Review by Nick H. At first glance, Conception II might not look like it is anything special. The story itself is as tried and true as almost any other JRPG as you assume the role of a chosen one with incredible power that will join forces with others to save…

Read MoreReview by Clark A. As much as I enjoy JRPGs, I recognize that certain audiences simply can’t bear their often turn-based battle systems and gratuitous playtimes. While some will never be persuaded by the genre, playing Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga again as of one of the Wii U’s premiere…
