    Well, I like Mario, as it's an example of a series that has aged rather well. Pretty fun and innovative in every release, without much dead space, i.e. everything in a Mario game is there for a reason (like if you see a roller coaster at some point that is going to be used in gameplay, it's not just there for window dressing, etc.) Everything seems to be thought out well to the nth degree in a Mario game.

    Castlevania, although I haven't played any of the PS2 versions (heard they suck, but eventually I'll get them anyway.) I even like the GB castlevanias. They're good for GB games.

    Oddworld adventures, (Abe's Oddysee, Munch's Oddysee.) The character desgin and story hooked me on it. I wish ther was some more asskicking in them though.

    Capcom fighting games have become a major passtime, as that's what all the guys play on breaks at work, so they need someone like me to own them once in a while.

    Soul Caliber, which kicks ass.

    I was really into Mortal Kombat when I was a kid, until the series got shitty after UMK3.

    Never really liked Sonic, as there's too much Dead Space in the games, where you're just running real fast and not doing much, also it always annoyed me that Sonic could run at the speed of light but had trouble walking up a hill. What's up with that?

    Same with Mega Man, I like the Mega Man X series on SNES and Playstation, but old school Mega Man all you have to do is buy one game and print out the characters from the other games and like cut them out and tape the bosses' heads over the screen and you've got them all. How a company got away with selling 8 versions of the exact same game is beyond me.

    Bonk's Adventure series was good for what it was.

    Command and Conquer series, in which I will school any of you fools any day of the week, with both eyes closed and one arm behind my back, no contest, especially Yuri's revenge.

    Sort of, at least Zero = Alpha, Zero 2 = Alpha 2, and (I think) Zero 3 = Alpha 3. However, there's weird shit like Zero 2 Alpha, SF2 EX Plus Alpha et al and I'm not sure how the nomenclature mapping is on those.

    And to what's-his-name, I haven't played DC3, but I heard it's not very good (plus I don't have an Xbox)

    I'm considering doing a translation of the original FC Fire Emblem (with help from a Business & Japanese graduate), and possibly also finishing the incomplete one for Fire Emblem Gaiden too. But I'm very lazy and still haven't even finished the Famicom Wars one I started last summer!

    That is a very hard question for me to answer. Im going to make a top 3 list, since they are SO close.

    3.Tales of Phantasia
    Because I love Norse mythology, and it was a fun game with some pretty cool characters, such as Dhaos. :D(even though he had maybe 7 speaking lines :smt082 )
    2. Arc the lad 2
    Because it had a lot of characters, and most of them had a decent story behind them, and one of the best stories ever. I should add Arc the lad 1 with this, too, since they are essentially the same game.
    1.Lunar SSSC
    Because I just thought it rocked out loud. I like the hand drawn look and feel, the great anime cutscenes, and the way the last boss turned out to be somewhat good in a way. I liked EB, but they went too cliche with the evil god vibe during the whole thing. I also like Dragons, and the Magic Emperor's armor is the coolest in Video game history. Honorable mention for cool armor is Zeikfred from Wild arms.

    Do you guys think Im a good game reviewer? Because im thinking of putting some reviews on my website. I would like to acutally put up a good review for Lunar in the graphics dept. Damn Casual gamers these days. :mad:

    Forgot to mention Starcraft and Warcraft

    Tekken

    Twisted Metal

    Half Life

    Samurai Showdown, especially Samuri Showdon 2, which is the pinnacle of the series IMO
