RPGDot is offering up the second installment to their "RPGs of 2005" feature, this time taking a look at some of the lesser known role-playing games slated for release this year. Included in this new installment are profiles for games such as Metalheart: Replicants Rampage, Blood Magic, Grafan, and more. A snip about Metalheart:

Akella had the recent misfortune of one of their publishing partners releasing a 2003 pre-Alpha demo of Metalheart. Akella were quick to point out a long list of improvements and changes and if it all comes together (along with a reasonable translation), Metalheart shows promise. A classic isometric cyberpunk/post-apoc party-based RPG with turn-based combat, Metalheart is aimed squarely at Fallout fans. Starting with two existing main characters (which may turn off the target Fallout fanbase), up to four additional party members can be gathered while exploring the alien world setting. Originally conceived with 16 character attributes, this has apparently been streamlined to 8, with character advancement primarily achieved through a system of removable bionic implants.
