RPGs are like the 80s. Before the 80s were cool, they were revered by everyone as being the decade with the most eye meltingly bad fashion/music/celebrities. But that whole decade has had a resurgence in popularity; partly because of Lady Gaga?s vagina, partly because of Brian May?s tenacity (that man will not be forgotten easily).
Whatever the reason, the 80s are back, which is just like the rise in popularity that role playing games have had over the past few years.
Well before the Elder Scrolls and every other game had levelling up characteristics and diluted the market with enough hot RPG action to put you off them for life, there was a lower standard of charming RPG that grabbed us by the soon-to-be short and curlies, before paedophiles became all the rage.
Predominantly made for consoles, these games have lived long, LONG past their shelf lives (much like Brian May) but still remain some of the most sought after games when it comes to re-release songs that are decades old.
Chrono Trigger is one such of those games.
Already out for almost every other gaming platform; DS, Playstation Network, Virtual Console but not XBox Live, it's finally coming to iOS before the end of the year.
Chrono Trigger is one of, if not THE best role playing games ever created (we're not going to debate with you whether it is or not; we don't have enough time for that when we have actual spots to burst), so make sure you pick it up if you can.
It's not like us to overstate something but IT?S THE BEST GAME FOR THIRTY YEARS.
Bet Brian May can't say that.
