Yes Blue Dragon...why must you always go into battle mode with EVERY FREAKING POO SNAKE!!! I'm like 10 levels above them and i will obviously own them YET i go into battle mode...hate turn based RPGs

I dont understand the hatred for anime production such as avatar, naruto etc etc...i personally like watching japanease anime such as naurto and avatar, beats the usual crap coming from westernised cartoon publishers such as if you remember Cow and Chicken, wtf was that about? SERIOUSLY WTF WAS THAT ABOUT and recent cartoons which seem to be proping up everywhere on nick and cartoon network are also pointless crap, frankly spongebob is the only good thing on them channels!

Anime i think allows viewers to see a surreal side were almost anything is possible thus you see anime such as Naruto having a main character having a demon inside of him while in avatar you learn of a kid that can master the four elements. So what if it sounds weird? Doesn't matter, only thing matters is they entertain and they do....

I understand your point on the way it takes a freaking long time for the plot to develop but thats due to the actual shortness of the series and also the people funding these anime production studios tryin to milk the money out of the show and how they do that? They extend the series for a longer period of time, thus in every episode the plot develops at a slower speed.

To be honest you can't simply say you should ban all anime because frankly its a matter of opinion, you hate it others love it same as with marmite....

personally it depends on the RPG you like whether being turn based or not etc. Sonata i agree looks good but i personally dont like it due to it being turn based.

But if you like that kinda thing then try that as well as looking at Blue Dragon, that game was produced by the same person who worked on final fantasy!

Wow another great feet of research...mice no longer scared of cats. Wasnt the fact that mice being scared of cats prevented them from being eaten as with that fear they ran away from the predator....and now well...thre gonna get devoured. Can anyone actually tell me how this will benefit any organism at all?

People not being scared of their fears? What is so wrong with being afraid of things?

Personally, get a game in every genre, so you can firstly see what you like and also havea wide variety of games available rather than just having loads of fps and then realising u dont like that genre of games.

Like others have said i would get:

Halo 3 - multiplayer is a great feature, but i presume you havent played the first two so the single player campaign will make little or no sense.

Mass Effect- one of the most sought after and bought xbox games in terms of RPG. Finsihed single player today and am gonna start again just to see another side of the game. However, doesnt have multiplayer so thats a minus side, but trust me the campaign makes up for it.

Orange Box- has all the episodes so you can catch up with whats going on, Team fortress..mutliplayer fun and portal just for the sheer thrill of something new and not seen

Fifa or Pro evolution- if your into football games either will do.

Other two im not really sure :P
