Well, here I am, sitting and waiting for Dragon Age and Alpha Protocol to come out, and to keep me occupied I have went and picked up some PS2 RPGs. Recently purchased Mana Khemia, Tales of Legendia, Tales of the Abyss, Lord of the Ring:The Third Age, Shadow Hearts, Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter,and Star Ocean:Till the end of Time. So far I have cracked open MK, SH, and LOTR, and Shadow Hearts is my favorite out of the trio. It seems a bit quirky, and I dig that :P

I wish that they would come out with more RPGs for the PS3, but I am enjoying the ones that I never got to play back in the day when they came out, now. As prolific as the PS2 was, and the bevy of RPGs that came out on it (not all of them were great though), the chance to load up on some really great games for not that much cash outlay (less than $60) was to good to pass up.

Maybe if the developers would take note that there is a bevy of gamers clamoring for PS3 rpgs they would get off their cans and roll some out, at least more than the paltry few that the have so far. It is sad, and if I had the capital to push a new label out to give the RPG gamers more variety than what is out there now, I would do it in a heartbeat. We want new stories, new loot, new character builds, new sweet looking swords, blasters, armor, chicks in chain mail bikinis, beautiful spells, awesome special effects, cut scenes to make us drool! The games that are out now are good, don't get me wrong, but the genre is STAGNATING from lack of competition!

Well, enough of a rant. It is just a little sad though, don't you think? Thanks for listening to my ramblings :)
