Fatal frame I and II

I cannot decide if i should go get the xbox version(which is more expensive but has extra content) or the Ps2 version. I am aware that they just announced a Wii version of FF2 but as of right now its Japan and Europe only.

be prepared to lose months of your life on disgaea.

played it religously for about 8 months on my PSP. I do own it on PS2. But I logged over 500 hours and still scratching the surface of this game! I thought I was a completist, but others online (looking at gamefaqs) have gone to 11!

can you do 250+ hours on a TV? On a psp you can do more things with it and you can do more while using your tv

I played this between breaks on work, taking my dad to his doctors appointments, and playing it while watching movies on tv.

The orginal PS2 version has different music, and there was a liscensed song that could not get renewed on the PSP. I think that and some other storyline on the psp version is the only major difference between the two.

It also came out on the DS, but the screen is smaller, and less detailed.

Looks like we have a similar thread already.

That one was not created by a mod, nor does it have "Official" in the title.

They both roughly the same (there might be some screen resolution differences...I can't confirm that), it just depends what controller you preferably used, the only extra content I can think of that the Dreamcast version has a Art Gallery.

I wonder, is there an arcade-perfect version of OutRun I can play on a handheld? I'm playing with the GBA port, which has very good gamplay but the scenery had to be sacrificed and I wonder if there's something a little better.

Having my bias and all, I'd say DC :lol:

But only because I have the best RE3 port of all time on the DC. Pick your costume right away out of 8 choices? Sign me up!

Original Resident Evil? I always hear a lot about it on the PS1 and the Gamecube remake, but I'm curious if the Saturn version is worth picking up? If not, which would be best? After playing and enjoying a bit of Resident Evil 2, I'm starting to have some interest in playing the first one.

So, Mass Effect.


Should I get all three for the 360, allowing me to get the full Mass Effect experience and import my character all the way?

Or get the PS3 versions, having to skip the original game but getting all the ME2 DLC for free and a pretty neat looking Dark Horse comic to summarize the story of ME1?

Here's a fun one: I am thinking about a run through Megaman 8 again. I have it for the PSX, PS2, Saturn, and Gamecube.

Can anyone guess which one I will choose?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
