Enchanted Arms [PS3]

At Enchant University, Atsuma spends more time asleep in class than actually learning anything, so it's a good thing he has his more studious friend Toya by his side most of the time. After deciding to cut afternoon classes and check out the annual festival, Atsuma, Toya, and openly gay sidekick Makoto are caught up in a disaster as all the robot-like golems at the festival go nuts Westworld style. The game doesn't take itself too seriously and comes across as something of a cross between Final Fantasy VIII and the Cromartie High School anime. It's a shame they made Makoto somewhat stereotypical, but he does fit the campy presentation. You build up your party by creating your own golems and using them in battle, giving the game an element of customization. A good choice if you're looking for a Japanese-style RPG that's a bit out of the ordinary. [7/10]
