Favourite Games:
Zelda (but they are getting pretty similar and boring)
-Castlevania
-Okami
-Final Fantasy, especially the newer ones with better characters & romance but still some older ones too, not particularly fond of 7 (don't hate me), the whole genetic engineering thing is so typically boring & boyish (like halo, gears of war, any space marine... ad nauseum) and one of the members of the love triangle (Aerith) dying is just so cliche. Other FF's are good though. I agree with the Japanese opinion that 10,12 and 13 are the best, 8 is a guilty pleasure too (I wanted to be Rinoa so bad when I was younger, now Vanille is my hero)
-Jrpg's in general, (any Tri-ace or Nippon ichi games or any ar tonelico, tales, atelier series') especially ones with good romance, Never really liked Persona or Disgaea overly much though, still better than western games but not great for Japanese.
-Bayonetta
-Tomb Raider
-Metroid
-Playboy ps2 game (I know i'm probably the only one but I'm a sucker for Pb merchandise and totally biased)
-Pokemon
-Kingdom Hearts
-Team Ico Games (ico and shadow of the colossus)

About Me:
I am friendly and outgoing, always looking to have a good time, I have always played rpg style games casually (about 4-5 a year which i always complete) but just returned from a year teaching in Japan where I really got into their obsession about games, I only play games for the story so dislike shooters and action games like God of War. Outside of games I enjoy socialising and travelling.
