    The greaest Final Fantasy ever made; also the greatest PS2 game ever made. The next generation can wait another year.

    Final Fantasy XII

    By living_wmd_888 | Review Date: Apr 06, 2007 | PS2

    The greaest Final Fantasy ever made; also the greatest PS2 game ever made. The next generation can wait another year.

    After five years of development (planning for FFXII began before FFIX was released) the abrupt departure of director Yasumi Matsuno, and the infamously panned demo packaged with Dragon Quest VIII, the final version of FF... Read Full Review

    Final Fantasy VI Advance

    By living_wmd_888 | Review Date: May 30, 2007 | GBA

    One of the great sentinel events in video gaming, remastered for a new generation to appreciate.

    Final Fantasy is, after The Legend of Zelda, my favorite gaming series, and this is the game that started it for me. I played this game on the Super NES when I was 16, and was absolutely hooked from start to finish - I s... Read Full Review

    By living_wmd_888 | Review Date: Mar 28, 2006 | GC

    Resident Evil 4 is a textbook example of how to successfully evolve a classic gaming series.<br />

    Resident Evil was the best original gaming property born during the N64/PlayStation era. Its then state-of-the-art graphics and suspenseful storytelling were one-of-a-kind during the day; it was like an interactive horro... Read Full Review

    The greatest side-scroller of all time, this Super NES masterpiece belongs in any Wii owner's library.

    Super Metroid

    By living_wmd_888 | Review Date: Aug 28, 2007 | SNES

    The greatest side-scroller of all time, this Super NES masterpiece belongs in any Wii owner's library.

    Even on the NES, Nintendo managed to make Metroid into a dark, moody space opera: Nintendo's answer to Alien and Sigourney Weaver. It's no coincidence that the main villain of Metroid - other than the eponymous floating ... Read Full Review

    The best game of 2005 isn't one of the lackluster "next generation" offerings, but this magnificent PS2 RPG.<br /> <br

    Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi

    By living_wmd_888 | Review Date: Jan 14, 2006 | PS2

    The best game of 2005 isn't one of the lackluster "next generation" offerings, but this magnificent PS2 RPG.<br /> <br

    Because of its lack of proficiency in the graphics department, Dragon Quest (formerly known as Dragon Warrior in the US due to recently resolved trademark issues) has remained in obscurity in the US despite arguably be... Read Full Review

    With its novelty gone, GTA: San Andreas is a goulash of gameplay elements done much better elsewhere.

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

    By living_wmd_888 | Review Date: Apr 05, 2007 | PS2

    With its novelty gone, GTA: San Andreas is a goulash of gameplay elements done much better elsewhere.

    When I first saw the GTA games on the PlayStation, I thought they looked like the worst of the 16-bit generation, let alone the era of FFVII and Ocarina of Time. I could not understand for the life of me what all those g... Read Full Review

    Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life

    By living_wmd_888 | Review Date: Jan 16, 2006 | GC

    The best Harvest Moon to date, with greatly improved production values, and an all-around great "Sim."<br />

    Harvest Moon: AWL is not for everyone. I'll say that right now. It is a lot of repetitive tasks. It requires a great deal of patience. It has no action, not even the strategic battles of other RPGs. This game is gettin... Read Full Review

    Not only the best GCN RPG, but ranks with FFX and Dragon Quest VIII as one of the best RPGs of this generation.<br />

    Tales of Symphonia

    By living_wmd_888 | Review Date: Jan 16, 2006 | GC

    Not only the best GCN RPG, but ranks with FFX and Dragon Quest VIII as one of the best RPGs of this generation.<br />

    Namco has become one of my favorite game publishers in this generation of games (after Nintendo and Square Enix). Tales of Symphonia is one of the reasons why. Namco has put a great deal of effort into this title, and th... Read Full Review
