Tetris and Dynasty Warriors 3 are easy votes from me here. I hope Magic Hat gets back over here and casts his vote for Hogs of War ! He nominates that game every time and it never gets any traction. It was released on PSN as a PSOne Classic a while ago. I really out to give it a try sometime. Dynas...

Mount & Blade has been over the last decade one of the go to games for me. It has been consistently entertaining, and being there with a thriving community before the game ever released in full was simply inspiring. As it is, M&B remains one of those games that I always install on every com...

I enjoy Suikoden III more each time I play it, which is something that doesn't hold true for many games. I might actually like it better than the first... Its atmosphere, the great character-building (that leads to a core cast of over 20 characters, all told, all of which are fairly well developed),...

Gotten to around the 3-hour mark, the second major boss after the Ruins, pacifistic as I can be: Undyne. Trying to do a no-attack run, so it was interesting to have the game go into and out of battle. The "blocking" variant on dodging was interesting, as was the variant used for Papyrus' f...

Azure Dreams is interesting, fun, and relaxing... but I'd hesitate to vote for it simply because it becomes very grindy about 15 hours in (where you'll be searching for red/blue upgrade materials for your weapon and shield, while trying to level up monsters as you go). Up until that point it's a rea...

I must be one of the few people who prefers VII to VIII. VIII has more features, but aesthetically VII is one of the most soothing games I've played - and also has some of the weirdest art choices I've seen (such as the baby loading screen). I play it every now and then when I need something to calm...

Backed it on Kickstarter, only played a couple of hours so far though. Managed to avoid killing thus far, but it's been rough at times. I've game-overed a couple of times, I think I must have missed armor at some point. Very interesting game, though, and it's subverted my expectations a few times wh...

I'm not normally that much into platformers, but I do have many fond memories of searching for secrets in Wario Land to get the best ending. It gets my vote. It's been a while since I last gave FFIX a re-run, perhaps I'd like it better nowadays - I recall it running pretty slow in battles, though, w...

Although I can appreciate what Final Fantasy was trying to do, and I played it back in the day, I can't stand to do so nowadays. I see Phantasy Star as a better expression of the same ideal that is more palatable, despite early directionless-ness. That's as someone who played Phantasy Star nearly 20...

Warsong is an easy vote for me here. It very, very nearly made it into my own list of nominations. It's a strategy masterpiece, with all the hallmarks I love in the genre: large-scale hectic battles, promotion trees, permanent death, hiring smaller "troop" units, etc. It also has a large ...
