Editor's Comments: There are names that, to RPGamers, are as famous as Jordan or Shaq would be to B-ball fans. Who are they? What are they up to? Where are they headed in 2007? Bryan gives us the scoop on each of them.

Editor's Comments: This year's brought us a lot of fantastic titles, hasn't it? Some good, some bad, and some that where very, very weird. Now that it's nearly over, Michael runs down his picks for the top six games of 2006.

Editor's Comments: FFXII has been making waves for a while, ever since the playable demo released with DQVIII arrived to mixed reviews. Dallas feels it didn't live up to his expectations for Square, and tells us why.

Happy Holidays, RPGamers! So how was your Christmas? Mine was spent with my girlfriend's parents and her brother, and was almost entirely enjoyable. Hope you all had a good time celebrating with friends and family.

I can't say I got a deluge of gifts, but what I did get was nice. And most importantly, I finally got FFXII! Which, by the way, I completely love. I'm glad all my fears regarding the new system were groundless. If anything, the game reminds me much of the .Hack series, which is, in my eyes, by no means a bad thing. It's taking some time to get the hang of how it operates, but on the whole I like it.

And now, on to the editorials. Just like Santa, our editors are making their lists this year, and checking them twice. Bryan's watching the hottest names in the RPG industry. Will he tell us who's been naughty, and who's been nice? Michael's coming down the chimney with the top six games on his list. And finally, Dallas tells us about why he's giving Squeenix coal for Christmas.

So Happy Holidays, from all of us in Editorials. We'll be running a day or so late again next week as I'll be out of town on New Year's day, but I'll see you all on Tuesday.
