The day I start moving into my first house... it starts raining all over the east coast of the United States. Awesome. (taking a break, will resume tomorrow)

Wrapped up Red Dead Redemption and Star Ocean: Second Evolution - did some trophy hunting in RDR and a tiny bit of the optional dungeon in SO2. Loved RDR, thought SO2 was pretty good. My next projects are going to be Persona 3: FES and a yet-to-be-determined handheld game - might resort to piracy if nothing from my backlog grips me.

Got back from watching the UFC fight card with the boys, now I'm at home watching performances from the Eurovision song contest. It's been a night of contrasts.

I've never really gotten into Megami Tensei, but I'm interesting in trying it out since I'm almost done with my current slate of gaming projects. I have access to play any Persona game other than 4 (1 and 2IS would be PSP, the others would be PS2), or I could try Devil Survivor on the DS or Nocturne on the PS2. What do you guys recommend I try out?

Sounds good. Always glad to promote Torchlight. If anyone wants some random free Steam games, I still have extra copies of Torchlight 1 and Portal 2 in my Steam gift inventory. If anyone wants either of them just PM me and we can arrange it.

I'm of the other opinion due to SD2 being three player versus SD3's 2 players max. Also SD2's bug set was less crippling to certain characters than than SD3's bug set. Moreover, I liked the more open design of SD2's fields and areas versus SD3's Original Zelda field design where you're going through a bunch of samey rooms (at least OGZelda had the decency to employ actual concepts of geography versus SD3's random hodge podge of geographical features (I'm looking at you Rolant and your Corridors of Wind)). I don't really care about 3-person co-op. I never played SoM with more than one other person, and I judge an RPG's single-player experience before its multiplayer. And seriously? You're complaining about samey rooms in SD3 when SoM had palette-swapped corridors for almost all of its principal dungeons? And WAY less monster variety? And an awful skill/magic learning system that necessitated a brutal grind for high-level attacks? I'm beyond convinced, dood. SoM is not as good as SD3. Also there were only two Zelda games for the GBC (barring the DX port of LA); Minish Cap was on the GBA.
I was referring to Link's Awakening DX and the Oracle duo.

KESSLER IS SUCH A DICK. Great ending, and one of the best villains of the past 4 or 5 years. I think inFamous 2 is a better game in almost every way, but its villains aren't as good as Kessler.

Seiken Densetsu III improves upon Secret of Mana in virtually every way. Visuals, Audio, combat, skills, characters, replayability, it's not even a contest.
Of the five "big modern 3D console Zelda" games: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword... Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword are the two worst. They're good games, but those two are in fourth and fifth place. None of those five are as good as A Link to the Past or the three Zelda games for the Game Boy Color.

Tales of Eternia can be added to the list of Tales games w/ anime, but it's a side story thing. Phantasia's OVA is a fair retelling of the middle of the game and Abyss is also pretty straightforward.
There have been multiple anime made in the Street Fighter and Fatal Fury / King of Fighters franchises, but they're all awful with the exception of the Street Fighter 2 animated movie (which is awesome and don't you forget it). Avoid the two SF Alpha animes like they're a handsy person with herpes.

My skeptic alarm is blaring. I love Shadow of the Colossus, but I have no idea how they could make it a successful, marketable movie without changing what SotC fundamentally *is*. And even then I'd probably still buy a ticket....

Still playing Red Dead Redemption, and I'm pretty sure I'm near the end. Huge, massive, titanic spoilers if I mentioned what I were to mention what's going on in the game.
But with that said... has anyone here played RDR: Undead Nightmare? Is it good? Because I kind of want some more RDR once I've finished the game.
