Resi 5 looked terrible at the conference. You could have switched environments between Gears of War 2, MAG, Resistance 2, and Resident Evil 5 and I wouldn't have noticed. Each one had their own variety of 'monster,' that behaved just like the others. Hell, Resi 5's 'zombies' were using guns! Remembe...

This looks amazing. This, Chocobo Dungeon, and Shiren 3 are going to make me buy a wii.

Been playing this on hard now. Very good game but I'm not sure it's better than the first (which is one of my all time favorites). It's kind of like comparing Terminator 1 and Terminator 2. Terminator 1 is the more complete package while T2 hits bigger highs and lows. Ninja Gaiden 2 has better comba...

FF8 is a really solid RPG, with a horrible way of presenting itself. The junction/GF mechanics aren't explained well enough, leaving most players to endlessly draw magic for the rest of the game. The story only reveals itself just before going to beat the last boss, making the rest of the game sligh...

Anybody played Etrian Odyssey?: m Yeah and it's AAA. Not just one of the best games on the DS, but on any other current machine as well. Very old school and hardcore though, with a focus on dungeons and constant battles. Also, I haven't started playing it yet, but Shiren the Wanderer is apparently ...

I think it is a pretty cliche game - but a good one at that! Dragon Quest is also cliche, but its the best jrpg series! Skies of Arcadia's strong points are it's world map, characters, and tone. If you don't click with it I'm not sure the combat will hold you. Give it a chance though, it grew on me.

Just beat Diablo 1 with a lvl 25 warrior. Diablo himself was too easy! Now I'm playing Etrian Odyssey. Awesome game. Not as difficult as people say - yet. Best Rpg I've played since DQ8. Drawing my own maps is so satisfying . Waiting in line: Shiren the Wanderer The World Ends with You and Diablo 2 ...

I've heard the famicom version of all games are pretty bad. I don't think they're made by the original developer (falcom). Ys is probably one of my favorite game series. Great music, great designs/art/cutscenes and arcade type action rpg gameplay. Order Ys 1 and 2 Complete for the pc from Japan. The...

The new chocobo game is a (praised) roguelike. So there are hardcore wii games out there (with mad world and wario on the horizon).

Grandia 1 is better than Grandia 2. Get it if you can. For me Skies of Arcadia was a mixed bag. It started off rough (and I restarted several times after long breaks from the game) but ended up falling in love with it. The world/characters are great fun. The battle system is a bit slow and generic. ...
