Christmas is over and the New Year is upon us. For me, Motoi Sakuraba has a hit list of wintery themes to help bide time until spring.

I spent the last month playing remakes of games from my childhood. It’s the most fun I’ve had all year.

Star Ocean 2's remake features a beautiful new art style blending a real-time 3D world with gorgeous 2D sprite art - and to its developers, it's part of a great revival.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R has brought a cult classic into a new era. It’s been thoughtfully retooled, but it’s still packed with all the heart and soul of the original. Graphically, it’s gorgeous, and the new quests and features range from fair to fabulous. It’s one of my favorite video games in even finer form.

It'd be doing RPG Site readers a disservice if we didn't report back on our hands-on time with the remake of this beloved classic RPG.
