This abstract sounding title from Sony is a beautifully drawn role playing game with cartoony type characters reminiscent of Secret of Mana on the Super Nintendo. The main character in the game is an orange maned boy who wields a short sword. Like many other role playing games, you can induce and convince other non-player characters to join your party and fight by your side. The graphics are very well detailed and are viewed from a 3-D isometric perspective. Battles are fought on an overlaid hexagonal battlefield similar to Front Mission where you can move up to a certain range and then either attack or defend. Popolo should fare very well and should sell through quickly.

Also known as Dynasty Wars 2, Tenchi Kurau shows the progression of the Final Fight type game up to the current day. Tenchi can be summed up as a punch and kick side scroller where you control a character and go through levels, beating up your enemies, picking up weapons and energy pills, riding horses, etc. It's a cool game that doesn't break any 3-D polygon ground but is a fun and mindless beat 'em up; these are good once in a while.

Galaxian 3 can probably also be called Starblade 2. These two are interactive movie type games where the action moves along and then you interact by controlling a cross hair to aim at enemies and blast them away. The visuals are great but the gameplay may leave something to be desired for some people. If you enjoyed the Starblade games on the SONYPS, then pick up Galaxian, if you hated Starblade, then do what you gotta do.

Next to Arc the Lad, Gensou is probably the most requested import RPG for the Playstation. Thanks to in-depth coverage in Diehard magazine, this game has received quite a bit of interest among role playing gamers. That and the good chance that this title will never get ported over to the States, makes this something of a "Most Wanted" title. Gensou features a very interesting and involved storyline revolving around a host of characters with whom you can interact with and get to know. $US68 --Role Playing

SRMIV is almost a cult game among SFC owners who enjoy robots fighting it out in a strategy simulation. That is, robots that are deformed to boot. That is, deformed versions of famous Japanese robot characters such as Gundam and Daigoro. Yes, the game is in Japanese but like Front Mission, it is not too difficult to figure out the menu options after you have tried them out.
