An RPG of high caliber...  not to mention it's for the GBA.  The gameplay is solid, and presents you with challenges and puzzles along your quest.  The battle system is DEFINATELY one of the best I've seen, with the Djinn (think summons) that you...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Golden Sun is the best RPG on the tiny GBA and I find it quite impressive just how much has been squished into this game. Whilst it is not nearly as huge as the major players in this genre, such as Final Fantasy VII, it still has enough content to...    [ Read The Full Review... ]
