I like AJ so I would also like to give Harvest Moon a thumbs up.

Daytona is a good shout as well. It's pretty important for a number of reasons and is fairly well ported these days.

And I think the COD/MOH month could work even though I never cared much for COD back then.

Don't care about horror so no opinion there.

Yeah, and it is an awesome game. Was it one of the first games with a morality system? I'm pretty sure I was evil when I played it.

Ultima IV is the first that had a well defined morality system. In fact, the whole point of Ultima IV was to be "good" in all the axes it tracked.

Anything similar to that (NES, Master System, or Atari RPGs(if they exist)) would be better that the current RPG picks IMO. I've beaten KoTOR a few times and have no interest in Pokemon. But then again, I've never played it.
I would hope you beat KOTOR with an avatar like that! haha! I think it is a good choice and I will concede my want for Morrowind to be included. There is always the next year. A lot of people haven't played it on the forums here suprisingly. I myself went evil in the game....even though it pained me to do it. I felt so bad letting those kids throw rocks at that stupid Ithorian. :cry: :cry: :cry:

It is one of the few star wars games I have beaten... actually, I think it's the only one. I'm just a huge fan of The Empire Strikes Back :)

WHAT?! We played Dark Forces a while back. You gotta catch up!

It is pretty normal for those of us who have beaten a particular game or have no interest in that particular one but do have interest in another game in a series to play that instead. For instance, Oddworld doesn't do much for me...but Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath does. I might finally sit down with that game while everyone else plays the original. While we play KOTOR, you could try out KOTOR 2.

Indeed. During Quake month I played the second expansion for Quake and Quake 2.

Maybe I'll play some Rogue Squadron and watch The Ewok Adventure that month. Haven't seen that in a while :lol:

Is KoTOR 2 as good as the first one? And, is it backwards compatible on Xbox 360? Hmmm... this could be the excuse I need to buy an original Xbox.

Kotor 2 isn't as good in most peoples eyes. There's some interesting stuff story wise and with the gameplay but it also feels rushed and was pretty buggy if I remember. I wouldn't recommend getting an oXbox for it. The Steam release is probably the best bet as the game has been patched extensively irc in recent years.
