Totally unexpected ending. Let's see how well I did.

1. Metroid Zero Mission - Correct.
2. Xenogears - Correct.
3. Final Fantasy - One off.
4. Shadow Hearts - One off.
5. Super Metroid - Two off.
6. Tetris - One off.
7. Final Fantasy IV - 5 off.
8. ??? - Correct.
9. Shadow Hearts: Covenant - 3 off.
10. Xenosaga III - Correct.
11. ??? - Two off.
12. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - One off.

Not too bad, I guess. Things have changed around a bit since last time.

OBJECTION

Tranny, while I do so love that FFX is in your top 15, I disagree on one point.

Low replay value? Blitzball has gotten me at least 200 hours. Also, replaying it and turning Lulu into a melee and turning Auron into a mage is always fun :)

But that is probably just me being a ridiculous fanboy. Oh well, good list.

Shaggy Update!

47 - Chrono Cross – I bought this game for ten dollars but I haven’t played it yet. I’m waiting to finish Chrono Trigger first
46 – Arkanoid – I have played computer knock-offs of this tons of times, but I literally just played the original yesterday – good game and hard
44 - Super Mario World – My favorite Mario game, and in my top ten all time
42 - Wii Sports – Fun to play with friends, I have no need for a Wii though
39 - God of War 2 – I loved the first, but I am waiting to play this till the price drops to $20
37 - Xenosaga II – I should play this, I own it. I played the first and immediately tried playing this but the intro bored me so much I quit and haven’t played it since
35 - Final Fantasy VII – Playing this now. Haven’t had much time to make progress recently
31 - Final Fantasy VI – Love this game but I have never actually beat it. I played the crap out of it on the SNES. I put in about 52 hours, characters around level 75, did just about everything including un-cursing the cursed shield and was just going to learn Ultima and then go to the last dungeon when my cartridge crapped out on me and I lost my saved game. Then I tried playing it as an emulator on my computer which was good until my hard drive failed and I lost my game saves again. Eventually I will beat the game.
21 - Everybody Loves Katamari Damacy – Never played this one, but I love the first
18 - Dance Dance Revolution - ehhh
16 – Suikoden – my first PSX game I ever played, I liked it. I also spent like 33 hours playing it and got 104 of the starts of destiny (my friend was able to beat it in 15 hours).
14 - Final Fantasy X – Good game, I had fun playing it, but I thought the game peeked in Zanarchand, I wasn’t all that impressed by the final conclusion of the game. Still good though.
13 - Chrono Trigger – I still need to finish this, I am just a few hours into it.
12 - Final Fantasy IV – Never played, but I would like to eventually
11 - Phoenix Wright – I feel like I should play this just because of how much this board hypes it up.
10 - Xenosaga III – Will play sometime after I beat the second
7 – Tetris – I love tetris. Who doesn’t?
6 - Shadow Hearts II / 5 - Shadow Hearts – I have heard from lots of people both IRL and on this board that these games are really good, so I shall play them eventually
#4: Final Fantasy – I will hopefully play this eventually, because I would like to eventually play all of the Final Fantasy’s
#3: Super Metroid – If I ever see this I will buy it. Who knows if that will happen
#2: Xenogears – I definitely want to play this. Maybe I will this summer.

This really is a cool list.

Only game I really don't like is FF. I dunno, the first time I played it was 2 years ago and I got to the elf town, before I just stopped. Maybe I would have liked it if I played it like 15 years ago or something. I tend to only like old games when I actually played them back when they were released.

It would have been nice if they brought Xenosaga properly over here too, oh well. I can play Xenogears any time I want, so I guess I should get to that some time soon.

And I wish I could find a Shadow Hearts game that isn't From the New World. Grrr.

Hmmm...I played Zero Mission up to a certain point, and then I lost interest. Haven't picked it up since. Same thing happened with Metroid Prime, until I finally forced myself to keep playing to see what the big deal was.

This would be cool, if my PS2 played American games. Also according to a friend who works at one of those stores all those From the New World games are placeholders and for people to pre-order it and that they probably won't be getting that many games either. So yeah I don't think it's actually out here yet. I probably won't be getting it either, number 17 on the list of one of the biggest SH fans doesn't cut it for me! Oh and after tonight I'll probably be broke too.

I also gave up on Prime after about 10 hours or so, after I realized I was going to have to go back to some places I'd already been to collect some artifacts - I just didn't enjoy navigating that world in 3d. Zero Mission on the other hand is awesome.

I won FFVII off ebay for 4 bucks, should get it soon.

Let's see if my prediction was right...

13 - Chrono Trigger - Played
12 - Final Fantasy IV
11 - Phoenix Wright
10 - Xenosaga III
9 - Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
8 - F-Zero GX
7 - Tetris - Played
6 - Shadow Hearts II
5 - Shadow Hearts
4 - Final Fantasy - Played and didn't like very much.
3 - Super Metroid
2 - Xenogears
1 - Metroid: Zero Mission - Played

I've played four when I guessed 2, oh well, I was close.
