(RPGFan) -Combining two games in the series that have not seen the light of day since 2001 and 2003, respectively, on the Game Boy Advance, Re-Boot Camp modernizes the graphics while retaining the original art style and gameplay. Between bouts of the dual campaigns, you can bring together fellow strategists online or in person to see who knows how to army best in Versus Mode. Hearing no updates on when Andy and his fellow Orange Star Army members can once again roll out into the action may be upsetting, as I have been eager to play a game in the series. But the tactical adventures both new and old players will be able to experience will be worth the wait. The Black Hole Army won’t stand a chance when the time comes.

(RPGFan) -RPGs and adventure games very often have an outsize focus on storytelling, in part because so many of them are about a group of characters growing and changing over the course of their journey.

In today’s episode, five panelists decide whether they prefer a great story or great gameplay when only one of the two is an option, and highlight several games with particularly good narratives and lackluster playability, or vice-versa.
