THROWING down the gauntlet to the millions-selling Final Fantasy series, White Knight Chronicles is a new Japanese role-playing game that blends both off and online play into a series of engaging quests. Set in a medieval-like world, the game's makers promise a cast of thousands of interactive characters, plenty of real-time combat and a comprehensive battle mode that lets you string together a number of different attacks. Best of all, though, is the eponymous hero, a seven-metres-tall knight whose suit of armour possesses all sorts of magical powers. And yes, before you ask, it's white.
