Ehh I'd switch metal gear for jak and daxter collection. Those others are on my wish list but I've personally played the vita collection for jak and it's actually quite good. Someone out there will probably point out graphics but doesn't bother me none and I had fun when I remembered to play it :roll:

Have you played the original versions of the ones that are reissues/collections? If so, skip them.

The first Jak and Daxter is the greatest homage to SM64. I still go through that game once a year.

Thanks for your picks Exhuminator. I will definitely make sure to pick up Order of Ecclesia. I love the series and have heard that one is great.

I've played through the first Jak and Daxter, and played a bit of the 2nd and 3rd but haven't beaten them. I've played a few hours of MGS 2 and barely played MGS 3. I've never played Final Fantasy X.

That label looks totally fake. Badly cut and looks like it was printed with someone's half dried inkjet printer.

Popped in a loose copy of Virtua Fighter 2 to check it works ok before I stick it up for sale. Ended up playing it through three times. It still looks so good and plays so well. Still not a fan of Lion.

Proper question: Is there anything like a definitive game in the Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble franchise? Most amount of puzzles, most options, best gameplay that sort of thing.
