*bold titles have been in stu's game collection at one time or another

hmm. I'm suprised Legaia 2 isn't on that list...but anyway, cool, I guess...

hmm I've only owned 4 games from that list and played about 15 of them. I guess it aon't too bad.

KH #40 my ass, that should at least be in top 20

T'is your opinion.

heh... aggressive inline... that game sux

Yes, but I agree with him completely. Honestly, I think Kingdom Hearts should be first, FFX second, Suikoden III in third, and Vice City fourth. Just my opinion. So please no one burst out and say "U r Teh! suKet!h! moRan!))"

I think Crono, Darkmaster, and Crono_Link are way too into RPGs... :sneaky:

Damn straight! :)

But seriously, have you ever played Kingdom Hearts? I've been hardcore ever since the NES days.

Nintendo and Square have changed my life. But to get back on topic, Ratchet and Clank sounds awesome. I really need to play that game since I am into adventure/platformer games too.

So? RPGs provide the best gaming experiences. With awesome stories, characters, etc., I prefer them over any other game genre. :p

Seriously, you must play this game. It's by far the best 3D platform/action/adventure game I've ever played. The huge array of weapons adds a completely new dimension to the genre...

Reports are that Insomniac are now working on an online action game...possibly a sequel to their 1996 hit-FPS Disruptor. Something to keep an eye on...and remember, you heard it here first ;)

you say that like its a bad thing...

It's not necesarily a bad thing, I mean it's just yer opinions and such, but it's just everytime there's a list of top games or something you're like "No! It should be *1: RPG 2: RPG 3: RPG 4: RPG 5: RPG*" And then Crono says "Yes I agree!" ;)

I'm just messin'... I just find it funny... (^-^

lol, so true

Now I really want the game... Thanks a lor, Stu. :) But I will try to pull some money out of my ass so I can afford it. ...Hopefully. And let's not forget the awesome reviews the game has been getting.

LOL! I agree. You're not the first person to say this to me. My brother says the same thing to me but with a little more... you lnow, cursing....

And just like Crono said, RPG's are the best because of its story, characters, battle systems, and everything else.
