I'll rephrase

A 5-8 hour game wouldnt bother me, under said conditions.

And Jak and Daxter was a fun platformer, Jak II was a disappointment, but Ratchet and Clank is where the quality is. Best pure 3D platforming/action games ever made, in my honest opinion.

Slim pickin's indeed...

Only games I can think of are Zelda, Final Fantasy XII, and Silent Hill 5, assuming it's not a PS3 game...

God of War sounds like it's worth picking up, however between work, being lazy, and World of Warcraft, I don't have much time to play games...

If they continue THAT trend, I wont pretend to be too disappointed. And plus, apparently this one is taking a new direction...some squad-based online gameplay.

I just read this part again.


There are only two game mechanics that will make me HATE a game more than "squad based gameplay", those being "card battle" and "nascar."

Let me see, games I want to play/beat before I don't have any time left:

All the Zelda games (actually, I'll be playing those for ever I think).

The DS. I'm gonna buy it after I've had my finals of this period. There are a few games for this thing that I have to play.

Can't think of much else..... I've lost interest in a lot of games.

No wonder the PS2 version is always cheaper. For some reason I get so close to buying it, but then I don't.

One of these days I should pick up the next Gamecube version I see.

Developers who port from one system to another are usually lackadaisical in their work. Besides, we all know the PS2's Emotion Engine is among the hardest things to develop for. Let's hope with new cell processor for the PS3 using XML and C++ languages will brighten things up.

PS2 has the largest at home audience, so they port for the money and to reach more people...

Yeah, the family also has a PC though, which I occasionally use. ^_^

So is the Gamecube version easier also? I wasn't going to get the PS2 version. Might as well rent it though anyway, once I beat a game I never play it much again. Although since the Revolution will be Gamecube compatible, maybe I should buy it so I can enjoy it years from now.

I have a couple question about World of Warcraft and I didn't know where to ask them. And I want it for this generation.

How much is it monthly?
Um, well that's actually it.
