5 favorite games of all time:*

Trauma Center: Second Opinion- This game may have flown under some people's radars because it was a "wii-make". But if someone is going to remake a game, this is how it should be done. Revitalized controls that work perfectly on the Wii, an amazing story filled with tension and loss, an excellent feeling of genuine fear fir the patient's life, and impressive, stylish graphics that even technophiles can admire. An absolutely perfect game.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series- Wow, I must have spent upwards of 100 hours playing this games through multiple times. I was so immersed in the worlds they offered and the characters they developed were so believable and intriguing. Plus, it's Star Wars! What more could I ask for?

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 w/ Knuckles- This game is the appitamy of Sonic games. It was so fast and fun and vibrant. I've played through it over and over again. I remember the worlds better than I do from Super Mario games. I can safely say, if they could utilize these old school ideas in a 3D Sonic game, it would be perfect!

Grim Fandango- This game is the gem of LucasArts' adventure game portfolio. It had amazing acting, writing, cinematography, story, and characters, all the necessary ingredients for a great adventure game. It's premise was novel and heartfelt and the gameplay was the best in its genre, both then and today.

Pikmin series- This was one of the reasons I got a Gamecube. When I bought the original, it was only $10. However, this is the best $10 I've ever spent (even better than Paper Mario!) This is my all time favorite Nintendo franchise and my favorite game ever. The amazing scope of the game, the graphics, the fluid controls, the humor, the story, the Pikmin. Everything pulls together and creates an amazing experience that anyone with a Gamecube (or Wii) should experience.

Honorable Mentions:**
Oddworld series
Super Mario series
Animal Crossing
Paper Mario Series
Jade Empire
Warioware series
Beyond Good & Evil
Burnout series
Phoenix Wright series
Sly Cooper series

My top 5 are:

1) Okami game never tires, always some side mission or exploration to do if you wanna take a break from the story line. The game is shear beauty. An epic storyline. You can piddle on your enemies. The divine artbrush gives the game an amazing inituitive gameplay. Gameplay is one of the best I've ever played.

2) God of War Graphics are amazing. Storyline's great. Gameplay is solid & brutal. When you hit an enemy, you feel it. Puzzles are challenging but not uber hard. The shear over the top violence just adds to the games greatness. Yes it's short but the replay value is high.

3) Project Snowblind Best shooter I've ever played. The games grabs you and never lets you go. You have to remind yourself to eat or sleep or use the bathroom. About a dozen types of firearms. From the usual shotguns, sniper and rocket launcher, to the H.E.R.F. (rifle that electrucutes enemys and disrupts machines) & Rail Lazer (shoots a lazer beam that can pentrate walls or shoot off a plasma ball) 5 greades, each with a specific ability. My favorite (spiderbot grenade) creates little robot spiders that'll hunt down and kill your enemies for you. Also you have special abilities from invisbility to being indestrucable. Combines, you got one hell of an arensal to use. Allowing for fun new ways of killing your enemies.

4) Jeresy Devil Tomba was my first game, Jersey Devil made me a gamer. A true classic that never gets old. Fun. Just fun. Level designs were original, bosses were wacky and each unique. Game was challenging, but over-the-top difficult. Just a great game that needs a dang sequal.

5) Classic Spyro Not the ps2 or gba spyro! I'm talking baout the triology that Insomniac made. Spyro, Spyro: Rypo's Rage, and Sypro: Year of the Dragon. That is my childhood. That is my favorite trilogy of all time. The gameplay puts it here. if nothing else, Spyro was one of the funnist games I've ever played. And Sierra's continual creating of Sypro games makes me cry and scream in rage because of how they've mutliated my beloved dragon.

EDIT: What the hell? Here's some other favs that didn't quite make the cut:
POkemon: Red version
KH2
Grandia 2
Tekken: Dark Ressurection
Lumines 2
Harvest Moon: (More) Friends of Mineral Town
Killzone
Tomba

Do you think Okami would work well on the Wii with brush strokes being done by the Wii remote's IR? I'd just like to know if I'll have a snowball's chance in hell of playing that game...

Probably would work really well. But the problem is that Capcom let Clover go so it'd be hard to convert the game to the wii without the team that actually made it.
Oooo, I must go look!

Maybe... But at the same time, the port of Metal Gear Solid 2 and Ninja Gaiden were done by different teams, it's just a matter of code crunching and controller mapping.

I played the GBA one... If it plays like the PS1 game, then I don't think I'd be too crazy for it. I don't really like the whole rules thing...

There are no "Laws" in the original PS1 Final Fantasy Tactics. At all. In fact, none of the flaws present in FFTA are to be found in the original FFT. Better storyline, better job classes, better skill system, better and more balanced battle system. FFTA really is "FFT for Idiots and Five-year-olds."
That being said, I still enjoyed FFTA a bit, but not nearly as much as I thought I would.
Case in point-
- Time spent playing Final Fantasy tactics Advance: 70 hours.
- Time spent playing Final Fantasy Tactics: over 1000 hours. I'm not making that number up. I have ONE save file that has over 350 hours logged into it, and I have played through the game many many times.

I dunno, maybe I'll pick it up on Amazon since I don't have a PSP to play the remake on, but I do have a PS1 to play the original on...
