  • The Silent Protagonist – Dragon Quest VII

    It’s a tale of magic, sages, friendship, betrayal, possession and a horse princess.

  • The Silent Protagonist- Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD

    Hello and welcome to the first Silent Protagonist of 2013! It’s hard to believe I’ve been writing about upcoming RPGs for the last year. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about them half as much as I’ve enjoyed writing them. To kick start the new year I thought I’d go for something big. Like, Disney meets Square Enix… again! Unfortunately it’s not…

  • The Silent Protagonist – Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3

    Wow. What a lengthy title! If anybody knows me, I love pretty much all things Japanese, from the food, the RPGs, to Anime. Naruto is my favourite anime, so much so that I’ve got an eight trigram seal tattooed to my back, if that’s not enough to convince you that I really like the series…

  • The Silent Protagonist – Mass Effect 4!

    Before I return to my previous style of blogging about up-and-coming video games, I thought that as I finished Mass Effect 3 a few weeks ago, I’d do one more Mass Effect blog. Hope you don’t mind! I’m going to ramble a bit first of all, then I’m going to throw up my ideas of…

  • The Silent Protagonist – Mass Effect and Silliness

    Hello, one and all! I realise that in my last blog I said that I was going to write about Capcom’s “Remember Me,” the up coming RPG due to be released in May 2013 but something happened to me recently… and, well… I changed my mind. Sorry! Anyway to cut a long story short, I…

  • The Silent Protagonist – Chrono Cross

    Remember when Square made decent games? You know… back when Square Enix was Squaresoft? They made some awesome games back in the day such as Final Fantasy X, Chrono Trigger, Vagrant Story and… Chrono Cross. Chrono Cross was released back in 2000, in the states and it never got a UK release. Unfortunately it still…

  • Tales of Graces F

    Namco Tales Studio has once again produced a graphically beautiful game that compels you to keep playing, encourages you to explore every nook and cranny of the world, and far outstrips anything I have played recently. Tales of Graces was originally developed for the Wii, and debuted in Japan in 2009.  A year later it returned to stores…

  • The Silent Protagonist – Tales of Xillia

    On July 6th this year, at the Japan Expo in Paris, Namco Bandai revealed that Tales of Xillia will be localised. That was brilliant news for Tales fans, as many of the titles fail to make it outside of Japan. It is being developed by Namco Tales Studio and is also the last Tales title to…

  • The Silent Protagonist – The Legend of Dragoon

    Just for a change, I thought that I would take a step back instead of looking at what’s to come. I’ll be looking at one of my favourite RPGs – The Legend of Dragoon, for the PS1. It was released back in 2000 and recently got a spot on the American and Japanese PSN as a…

  • The Silent Protagonist – Pokémon Black and White Version 2

    Hello all! Welcome to my new blog about Pokémon! At some point in our lives, we’ve ALL heard of it, whether we watched the anime (or still do), or if we played the numerous games that have been part of this franchise, I guarantee you live in a hole if you’ve not heard of it…
