Topic: Universal Recommendations Thread

Complete thoughts plz.

Believe it or not, the PS2 didn't have that many noteworthy Strategy RPGs, and the best never left Japan. The only ones out in the west worth pursuing that I can think of were by NIS, and the best got enhanced ports on other consoles that are more readily available. That's just my opinion, though. I'll throw out some games I enjoyed, but none of them are what I would call "gems":

Eternal Poison
Growlanser V
Makai Kingdom
Disgaea 1 & 2
Phantom Brave
La Plucelle

...and that's it.

I want to get something on the Wiiware similar to My life as a king. Anyone have some suggestions?

My Life as a Darklord.

That's hardly similar at all. Darklord is more of a tower defense dealy-o

I have 1200 points to spend, I want to get 2 600 pts games or a 500 and 700. Wiiware or VC (I have the classic control)

Any recomendations? I like action, platforms, sports... i dont like a lot RPGs and Puzzles.

Lenghty games, please!

That and the fact I already have the game

@seed
Cave Story. I think its 1200 pts.
If you want a couple games, try Mega Man 2, Soldier Blade, Kirby's Adventure, River City Ransom, Crash N The Boyz...

thanks im gonna check em out. Anyone else has more recommendations?

I'm between getting phantasy star IV and ogre battle 64.

Ogre Battle 64 by a mile and a half. It's an absolute masterpiece, while Phantasy Star 4... is not (and I'm leaving it there).

Well the only thing I was worried about is that I'm horrible at strategy games although I do like some rts games.

I second this. Or you could get Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. It's 900 points.

What Steam game should I buy? ($9.99 or less)

I like action/adventure games. Preferably a game without high computer requirements. It doesn't have to have multiplayer.

Battlefront 1 starwars jajajaj it's awesome dood

I have that on PS2... plus I heard Lucasarts titles don't run well on Win 7

I got about 40 bucks left and it's another 3 weeks until payday. Should I buy Grim Grimoire for $30 while it's still in stock? It's the last one.

Hmm, should i get Uncharted 2 Game of the Year Edition or a $20 PSN card and get Sonic Adventure and the Little Big Planet Metal Gear Solid DLC?

Uncharted 2. And I haven't played anything in question.

A full game or a 10 year old game you can get for a nickle nowadays and DLC for a game that has tons of free content already? I think the choice seems pretty easy...

_{My inner Sonic fanboyism screams no...}
