Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge of merit.<\/em><\/p>\n

I never owned an XBox. Thus, I never had the pleasure of playing Jade Empire during its heyday. But when I heard of the enhanced remake being released for the PC, and heard Brandon raving about the game, I had to pick it up. I found the engine to be a bit dated, which is to be expected from a game that was originally released in 2005, but the gameplay was fun, the River Raid-like mini-game was fun, and the story was fantastic.<\/p>\n

This is a game I kept after completing, and although there are a dozen games I’d like to replay first, I think of replaying this one often. If you’re planning on playing it, don’t let yourself be spoiled on the plot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
