Ice Scream is one of the various games submitted by developers in the RPG Maker community for RPG Maker Magazine's "Make the Craziest RPG" Contest. As the theme states, this is one pretty abnormal game.

Crazy Skating is an innovative and fun game for RPG Maker. This game proves that with the right amount of imagination, a game maker can create any type of game. Of course, with the limitations of RPG Maker (especially in graphics) this game is nowhere in the league of the legendary Skate Boarding games that have blessed the Playstation and Playstation 2 consoles. In fact, the custom sprites are mediocre but they do look like what they're supposed to be for the most part. Still, you don't play an RPG Maker game for graphics so let's get down to the gameplay.<br>

This game is fun; let me emphasize that for all you game creators that think it's enjoyable to make game after game that involve the generic story of rescuing damsels in distress, fighting monsters and solving mundane puzzles. Fun! Make the game fun! And Jerbils has certainly done that with this one. The controls are simple and the tricks are funny to watch. Especially when you get to knock people in holes, toss boulders on top of mugger's heads and start raging infernos.<br>

But, this game is not perfect. So, without further ado, let me get into the scoring for this delightful chapter in RPG Maker history.

Yes, this is the same "Nano Bot" made by the talented Dave Carter that one the RPG Maker Pavilion contest. Saying that, I knew it had to be good. One, it's made by Dave carter, very well known for his awesome games. Two, It uses an improved version of Dave's platformer engine for RPGM, and three, its passed Valkysas' test and came out victorious in the Final RPGM Contest at the RPG Maker Pavilion. I couldn't wait to try out Nano Bot.<br>

I went into this title, unexpecting, and oblivious to anything it had to offer. I mean, with a name like this title carries, who knew what it would be about. Well, I can safely say it was nothing too original, nor boring.

For Abyss of Vinsaga, the strongest point is its story. With a story that has been over a decade in development (yes, you heard right), you can expect at least some polish. Although you can only catch a small glimpse of the overall story from this short first chapter, it is enough to drag you in. I cannot wait to experience the entire story, regardless of the medium chosen.

Animal Adventure, I've heard, is the tale of a sheep and a pig who get separated when escaping from an evil farmer. Though apart, they go after their friend horse who got left behind on the farm. That's what I've heard, and that's all I can say about this game, I'm afraid.

Never before has this type of game been attempted, let alone finished for RPG Maker. But I believe the creator wanted to leave his mark with an innovative title that people will remember him by. Crazy Skating is that mark.

Vonwert has once again published a mystery-themed puzzle game, much in the same brand as Dark Illusions. Titled Cursed Desires, the story of Lex Johnson is told as he takes over the exploits and adventures of a reclusive millionaire.

It's nice to play a game that's a breakaway from traditional RPG's. With this puzzle horror game you get just that. The genre inspired me to play, the graphics left me in awe, and the puzzles destroyed my sanity.

Oh my, so Omni is officially a pervert. One play through and you'll loose all innocence.

The game itself is based largely on an anime called Devil Hunter Monoko. I've never seen the anime myself but in my experience I can see that what Omni's produced is most likely close to the what the plot would be like (devil slaying, sex talk, and all that teen girl Asian anime crap).

Sat down and played this game over two days. It was a big enough success that I played it right till the end. Having the battles balanced was a major step in this, though I am very tired of RPG Maker battles. The plot was even fun to which helped a lot! I knew that this was one of the early games and was very well done.

Valkysas is no stranger to making "games" that make you wonder "Why God, why?" DOOR: THE GAME is no exception. So, what is DOOR: THE GAME? Quite frankly, I'm not sure. Though the developer calls it a "Door Simulation".

While sifting through the pile of RPGMaker games submitted to the various RPGMaker sites, one always stood out. That game is Forever Darkness, a game that was given a high status with only a one word description: FUN. So, is it? Is Forever Darkness the very essence of this word?

Among the clutter of famous RPGMaker games, one that stands out among the pack is Pinoy0004's Forever's End. Once heralded as one of the best games made for RPGM, does it stand against the test of time?

I always wanted to play this game but I've never given it the time - until today. It lived up to its hype and here I'll tell you why!

The game's creator, Draygone, made a pretty good introduction, which I'll follow up with notes of my own:

I sense something! Maybe the Gang of Ultimate Evil is behind this. This is the first bit of story that pops up on the screen of the game Legend. Impressed? Anyway, Legend follows the story of Warrior, the protagonist of the game and voice of the first sentence.

Mini Game RPG is the product of Shawn Forbes, a well known figure in the RPG Maker community. Shawn is known for his above-average creations on RPGM, and MiniGame RPG is no exception to the rule.

Patrick's Journey, the RPG made by Monkey Brothers' creator Hedrum, is a traditional RPG with a not-so-traditional story. It is a first attempt at a full game, and it shows. However, much promise and fun is found in this game.

Good news. Despite the arrival of RPG Makers 2 and 3, game designers of the first RPG Maker are still hard at work at producing quality games for that medium. One maker that has not forsaken this old maker is Jerbils, creator of the game Crazy Skating.
