It's my guess that the folks over at Archcraft did nothing else but play Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI nonstop for three years and decided to make Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled for the Nintendo DS, as it borrows heavily from those two titles."
"Remember how awesome it was to get up early on Saturday to play Chrono Trigger for eight straight hours, and still want more?", writes Meteo Xavier.
Gamertell has posted its DS game recommendations for the 2009 holiday shopping season.
The list is divided by ESRB ratings.
TRB writes: "Old school role playing games seem to be the sure hit on the Nintendo DS. The simple gameplay is easy for portable gaming and the time to complete these games is either double or triple the length of modern games. Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled offers the style of gameplay that fans of the most praised game on the SNES will jump right into and find plenty to love."
