The first game to be released with the new SquareEnix badge is none other than the highly anticipated Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Granted, it was under development way before this union ever took place, but a good chunk of the cycle was spent under the new name. From what I could see, the recent events have had no effect on the game's quality. In fact, it came pretty darn close to restoring my wavering faith in Square.

In the year of 1994 Nintendo released a game that would have started a rage across Japan and made it one of the popular games in the games industry andt he series of Fire Emblem was born. Unfortunately, only Japan got to enjoy these games, since Nintendo thought other parts of the world wouldn't like the series. They couldn't have been more wrong.

Roleplaying games on handhelds have always baffled developers. Whether it's the lack of space or processing power, RPGs have always been restricted to home systems; until the release of Nintendo's newest handheld, that is. Nintendo wowed the handheld gaming market with its incredibly impressive and undoubtedly powerful Gameboy Advance. With its momentous release came Camelot's first RPG offering for the new system, Golden Sun. Needless to say, the game was a smash hit.

In Megaman Battle Network for the GBA, the gameplay core hasn't much changed, but the difficulty has, as you'll will defeat the bosses without much effort, even one the hardest bosses in the game becomes a piece of cake when you know his moves. The game's storyline isn't much, but the gameplay can make up for that.

If a game is, it is cloned and called a sequel. This happens to every single game, no exceptions. Just take a look at the Final Fantasy series, it has already reached its twelth or so sequel, spin-offs not included. Or how about 'Tales of' series? Or the Mario clones? Even Zelda couldn't escape this future, and with Megaman Battle Network there is no exception.
