- The World Ends With You - I still spend MANY hours playing it and still feel that it is one of the better games I've ever played

- Etrian Odyssey series, the second of which I've not yet finished

- Rune Factory 1 and 2.

- Let's not forget Phoenix Wright

- and, of course, Izuna (when I finally got into it)


:3 I would be the first to say that the DS is my favorite system and all of the games have fulfilled that gaming-need for me.

I love The World Ends With You and feel it to be one of the better examples of the DS done right.

EO has little-to-no replay value to me ... but I also just metagame and plowed through it.

Rune Factory is awesome so I can't say anything there.

Phoenix Wright ... I dunno. I love the games, I really do but ... replay? Yeah ... no. It's just an issue with the genre. The writing is superb, the game is funny, and the story is great but ... it just isn't something I'd play again. I know what to do at every step of the way and it just doesn't spring to mind as something to do again.

I do have an awesome memory though so I tend to remember things which makes replays a bit harder to warrant in general >>

And Izuna was a disappointment to me. *shrugs* Just not my type of game.

It's not a very long list, really. Depends on what one thinks is "enough."

The systems with the least "SUPERAWESOME" games are definitely the 360 and PS3 :P

I'm sick of terrible, cookie-cutter FPS.
At least some games TRY to be different. Like Dead Space and Earth Defense Force.
Oh wait, those are third person shooters XD


The Gears of War (TPS) and Call of Duty (FPS) series can die in a fire. They have destroyed gaming as I once knew it.

I refuse to accept such games as revolutionary or extraordinary in any way.

Meh, I never cared much for FPS's. Sure, a few of them are nice and all, but gimme my RPGs and HMs any day of the week!

Though EO and Dark Spire hold a special place in my heart.

RPGs and FPS have become rather stale, imo.

I mean, sure. There are a few that stand out as "HEY! Something different for once!", but for the most part, they are just plain crap.

Most American "gamers" (as they call themselves) that I know wouldn't know a good game it bit them on the ass. It disgusts me how they go all googly-eyed for these new FPS, claiming them to be the holiest thing since Jesus, then call them shit 6 months later.

My argument for "GOOD games" is that I can play them all the way through, then play them through again, and again, and again, with no loss of replay value. This is NOT nostalgia.

I find that most games today become lackluster rather quickly. Again, there are exceptions...

It must truly be an illusion if you say so.
Why else would such abominations be so well liked by the masses?
