Suikoden 4

This followup's like a bunch of sweet candy fillings inside a large clunky crumpled-up piece of paper. There's some really fun stuff to be seen in this game and a decent story, but the overall packaging leaves much to be desired.

 

God of War

Looks great, fun gory stuff, but I didn't really play it after the first day I got it.

Paper Mario 2

Makes me miss the way Final Fantasy games took themselves a bit too seriously.

Jade Empire

Fun, but too short. Well made and with the spirit of a good Kung Fu movie.

Final Fantasy Tactics

This classic never gets old.

 

Romance of the Three Kingdoms X

A fairly good representation of the series. But not Koei's best.

Killer 7

An interesting foray into madness and anime.

X-men Legends 2

Fun time brawler, altho it's a little disapointing that not all of the characters in the first game made it into the second.

Indigo Prophacy

They call it an "adventure game" Alls I know is I likes it.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radience

Good strategy RPG, got a bit long tho.

Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates

Finally an MMORPG without levels, where players can be competitive with other players right from the get go. The graphics may seem low-tech and they are, but still it's a really fun experience that can be done for free even.

Dragon Quest 8

Game mechanics seem kinda klunky but it's really just old school. Good soundtrack, done by a philharmonic, sounds very epic, but perhaps a bit to stuffy & Toriyama's art design looks great with the cell-shading, 3D world.
