The Raven Council

It's a PS3 RPG, and it's hard. Really hard.

If you make one mistake it will hold you down while all it's friends have a go on your pasty white butt. But, because of that it really is satisfying when you finally get past that monster that has been eating you, pooing you out and then eating you again and again and again. I should hate this game, it has humiliated me repeatedly and made me replay the same parts of the game over and over again, but I just can't - I'm loving it!

If you think you're a hardcore gamer, then give this puppy a go - but be warned, it will treat you like a bitch.

looks awful from the videos ive seen

Admittedly, it's not the greatest looking game in the world.

But it hates me with such a cruel passion that I can't help but want to beat it.

western rpgs have been my thing normally

For some reason, ZeroPunctuation's reviews have been pretty much spot on for my taste, including this one,

Yeah i'm with jae western Rpg's are my thing to and it doesn't look that great but we'll see.

It's not a typical japanese RPG, it's a fighting game where you level up.

I will have to look at the Zero Punctuation review when I'm at home - don't always agree with him, but I'm always entertained by him.
