Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)

If anything proves I’m tired of fantasy-themed games, it’s my on-and-off dabbling in Runes of Magic. It borrows heavily from others in its genre, fusing WoW-like grinding and crafting with a Final Fantasy XI style job system, among other borrowed innovations, so you’d think it would have enough to keep me interested. For me, though, space is the place and it always has been.

EVE Online continues to capture my imagination even though I lack the blocks of time to dedicate to it to justify a subscription, and this new video called The Butterfly Effect from Massively comes close to being game’s elevator pitch. The video tells a short story in just a couple of minutes that ostensibly shows how one little decision can affect the game at large. In the process it talks up some of the most exciting and unique aspects of the game and highlights something bulleted feature lists don’t always convey effectively — that corporations and alliances are vital parts of your user experience.
