Haven't completed any yet! Just got a PS2 in April!

But I do have favorites...LOVE the Final Fantasy series. Currently have 8 (PS1), 9 (PS1), and 10. Gonna add 10-2 when I get a little extra spending $$. Can't wait to get my hands on FF12!

I'm currently playing Rachet & Clank 1 which is a blast. I've also got R&C 2 and will be adding R&C 3 soon. If you haven't played them I highly recommend them. Great platformers.

I've got Jak & Daxter 1 but haven't played it yet.

My wife is playing Asterix & Obelix Kick Buttix (spelling is off but that's the title)....goofy fun button masher that she really likes.

Hmm...what else is in the collection....Oh yeah, got Kindgom Hearts 1 which I've seen and really like. Gonna pick up KH2 when the price comes down a bit.

And to round it out I've got Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.

I also want to add Haven which is a great game with an amazing soundtrack. God of War is a stunning game (though quite gory). Lego Star Wars is a blast. I've got it for the GC but they have it for the PS as well. Lots of fun!

Really want to get my hands on a copy of Valkyrie Profile (rare to find now) and Valkyrie Profile 2 (due out in November I think).

I know there are more that I want to get my hands on but I can't think of them right now.

god of war and the first metal gear solid were great games and should be turned into movies.

I had this great idea that I was going to get the dance revolution thing at home to lose weight.

And then we got a ping pong table.
But I'm glad you like it, that still leaves an option for the basement. Do you think it matters which pad you buy?

Wow, some people has time. I could never finish a game. And I have many. Only games I really finished were PC games, Civilization and Simcity.

I've only ever finished a handful of games in my lifetime. As a matter of fact, let's see if I can list them all:

Nintendo:
Legend of Zelda
Metroid

Super Nintendo:
Super Metroid
7th Saga
Super Mario Land (or whatever the heck it was called)

Nintendo GameCube:
Pikmin
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun

PS1:
Final Fantasy VII



Pathetic really....I've got a LOT of games started, but then had a great memory card crash on the GC and lost everything so had to start over. If I'm lucky I might dredge up 45 minutes or so to play during the week. During the winter is when I really get into video games. I've just got a huge stack of them that I need to finish!


Games currently trying to finish: Skies of Arcadia (GC), Rachet & Clank (PS2), Medal of Honor: Frontline (GC), Call of Duty (GC), Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (GC)....and then there is a stack of about 10 or 15 that I haven't even started yet.

lol- yeah, winter is the major gaming time for me, too. too much yard work and fun in the summer. i'm lucky though, i get to cram my work week into 3 days, so i have time to pursue all kinds of time wasting activities. also, hehe- no kids.

void- i've heard ghost recon is excellent. would you recommend it- i had a memory card crash too, luckily it had data from finished games only on it. my friend has a gc and skies of arcadia, that looks like a cool game.

stephany- no it doesn't really matter, they are all cheap. it is a fun game though, actually very challenging. i got it to help me get excercise too. the graphics suck, but the music is decent - though mostly dance and techno mixes- and the play is fun.

if no one has played them, karaoke revolution, dance dance, and taiko drum master are GREAT party games to play with friends, as long as you don't mind making an *** of yourself. i would also like to try guitar hero, but it's too expensive still. i like alot of the 'physical' games.

reefshadow...Yeah, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter is pretty good. I've been impressed by the little bit I've played it. The problem that I have is that there are WAY too many buttons/commands to remember. I can't play it while working on any other games because I forget what all the buttons do! It's kind of a pain, but overall pretty good.

I would have to say, though, that I much prefer the Medal of Honor games. Just something about the style, story, and sound that is much better.

Griss...if you like MoH then you would really like Call of Duty.

Skies of Arcadia is a pretty decent RPG for the GameCube. It's not really difficult per se, but the "random" encounters get extremely annoying after a while when you are trying to get from point A to point B to do another step in the game. On a scale of 1 to 10 (one being the worst), I would give it a 7....only because I'm such a Final Fantasy addict and nothing can compare to FF.

VR, I do have the first Call of Duty, but I can't seem to get past the stupid tractor factory level. I got frustrated with it and haven't played it in a couple of months. Note, I don't like to use cheats.

Nope, no cheats here either...don't like to use them. I've used walk-throughs on a couple RPG's in spots where I was stuck for days and finally couldn't take the frustration anymore. But I would only use it to get past the one hurdle and then not use it any more.

As to Call of Duty: Finest Hour for the GameCube, no cheats used yet.

Hmmm, the tractor factory...that's the Russian missions right?...I can't remember how I did it, but I got through that one pretty easy. The British missions were pretty fun. I'm stuck on one of the American missions. I have to escort this armor column through a city but I always get killed halfway through the escort. There's this one point where the column gets hit near an arch by heavy machine gunners and Panzershreks (do I have the right term?). I can get through that part, but right after the arch, when the column turns the corner, is where I get stuck.

Yep, the tractor factory is a Russian mission. It's the one where you're on the second level of the factory and the Germans are trying to get in. You have to keep them from breaching the doors. Maybe I need to look up a walkthrough and give it another try.

yeah I forgot about the baldurs gate champs of norrath type games --love those barbarian things. I havent touched my ps2 in 6 months --after xbox 360 came out I feel like its old tech, witing for ps3 before I buy one.

I never buy games --I rent only, and I use the action reply codebreaker to accelerate the pace cuz I dont have patience tp sit there trying to beat it all week
