1. Sin & Punishment: Star Successor (Wii)
2. Vay (Sega CD)
3. Super Mario Sunshine (GCN)
4. Wario Land (VB)
5. Battletoads/Double Dragon (SNES)
6. Panzer Dragoon (Sat)

8. Gex (3DO)
9. FFVIII (PS)
10. FFXII (PS2)
In the last week was I able to finish off both Gex and Battletoads/Double Dragon.
Gex was more of less forgettable. It was slow, wierd and occasionally annoying. The save system was horrendous, but being a short and fairly easy game it turned out not to be to big of a deal. I dont really know what to say about it other than "meh".
Battletoads/Double Dragon on the other hand was a wonderful experience. It was a great blend of the two series in everyway. The battletoads themed levels with DD bosses and vice versa was a fun way to mash them together. The music was really great all around, there was a nice variety of levels (even including an Asteroids style level), and a good deal of quirkyness involved in the combat. My only complaints are the last boss/level was very anticlimactic and a little pathetic and the hover bike area was ridiculously easy. It you can finish a hoverbike ride on your first attempt without losing any lives its not a very good representation of a Battletoads hoverbike stage. Overall I really enjoyed it and will definitely play it again in the future, hopefully co-op.
Now for the bad news. I'm officially giving up on FFVIII after painstakingly reaching the final dungeon. I've been playing lots but progressing so slowly that I've lost all desire to play the game any more. Its not often that I give up when I'm so incredibly close to the end, but its gonna make me very happy to move on from this game sooner rather than later. So to round out a list of 10 again I've decided to include Chrono Cross in place of FFVIII. I also played Chrono Cross a long time ago (around the same time I first played FFVIII), and didnt seem to enjoy it back then. But after spending so many hours on FFVIII I have a feeling Chrono Cross is really going to shine this time around.

Can't blame you on FFVIII. With such a strange magic system I could never get far into it myself.
| |
still surprised to see you quit with well over a month left in the Summer.
| |
iirc, the goal isn't to beat them all but to give them all at least a fair shake. I'd say you've done that.

some RPGs arnt for everyone (and almost all arnt for me). From what ive heard, CC is great. let me know how it is ^_^

@Duke - I know! Magic was treated like Items and Items were still treated like Items, so.... it was like whats the point?
@noiseredux - I'm a bit surprised myself, but I honestly cant remember wanting to move on from a game so badly in my life. And I've played some pretty crappy games to completion before.
@dsheinem - I assumed the goal was to complete them, but I do feel I've experienced the game enought to pass judgement on it for sure.
@Neo - I'll definietly give my views on Chrono Cross both during and afterwards. Really looking forward to starting something new.
