So rare a sequel outclasses the first in every aspect. If I were to compare it to anything and not saying they are anything alike. Terminator to Terminator II. Just a massive dramatic difference in every regard while retaining what it is but so much better.

Its got a slow start, and its kind of a package deal, its way easier to get into if you know about the stuff in 1 and 2. My roommate is doing research on RPGs so he's asking people questions like this for every console gen.

I've only actually played Diablo 2, though about half of the games mentioned are on my "to-play" list.

He needs to throw in some more then. Last gen had far better stuff than some of what's on that list

I'd like to hear what you think the list is lacking (I'll explain the logic behind it afterwards)

Playing Sonic Generations again. I let out a depressing laugh at the part where future Sonic tells past Sonic how his future is going to be great. :lol: :no:

Those are all really good suggestions. Dark Cloud 2 was actually what we were playing when we decided to ask the question of people. The idea behind picking a set number of titles was to remind people of what existed and try and get something quantifiable within a set area. Also, theres 5 games made in the east and 5 made in the west, each with a different style. All of the games were released in the time period that makes up the last console gen even though a few .

I guess this would be one of those things where it would be good if people could add to the list.

All but two, only because I haven't played them. Dragon Quest 8 and Gothic 2.
The rest are great though.

Aaaaangry... ANGRY!
Insomniac has been putting out these limited art prints for sale in honor of Ratchet & Clank's 10th aniversary, and they put up the best one of all today: this insanely well-designed shot of Dr. Nefarious.


Image

Problem is, only 300 are being made, with no reprints.
Ever.
Already sold out, of course.
Really wish I would have caught this earlier today. Would have been bought immediately (I think it was like 50 bucks or something, 18x36 inches large).
And it glows in the dark too.

There is no god. :cry:
