Pretty much a Nintendo DS only recommendation here. You can pretty much ignore the very first post. I rarely have any time to play console games, especially now that finals are coming up. (I know, I just said I was playing 2 games yesterday, but yesterday was a free day lol) Just a few rules though.

Don't suggest

Phoenix Wright series - I am well aware of how awesome the games are. I had Justice for All and Apollo Justice. I have every intention on buying these games again.

Spoiler

The lady with the whip is scary.

XD

Music games - Pretty much the same deal with consoles. I don't play them.

S/T RPGs - Like before, I'm not much of a thinker, and all that setting characters up and stuff... nah. I like to just get on with it.

Chrono Trigger - Much like the Phoenix Wright series, I'm aware of it's awesomeness. It's just a matter of time when I get my hands on it.

Pokemon - Err... I'll just say I'm not a fan and leave it at that.

Everything else is pretty legit... (Although, I should say mario as well, but I think it's bout time I put my biasness against him aside lol)

Edit: Oh... crap, forgot to say everything I played. It's not much though..

Sonic Rush (Honestly, I just don't care for Sonic anymore)
Phoenix Wright: Justice For All
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

If you are interested in Chrono Trigger, you might also be interested in the World End With You. It's a little awkward for me to be recomemding this right now, so I'll just point you to the TWEWY thread

"Headsmack" I forgot about that game, and it's been on the rage for quite some time. I even managed to suggest it to someone to check it out (even though I never played it). Yeah, I have intentions on picking up the World Ends With You as well. Thanks for the reminder.

Get Meteos. That game is addictive fast and I've had to plug my DS into the charger while marathoning it sometimes O_o

Castlevania: DS is a great side-scrolling platformer. It's got fantastic RPG elements (levling up, equipment, items, stuff like that), and you can unlock a second mode that requires almost an entirely different kind of play style, which gives it great replay value.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village is incredible, though it there's a good chance you might not like it considering it's nothing but a bunch of brainteasers.

[Magus]

Ooh, Castlevania. The one series I've been trying to get my hands on for the longest. Aren't there more Castlevania games on the DS outside of that Order of Ecclesia (sp?), or am I thinking about all them GBA games? I think I might get some of those too.

I'd probably buy Professor Layton for my mom since she like a lot of brainteasers. She's into Brain Age(?). I think that's the name of it.

The one I was referring to was Dawn of Sorrow. Seems there's another one, Portrait of Ruin, but I've never played it or Order of Ecclesia so I can't really recommend them.

As far as Castlevania goes, there are two more that are on the DS, Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin. If you decide to get all three though I'd highly recommend playing through Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin first as Order of Ecclesia uses a different kind of fighting system (although its by far my favorite of the three.

[Magus]

Will do.

How's that Zelda game? Phantom Hourglass I believe is the name. I know in the thread itself (I just skimmed it, didn't read much.) I kept seeing something about some new way to control Link. (Stylus control? O_o) I'm not much of a fan of touch screen just yet. (I'm boring) Is that the only way you can control him?

[Nerdsy]

There are FFIII and FFIV remakes out for the DS if you're into that. I don't know how you'd feel about a FF:Crystal Chronicles game, but there's one on the DS. I haven't played it, but I enjoyed the first one.

[Magus]

Ok, OB. I am having a hard time deciding what I want to get.

Final Fantasy XII
Suikoden 5
Zelda: Twilight Princess (Gamecube)

Those are the games I'm having a hard time deciding between. One hand I'm leaning towards FFXII because it's the cheapest of the three. (I'd be able to get another game with it) On the other, Suikoden 5 and TP are games I really want to try out. Yeah, I'm stuck here. Hardest choice I've ever had to make when it comes to games.

If you ask me, FF 12 was rather dull.

Suikoden 5 is pretty awesome and worth the money, I'd rank it in my top ten RPG's of all time. It starts off slowly but once it picks up the pace it has a very interesting storyline.

I can't speak for Twilight Princess as I haven't played it yet.

[Celsi_Wish]

I'd suggest you play Mass Effect 2, if you haven't already. Even if you didn't play the first one... this game blew my frigging mind right out of the water.

I almost cried from awesome at the end.

Gahh.

That's not exactly what I'm looking for at the moment, but thanks.

Still quite the hard choice for me at the moment. The more I think about it, the more I lean towards Twilight Princess.

[Celsi_Wish]

I did hear from several of my friends that Twilight Princess was fantastic. I've never personally played it, but I've been told I have to. I say go for the princess :D

[SOL]

I'd say if you want a good, deep RPG experience, then you have a choice between Twilight Princess and Suikoden 5. I recommend both games. But FFXII bored me to tears. And that's why I'm glad I rented it.

Also, don't believe Ondore's lies.

[Magus]

I decided to go with Twilight Princess for the time being.

Decided to bring this up once more, this time for Ps3 games. I can't say for sure but hopefully I'll be getting a ps3 between now and christmas. I already have a list of games I'm gonna get once I get the system (and money) and I'll probably end up covering just about everything I want to play / try out.

Metal Gear Solid 4
Uncharted 1 & 2
Batman Arkham Asylum
Devil May Cry 4
Bayonetta
Final Fantasy 13
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 & 2
Super Street Fighter 4
God of War 3

That's about all I can think of at the moment. GTA4, Rachet and Clank, and Little Black Planet are games I have no interest in for the time being.

Anything else?

[James]

Just bumping this up. Sorry Phenom, I merged your two posts but I accidentally selected the previous post's "post date". So it's marked your post as being way older than it really is. Oops.

[CaNz]

are there any good games coming out for christmas?
not that i ever buy a game when its new (other than pokemon.... i needed that freaken bird toy)

oh, but i will be getting rockband for my cousins. they all live in the same house so i can combine their gifts.

[James]

One game I'm really looking forward to - and I hope it lives up to the hype - is Homefront. I've only read the one article about it so far though, haha. But it looks fantastic. As far as I know it's coming out on PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as PC.

It's basically a FPS involving a North Korean invasion of America. Surely that's got to be good.
