GamingUnion.net: "In 2009, North America was treated to Opus Studio's first game that dealt with the concept of time, Half-Minute Hero. The game had players playing out 30-second mini-games under a variety of different play styles, including an old-school RPG and even a tactical strategy game. Instead of creating an immediate sequel, Opus Studio created a brand-new game with that core theme - Jikandia: The Timeless Land. But instead of mini-games, Jikandia revolves around the dungeon exploration genre. There's been a noticeable amount of these types of games as of late, so does Opus' spin on the genre provide players with a timeless classic or does this title simply fade into obscurity?"
"On March 11th, 2011, a tsunami and earthquake completely destroyed whole towns in Northeast Japan. Two years later, recovery is still crawling, and the majority of the affected have not been able to move back into their homes and resume their previous lives. Donations came pouring in immediately after the event, but rebuilding efforts still need your help. That said, Aksys games is holding a special event in its store. For every game you buy from the Aksys Online Store, now through March 15th, the company will donate $5 to The Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan." -PSLS

In the beginning you are sent to a land known as Jikandia where time doesn’t normally exist. However, time has started once again forcing you and your group of friends to figure out what is going on and stop it."
Yeah, I wasn't too enthusiastic about that one... but Sestren, your name/site's name is awesome. Glad someone out there likes the Panzer Dragoon franchise as much as - if not more than - I do! That's up there with Area 5.
