Heres an excerpt
In the age-old genre of role-playing games, one company has held a steady domination for over two decades. Since its humble beginnings in 1983, Square has set the standard in the world of RPG's. Though the Japanese company is most famous for the Final Fantasy series, there's no denying the worldwide appeal of yet another powerhouse franchise: Dragon Quest. Beginning with Dragon Warrior (English name) in 1986, the franchise has had over two dozen games in the last twenty years, featuring full-fledged sequels, portable ports, and spin-off games, teamed with a ton of merchandising. It's no wonder, then, that one of the most famous and constant cast members got his own game. Slime, used in nearly every Dragon Warrior and Dragon Quest game since the series debut, now has his own game to star in, as Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime readies itself for a U.S. release.
