I bought phantasy star a while back and It wasn't my cup of tea and I'm not considering any strategy-rpg games right now cause I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics. Do you have anymore suggestions?

FInal Fantasy 4 most definitely. There is no competition. :D

If you check it up on the VC it's called Final Fantasy II.

It's definitely worth checking out.

That's one of the games I've been considering to buy, but I have a question, does it have the save feature that's present in 5 and 6?

Yup, it only works when you're wandering the overworld map, though. But, you do alot of travelling on the overworld map, so it isn't a setback at all.

Have fun!

Be warned that you can skip the dialogue by even tapping the analog stick, though. So just leave your controller alone during cutscenes. I learned that the hard way. xD

Not really. The VC's RPG compliment is currently lacking, IMO. Those are all the ones I enjoyed besides Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy 4, and if you didn't dig PS1, you won't like FF1 either. I don't see the point of recommending the worst version of FF4 for any reason other than nostalgia, especially when other options are so readily available.

@MickeyMac I was actually just introduced to Final Fantasy 4 a few months ago... Of course there are the ones with boosted graphics and sped-up battle sequences, but why would you want to try that if you could go back to the roots and get the original one that started it off? It's not like the story is worse, or the gameplay isn't as good, it's still a good game that has actually aged fairly well.

The translation sucks and the battles are too easy, to the point where you rarely need strategy. You can get the Gameboy Advance version with a good translation for the same price as the VC version, or you can get the PSOne version for even less with a sucky translation and a difficulty that actually requires you to pay attention during combat. Or you could just shell out a little more for the DS version, which has the best of both worlds, and enhanced cutscenes that do a better job of convaying emotion than simple text boxes ever could. I simply can't recommend the VC version when it has no benefits whatsoever.

Hard to say. If you have an Xbox, I'd say get Timesplitters 2 for the GCN and Future Perfect for the Xbox since they still have the online servers up last I checked.

Otherwise, Fututre Perfect doesn't do anything significantly better, so I say just get Timesplitters 2, and if you like that, get Future Perfect.

Try HeartGold or SoulSilver. I actually liked them over Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. Or, better yet, wait for Black and White; those two look like they could be the cream-of-the-Pokémon-crop.

Either HeartGold or SoulSilver. I've played all three versions (not counting SS), and HG/SS are easily the best.

The most minlicious of them all.

I'd recomend Future Perfect. That's what I prefer atleast.
TS2 was great for its time but FP just feels more polished. It has better hit detection, better graphics, and a better story mode. It also has a far more robust map editor.

.... or something like that.

Ok i'm considering getting Call of Duty 4. Should i get the PS3 version of the Reflex edition?
With the PS3 version, i can play with all my friends easily and have all the features missing in the Reflex Edition.
With Reflex, i can play with all the Nlife members who have it (Min, Irken, etc,) and will have pointer controls.
However, the PS3 version cost less at Gamestop. (Not sure about Play n' Trade yet)
