  • Ok...should I get Shen Mue or FF Anthology (I have FFVI for SNES) or Jet Grind Radio or what?  I need one game for the PSX or N64 or DC that I should buy!

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Skies of Arcadia is arguably the best RPG to date on any console, definetly my favorite, I will play it again despight the time length. The setting is the Era of Exploration taking place in the late Industrial Age. The gameplay includes ship to ship combat as well as a more tradtional Turn based Combat. Exploration of the Overworld, cities, and Dungeons also play a large role in the game.

Conker's Bad Fur Day is arguably the best Platformer to date on any console, it's the funniest game I've played to date. Combines gameplay from Perfect Dark and a greatly enhanced and expanded Banjo Kazooie, and then throws in a whole bunch of stuff not seen in a game before.



What's too bad, is despight these games being a great as they are, neither one sold at all.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Yah, I won't argue with that. But still, for replay value... it made more sense. It just depends on what kinda experience yer looking for. Hell, FF5 and FF6 are THE heavenly games, I just dunno how they fared on PSX.</div>
