Editor's Comments: The time for the Wii is upon us! Will Nintendo live up to the hype? Are they all talk, or will the next gen at the "big N" floor us? MasterChief charges them to put their software where their mouth is. Will the Wii's launch titles be able to do it?

Editor's Comments: Camelot's smash hit series Shining Force brought new life into the world of SRPGs back in the day. The way Sega handled the series after that, though, left much to be desired. JuMeSyn tells us all about it.

Editor's Comments: Don't you just hate it when you get all charged up for what looks like a great game, and it ends up a letdown? Want to tell the makers what they did wrong? Here's the story of a game that could have been more.

Welcome to October, RPGamers, and another edition of the Editorials column! Fall has fallen upon us, the leaves are changing, and the price of candy in every store in the US has probably tripled in anticipation of Halloween sales. As for me, I'm still on the job hunt. I got an offer from another phone company, but the pay wouldn't be great and the hours were lousy. Plus it was a company I have a personal dislike for (long story). So I'm still looking. Honestly, all I need is to win a lottery. It doesn't have to be much, I'd be happy with a quarter million. Heck, even 50 grand! That's pocket change by standards. Really, am I asking for too much?

I'm writing this from work, looking forward to going home and taking some time to watch Law and Order. USA has an SVU marathon on Sunday and Monday, so more than likely my girlfriend has already locked out every channel on the TV besides that. We both really like the show, but she borders on obsession. Since she wants to be a cop, it comes as little surprise Olivia Benson is her personal favorite character. Elliot Stabler is mine, or Lenny Briscoe. I loved Jerry Orbach's deadpan one-liners. It was such a shame that he died like that.

So in honor of that, this week we have our own little Law and Order spinoff! It's time for L&O: Editorial Column! JuMeSyn's on the streets, seeking clues to the mystery that is Shining Force III. MasterChief joins us this week as a special guest star, cross-examining Nintendo about the Wii. Finally, I'm in the courtroom, judging what went wrong in Magna Carta: Tears of Blood.

Know a game that's a special victim? Maybe have a criminal intent to write? Or just want to book me for a trial by jury for this week's bad puns? Write to us at Editor@rpgamer.com with your editiorial opinions, we'd love to hear from you!
