Killer 7 and, not having learned my lesson the first time around, No More Heroes.
Although they're still my main source of game review, sometimes relying too heavily on EG, and their bias towards the artsy fartsy, is a bad thing.
I loved Killer 7. I can still remember the techno music as you ran through the kinda car park area to the other door for boss fights. Gonna look for that music now

I remember that, Mickey Mouse in the enchanted castle I think.
I may have committed the same, but I think I rented Virtua Racing from Xtravision instead.
Which also belongs on the list, along with Tomb Raider 2. Was a lot of money to me back then....0 -

ah comon now a FF fan who played through the old FFs said he found 12 has the best battle system - either you are a big MMORPG fan or you got a special FF12 version that is from another spaceNeoKubrick wrote: »Final Fantasy XII's real-time gambit-system has been the best battle system in the series (VI-XII). I don't mind turn-based fare (and I was initially disappointed they didn't copy FFX's template) but it's extremely hard to go back to play FFX random encounters with slow turn-based action after playing FFXII with its quick seamless battles.
OT:i rarely buy game unless i have the confidence i will like it(played the presequal before),i have tried it,seen it,read about the review etc - i never regret of any game that i own :P
maybe just that Lego Starwars Complete Saga....the game bore me everytime tthat i cant continuously play the game more than 1hour think i can never finish it then...
ohyes and my Bioshock Pc version,i thought it was a good catch -15 euro for it on sales,completed it and never seen it again0 -

I don't play MMORPGs. That has no relevance at all, though. I don't think its characters or other aspects of the game were the best in the series, but FFXII's gambit was a giant leap forward versus turn-based battle system. It's not even a matter of opinion, because it's like comparing the graphical power of a PS3 versus PS1.0 -

Just thought of another on:
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
I wasn't going to buy this because I knew it wouldn't be very good but had to review it for a website so went out and bought it out of my own pocket. It was a dul button basher with a dreadful story and the worst badguy seen in quite a while. Dreadful music as well on the most part. The graphics weren't even up to much. They would have looked nice if every level wasn't just a series of copy and pasted sections repeated over and over.NeoKubrick wrote: »I don't play MMORPGs. That has no relevance at all, though.

A lot of people however like the strategy and player input that turn based battle systems give, me included and I know an awful lot of people also prefer it that way. FFXII didn't feel like a final fantasy game anymore. To me it was closer to Vagrant Story and it's telling that the old FF team didn't make this game but the Vagrant Story team were behind it. I would say it was a step backwards for me. They got rid of the ATB system in FFX and went completely turn based and for me it was a massive success that promoted strategy into what you choose to do next. TBH I can't think of any real time or semi real time rpg battle systems that can beat the best turn based systems of FFX, Grandia, Persona and the Megaten games, etc. For me other than the boss battles there was no strategy to the FFXII battle system. I had a gambit system set up within the first few hours of playing it that I stuck with throughout the whole game with hardly any changes and meant that there was no input from me really needed except to run to the next fight and watch my guys do the battle for me and to run around in circles to get my mp back up

Ah Halo 3 wasn't all that bad. It did at least correct the mistakes of Halo 2. Other than the atrocious final level the Flood weren't seen other than a cameo in one level.
Now Halo 2, that was a poor game. First level on earth, excellent. And then the flood arrived and the game descended into repetition. They even had the cheek to put another Library level in.

Well as you say FFX-2 is a given. FFXII disappointed me because it wasn't a final fantasy game. It was more a boring single player MMO set in something closer to the vagrant story universe. I was also very disappointed with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. FF Tactics is one of the greatest games ever made and FFTA just felt like a poor mans version of it. Haven't tried any of the recent spin offs because I just know they are corporate money spinners.
