Namco's latest hands us death, difficulty and frustration - and we come out of it absolutely enamoured.

![Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies Review](https://images.rpgsite.net/entities/thumbnail/da49c9a1/92/list/100.jpg)
Dragon Quest downgrades its graphics, goes portable, and puts a massive emphasis on character customization. But does it work?

![Nier Review](https://images.rpgsite.net/entities/thumbnail/da49c9a1/214/list/231.jpg)
In places Nier can be mediocre and even boring - but when it's successful, it soars, a unique experience with a superb soundtrack.

![Darksiders Review](https://images.rpgsite.net/entities/thumbnail/da49c9a1/163/list/179.jpg)
We take a look at Darksiders, the first big game of 2010. It has questionable status as an RPG, but does it have questionable status as a quality game?

East meets West, RPG meets Puzzle and PopCap meet Square Enix in this genre-crossing collaboration. But is it any good?
