Golden Sun: The Lost Age thrust you right where the first game left off. However, this time you don’t play as group of heroes that you left at the conclusion of the first game; instead you play as the very people you were chasing in the first time

though the link cable mode isn't much to write home about, it's enough to increase the replay value further when you've conquered the adventure. It's a no-brainer that the series will continue, as RPG fans are going to love what Camelot has produced for t

From the very start, you are thrown right into the adventure as young, adept Isaac, in the foothill village of Vale. A tragic accident greets you in the first few minutes of the game, claiming the lives of villagers near and dear to you. Three years

In a word, the control scheme perfection. The controls are easily accessible. You'll forget about the piece of plastic in your hands. But what really elevates this game is the unique sleep mode. In this made, your screen goes blank and you conserve power

This is an epic quest, full of the usual RPG clichés regarding good and evil. The game is set in a world shared by two immense continents, Angara and Gondowan. Alchemy rules over the land and there are individuals (Adepts) that can telekinetically move

high on my list, for quite a long time. That said, when an RPG can captivate me long enough to get drawn in, that game is extremely impressive. Imagine my surprise when, on a whim, I picked up Golden Sun at Target (mainly because it was on sale at the tim

The story is rather cookie-cutter in its design. Your name is Isaac. You and your friend, Garrett, are children from the village of Vale at the foot of Mount Aleph. As residents of this precariously placed hamlet, you are gifted with the ability to use

In a time when the market is flooded with RPGs (most of which are garbage), it's nice to see a game that isn't afraid to go back to the basics: turn-based battles, simplistic graphics, more puzzles than you can shake a stick at, and a storyline that is

As one of the most critical Nintendo fans around, it’s nice to see a game come out for the GBA that’s original, pretty, fun, and doesn’t involve any one of their stupid mascots.

The story is set in the small village of Vale wherein the people who live there are happy and peaceful. What is known about these people is that they are magic users. They are capable of wielding Psyenergy, a power capable of controlling the elements.

So what exactly is making me flap my little gums so enthusiastically? Golden Sun is at heart a traditional RPG, it has a party based system with a (not too frequent) turn based combat and a typical fantasy setting, the thing is, everything it does is

Golden Sun was a great RPG (Role Playing Game) on Nintendo´s first 16-bit console: the SNES. Many great RPG´s followed, but Golden Sun was one to remember...
I´ll start trying to explain how it´s possible to get such a score (99%) is possible.

The storyline in this game is pretty awful. At the onset the story line is enthralling and keeps you on the edge of your seat, but after a few hours the storyline seems to drag on and makes your character accomplish completely superfluous tasks. I

Portable Review
In late 2001, alchemy made a second splash on the world of man in the form of Camelot’s Golden Sun. In Golden Sun, alchemy simply takes the place of magic. At one point, the use of alchemy was commonplace and everyone could wield it. During a period of

The battle engine, which features the best graphics in the game, is fairly dynamic as far as turn-based combat goes. Each turn, you select character actions from a panel of rather descriptive icons. After your selections are complete, the battle turn
