Yakuza: Like a Dragon

			Newer then most (all?) of our games of the month/week/day/whenever-we-feel-like-it. Yakuza: Like A Dragon is a personal favorite of mine, and was actually my entry into the Yakuza series. The game is a rather crazy take on the classic Dragon Quest formula with many references to DQ in the game, both subtle and not-at-all-subtle. My personal rating: Awesome. It's on plenty of platforms, so take your pick and play!

			What stand-out single player RPG has Sega made since Panzer Dragoon Saga? Probably only this one ( an amazing game as well)

And I don’t know if you’d call them “notable” but Sega made several 7th Dragon RPGs, one of which came West, and a bunch of Shining action RPGs, four of which came West.

			Resonance of Fate looks amazing(didnt even know about it)! Pity that it seems its no longer a Sega IP due to sega not being mentioned on the Steam page, I'll try to give it a look - It has that Wachenroeder vibe going for it

			I played this one the Series S at it's launch. Amazing game. I especially enjoyed all the Dragon Quest references.
