Almost forgot, Cooking Mama on the Wii.

My sister bought this, but I had so much pure fun with it.
Arm exercise at it's finest.

(And really enjoying all this Okami love we got going on here. That game deserved to sell a lot better.)

EDIT:WHAT? I just wikied Okami and found out Clover Studios is now Platinum games. I did not know that.

Tales of Symphonia-attracted by the boxart, one of my older girl church people had it. Bought it, loved it.

Okami-Saw boxart, IGN GOTY 2006. Decided to go for it, loved it.

The World Ends With You-CALLLLLLING I HEARD THE CALLLLING. And it was goot.

Best soundtrack of any game I have played so far. And that's a lot of games :D

More strictly at topic:
Kingdom Hearts II and Super Smash Bros. Melee

Kingdom Hearts I was a pretty good game, but I hated the clunky camera system and the combat system. Then Kingdom Hearts II came along...and totally blew part I out of the water.

Super Smash Bros. Melee - After my first match I already was totally in love with the franchise. And since I didn't have a Gamecube at that time I downloaded an N64-Emulator just to play Super Smash Bros. It was a bitch to configure (for 7 year old me), but totally worth it^^



Valkyria Chronicles



In-Kat-We-Trust Brigade!

"This world is Merciless, and it's also very beautiful"

For All News/Info related to the PlayStation Vita, Come and join us in the Official PSV Thread!

Persona 4 - Had heard some good things about it but the school setting didnt pique my interest, so when it came out in 2009 i picked it up expecting to get a pretty decent rpg experience and it ended up being the best rpg ive ever played next to FFIX. There is not a single boring moment in this game and i felt extremely sad when i finished it because i knew my time together with these lovable characters had come to an end.. I envy everyone that go into this game for the first time, expect greatness!

Demon's Souls - I imported it from the US as soon as it came out because it got so much praise, i thought i was gonna put it down pretty fast due to the fact that im more into JRPGs and that everyone said it was super hard. I ended up having ALOT of fun, such a rewarding game. Ive just recently gotten into Dark souls again after putting it down months ago and im having even more fun this time

Half-Life 2 - I knew it would be good but not this good. The atmosphere, the gameplay, the envoirments, everything.. My favorite game of all time

Shenmue - At the time i had just sold my PS1 in order to buy a Dreamcast dispite not knowing that much about the games for it. Picked up Shenmue.. WOW is all i have to say, the world felt so alive, it felt like you could do anything and the graphics were AMAZING. If i were rich i would finance Shenmue 3 in a heartbeat







Pong - You never forget your first time.
Super Mario Bros. - It was like a cartoon, but you were in control.
Sonic The Hedgehog - So fast, so colorful.
Virtua Racing Arcade - You had to be there man, you had to be there.
Star Fox - 3D gaming on MY TV!
Panzer Dragoon Zwei - It was the first 32bit game I saw and I was amazed.
Panzer Dragoon Saga - I wish everyone could play it.
Metal Gear Solid - Still my favorite in the series.
Final Fantasy 7 - It was like a big animated movie.
Zelda OoT - Need I say more?
Sonic Adventure - Laugh now, but when it came out it was a amazing.
Rez - I can see the music!
Shenmue - The 1980's were never so kickass!
Ico - Played the demo, bought the game, instant classic.
Halo - It almost ruined me for all other FPS games.
Mass Effect - I didn't pick it up until the second one came out. I couldn't believe how stupid I was for ignoring it for so long.
Bioshock - Got it from a friend and instantly fell in love with it.

HeadHunter on the Dreamcast.

One of the very last Dreamcast games. Game got cancelled in America and Japan, I decided to pirate it and was expecting it to be cancelled for a reason.

Boy was I wrong. To this day I don't remember a game that blew me away more.


YES! Headhunt on Dreamcast is fantastic. I love the varied gameplay and the "RoboCop" style news propganda. I have the UK import. It's a crime that it never came out in the USA. It's also a crime that the sequel was so bad it killed the franchise.



NES: Super Mario Bros - at that time, it was really something amazing (did anyone see Billy, the wizard ? :D )
SNES : Street Fighter Turbo II - something amazing.. background animated, moving was unbelieveable
Sega Master System - Sonic - so speeeeeedy :)
PC : Flashback and Doom, Syberia - do we need to say something to them ?
Sega Dreamcast - oh boy, so many games, but Shenmue II - amazing, breathless - i think, this is the game, that really catch me the most.. i wonder, how that can put so much in only 4 disc..
PS1 - Syphon Filter - at that time a real classic (i didn't like this type of games until Syphon)
PS2 - BUZZ, Project Butterfly II
XBOX - Farenheit, C.B. Undying (or something like that), Project Gotham Racing II
XBOX 360 - Alan Wake easily - i really wasn't seeing something special in it.. also after i play it for first time.. but then.. some time passed by and it was something beautifull, like it more then Uncharted..
PS3 - yes, UNCHARTED, but after one completition nothing more stay on me.. i like its graphics.. but thats all.. don't know, why i like more Alan then Uncharted.. oh.. and KILLZONE.. it was a surprise for me, how good the game is..



The more I read the "console flamewars", the more i love my dreamcast :D

Proud owner of: Dreamcast, PSP, PSOne, PS2Slim, Xbox, Xbox360, Nintendo DSLite, GB color, GB Advanced, Nintendo Wii

Glad I wasn't the only one that remembers this. Sure seemed like it at the time...

And yeah, sequel was one of the biggest dissapointements I've ever had. Much like the first game blew me away, the second sucked all that awesomeness back in.
