importance on the 'action' and the 'RPG.'

Valentina review
When people make lists of the best games developed in Brazil, Valentina is unlikely to ever figure prominently.

Valhalla Knights review
Valhalla Knights makes a lot of assumptions. It assumes you already know that the character you're hired to escort through evil-heavy lands is automatically in your group, despite the game never telling you so and the character only ever…

Valhalla Knights review
Valhalla Knights is a game designed to sell X copies to X gamers for (X*Y) dollars. You could say that about anything, but most games have something more. Something catchy. Unfortunately, there's nothing catchy about Valhalla Knights —…

Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga review
It's unfortunate, too, because underneath all the crap lies the framework for what could be a very good game. You have your typical classes such as fighter, mage, and priest, who each have their own experience levels. You're free to change…

Valis: The Fantasm Soldier review
Instead of the tale of heroine Yuko and former best bud Reiko's tragic friendship, the Valis manual talks about how Reiko is dating Rogles (King of the Dark World and general menace to society) because she thinks he's cute! What in the…

Valkyria Chronicles review
Despite its occasional campiness, Valkyria Chronicles is deserving of all of the praise it has received.

Valkyria Chronicles review
Valkyria Chronicles looks like a water color painting in motion. Whoever made this artistic decision is a genius, because watercolors make anything look amazing, whether it be a stream or a pile of rocks, and here you’re seeing whole…

Valkyrie no Bouken: Toki no Kagi Densetsu review
Maybe I should just cut my losses and surrender. After all, the only reason I’m continuing in my attempt to conquer Namco’s astoundingly bad Famicom title Legend of Valkyrie is because I simply cannot accept defeat. But I feel a little…

Valkyrie Profile review
A thousand tiny voices rise up from Midgard, the realm of the humans. Each of them has a different story to tell, and all you need to do is listen. In the guise of a commoner, a journey to ground level only leaves you with unanswered…

Vampire Killer review
At a cursory glance it might even resemble a simple port, but this impression couldn't be more incorrect – Vampire Killer immediately stands out as a dramatic departure from the rest of the franchise even as its influence can be felt in…

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines review
These aren't the sorts of vampires who constantly whine about their lost humanity or take annoying teenage princesses to the prom. We're talking about hard-drinking and even harder-dying undead anarchists packing UZIs who'd just as soon…

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines review
The Vampire RPG mythology is applied flawlessly here, the politically charged 'vampire subculture' backdrop providing for one of the most fabulously realised videogame narratives we've had the pleasure of experiencing in years. It starts…

Vampire Rain review
For five years, Vampire Rain had me spooked, and not because of the experience I had with it. In fact, I never even played this release until 2012.
