I want a 360 fighting game. Tekken 6 or Soul Caliber 4?

@RandomWiiPlayer: By the Metacritics review, Soul Caliber 4 should be the better deal, however, they still are close, so it really depends on what kind of fighting games you enjoy.

Uh... They are both very similar fighting games. They are even published and developed by the same company (Namco-Bandai). I was leaning towards Soul Caliber 4 anyway, it has Darth Vader, Yoda, and The Apprentice as playable characters. Plus, its cheaper

Thanks.

@RandomWiiPlayer: You're very welcome.

That's a tough one. Tekken 6 is much deeper and will last you a lot longer, but Soul Calibur 4 is tons of fun, and it's a lot cheaper nowadays.

EDIT: damn, too late.

So...I've narrowed it down: Should I get R-Type Delta, Dino Crisis, Silent Hill, Wild Arms 2, Crash Bandicoot, or Spyro the Dragon? I only have enough for 1 game, btw.

Unless Vagrant Story comes out, then it's a no-brainer...

Should I give Half-Life 2 another shot, or should I just say the hell with it and uninstall it along with the rest of the Orange Box? Or should I really push my luck and try buying the Xbox 360 version and see if it really is just the fact that it's on the PC is making it suck so hard?

Should I or should I not play Hotel Dusk?

Alrighty: So I'm thinking of re-buying Chrono Trigger. I owned it for awhile, was blown away by it, thought it was a masterpiece. But then I got stuck at this ridiculous part where you're in this insanely big tower, each floor filled to the brim with enemies (difficult enemies to boot), and at the end you have to fight a really challenging boss! It took me litterally an hour just to get to the top of the tower and I died right away when I fought the boss dude. It was so frustrating that I ended up trading the game in when I got my DSi. I feel like I'm going to buy it again, get stuck at that part, and then end up getting incredibly angry again. On the other hand, it's a frickin' amazing game and I really want to see the end of it. So what should I do?

@Kid_A: You are probably a much more experienced gamer now then when you were playing that game. I say go for the SNES version.

Anyway, would you recommend that I sign up for I-UP?

Crash Bandicoot.

@Mickeymac: Spyro. The original Crash sucks, and I've never played the other games before.

I'll get the DS version when I can find it (I went to Gamestop yesterday but it was sold out). As for 1-Up...I don't know, I like their site but I'm not a big fan of their community.

You guys...What should I get for my free NES game? Zelda II or Castlevania III?

@Infernape100: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse is know as the better game of the two, so go with that.

Either way you're gonna be frustrated out of your G-ddamn mind. On the one hand, Zelda 2 is frustrating because of poor design choices, where as Castlevania III was purposely designed to be as evil as possible.

Yeah. I enjoyed Zelda II, but it's a frustrating game through and through.

I was thinking of starting up one of my unopenned games. Should I play Hotel Dusk, Magical Starsign, Dead Space, Sonic '06, or SMT3?

@Mickeymac: Whatever you do, don't play Sonic The Hedgehog for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Sell that game in the exact condition you've bought it in. I think you should start with Dead Space.

What does SMT stand for?

But start with Dead Space, don't even play Sonic '06.

SMT=Shin Megami Tensei. Sorry, I was in a hurry.
