Champions of Norrath Onimusha 3 Chronicles of Riddick Soon to be- Silent Hill 3 Top Spin

As usual, it all depends on what games you like to play. But for the most part, I have to go with PS2. Between the summer of 2003 and the summer of 2004, I think Xbox is a clear winner, but overall, the PS2 still has the obvious edge. Look at it closely- The PS2 has almost ALL video game...

scrubking: It makes the game a challenge. I beat them all after a few tries. Sure, it's frustrating, but I wouldn't call it "cheating." I can't wait for HSG: Fore! either. HSG 3 is basically my favorite sports game of this generation, and I've also invested many, many hours into it. My...

My favorite is the best game of all time: FINAL FANTASY TACTICS :) After that, it goes like this- Super Mario All-Stars Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Super Mario Kart Final Fantasy VII Earl Weaver's Baseball Hero's Quest Metroid II: Return of Samus Madden '92 Mutant League Football...

Here's a fairly diverse set of great games to check out (exclusive to PS2, just 'cuz I'm not sure what you have for other systems): Final Fantasy X Final Fantasy X-2 Devil May Cry Onimusha 2, 3 Silent Hill 3 Ace Combat 4 Twisted Metal: Black Gran Turismo 3 ICO Kingdom Hearts Soul Reaver 2...

Absolutely. The "old-school" gamers (and I'm one of them) tend to view all old games through the rose-colored glasses of timeless nostalgia. Panzer Dragoon was downright horrible, IMO, but I will agree with the Suikoden series as having quite possibly the best storylines ever. As far as FF...

This is a no-brainer; SotN takes the crown without a struggle. Not only is it the best CV by far, but IMO, it's also the best 2D action/adventure game ever.

Congrats on taking out Nemesis! Let's be honest, though, you could've beaten the game a LONG time ago. You just have the same sickness I do: make your party invincible in every RPG you play. :wink: Thankfully, I believe I've finished almost every RPG I own (about 25 PSOne, 6 PS2), except...

If I deem a game worthy of staying in my collection, it never gets traded or given away. It stays put forever. Franchises that have zero chance of disappearing are the Final Fantasy, Mario, and Gran Turismo series, and probably any and all future GTA games.

Not since the 16-bit days disappeared. I have yet to play an RPG this generation that is NOT Western-developed, that has the final boss as the biggest challenge. Suikoden III's biggest challenge was several hidden monsters as well as getting all 108 Stars of Destiny. Legaia 2 had the...

Cornfed: If you're trying to beat any of the Original Creations in the Monster Arena, don't bother trying without fully activated legendary weapons. It just depends on what you want to do. The final boss is hardly ever the toughest thing to do. In ANY RPG. The real challenges lie elsewhere.

Way back in August of 2002, when just about the only good games I could find were Halo, Deathrow, and Morrowind, I was a little disappointed. But lately, I think the Xbox is finally making a decent surge. My platform of choice is still the PS2 by a longshot, but I'm VERY happy that I have the...

In terms of quality and graphical impressiveness, the two easy winners from this generation are any and all FMV's from Ninja Gaiden, and most major FMV's from FF X-2. Both just scream capability, whether you like them or not. Onimusha 3's intro. rocked, so that has to be considered as well...
