I don't see why Odin Sphere can't be classified as an action RPG if Dark Alliance, X-Men Legends, Record of Lodoss War DC, or Dark Cloud can be. It has levels, just a different mechanic for gaining experience. Last time I played it numbers indicating damage done and received were flying all...

FWIW at this late date, the iPod trade may be the clue to finding this guy. Apple keeps on file the serial numbers of every computer sold, so if the iPod was actually use before it was traded, Apple may very well have serial number information, and they can flag it as stolen if it ever comes in...

It's actually no more a "digital download" than buying the CDs. I bought a set of keys yesterday and did the download thing from blizzard. There's no DRM beyond what's on the CD version that I'm aware of, and you can burn the files to DVD and install at will. Having a valid key is all you...

Heroes is based on the Snowblind engine (Dark Alliance games, the Champions of Norrath games, the console Brotherhood of Steel) so it's a different flavor than the Ultimate Alliance lineage of games. Plays pretty much exactly like the other games made with that engine, just with super powers...

The last time I bought it they were the full sized strategy guides. That was awhile ago and it certainly may have changed, since I bought the WC3 battle chest, and that had the pocket sized ones. I imagine, however, that there is way more useful information on D2 out and about on the...

Yay, religious warfare. Back on topic, here are some curve balls I didn't see thrown previously... Deus Ex: The Conspiracy - FPS, Western, Elder Scrolls-style action RPG it may be, but it's a classic, and cheap as hell for the PS2 at Gamestop. ($4 last I looked) Justice League: Heroes -...

I've been doing a lot of this. Most of it has been original Xbox, since 90% of the time the Xbox version of anything is significantly cheaper, but now that I've either gotten or gotten rid of any Xbox game I'm the least bit interested in, I'm moving on to the PS2. Got Ace Combat 5 on a whim...

Actually, a quick look on eBay found Eternia for under $40 shipped. It'll take awhile, but if I didn't have it for PSX I'd have bought that copy I just found.

Europe got Eternia, so you can get it in English from there, as well as Breath of Fire III.

I just got Tales of the Abyss, and it'd be nice if the load times were shorter, but they didn't grate on me that much. Maybe it gets worse the later you go. My perceptions also could be warped by having played through the aforementioned Broken Sword for Xbox, which has 45+ second load times...

Magna Carta has a ridiculously complex system of ridiculously complex systems, especially its combat. It also has the worst load time issues of any game I've ever played (aside from Broken Sword for Xbox, and Painkiller) because it was ported to the PS2 from Windows. The story was either...

I don't generally treat games as an investment. I just happen to be able to afford to buy a second, used normal copy if this was rarer than I thought it was. There are more kinds of investments than just looking for a flat monetary return. Having a sealed, sought after collector's item might...

Happened by my local Best Buy and it still had a handful of the Limited Edition foiled cover Crisis Core, so I picked one up. As far as I can tell, aside from PSP bundles in Japan and Europe, Best Buy was the only place you could get the silver covers via preorder, but the fact that there were...

With Sony supposedly making a profit on the PSP, I don't think it's going to die any time soon. I just bought mine a month or so ago, and I've heard a lot of people doing the same recently. For me it was PSP or Xbox 360 and so far I'm convinced I picked the better value. I've got 18 games...

Sid Meier's Pirates! is perfect for the PSP, probably the ideal platform for the kind of game it is. I had it for Xbox as well, but gave it to my brother after trying out the PSP version. FF:Tactics & Valkyrie Profile if you've never played either (or your FF Tactics for PS1 disc crapped the...
