Custom Robo Arena for the DS ought to give you a good time.

Otherwise check out Final Fantasy Tactics A2 which is brand new.

In my opinion, Fallout 1 and 2 were very boring turn-based games with terrible graphics, but they had a great story. So if that story is made into a Oblivion-st.yle game, then it will be awesome.

But IMO, Diablo 2 was the best game ever made so far, and Diablo 3 will probably be even better.

Fallout 2 was seriously one of the greatest PC RPGs of all time. Yeah, the graphics haven't necessarily held up well, but the game's graphics were designed well over a decade ago now. The great thing about the Fallout series is that it invented the open-ended RPG. Oblivion took open-endedness to a new level, and it looks like they're using Fallout's same RPG elements (the SPECIAL stats system, perks, traits, skills, karma, etc.) so I don't really understand people who say it's going to be "dumbed down" as someone said earlier. These are the moans of the closed-minded, not willing to take a chance.

As for te boring turn-based thing, I found it very fun! It did get repetitive after a while but battle speeds could be dramatically sped up in the options. Battle was one small part of the amazing RPG that was Fallout. You were right, Timberwolf5578, to say that it will tranlsate well to an Oblivion-style game. Oblivion itself owes the creation of its genre to Fallout, the godfather of free-roaming PC RPGs.

I am glad Fallout is getting another sequel, and I'm extremely glad that it's changing with the times, while still keeping many of its traditional elements. I played the Van Buren Fallout 3 demo that Interplay was working on back in the day and it was nothing special. It would've been met with poor to mixed reviews at best. The graphics, even for that time, were unimpressive. The gameplay brought some new things to the table, but for the most part it was more of the same. So I say THANK GOD Bethesda is doing Fallout 3. They'll do it justice, and all the "Mark my words, Fallout 3 will suck" people can just go eat a dick for all I care, because people like me at least have enough logic to hope.

Tactical RPG is my favorite genre but FFTA2 only recently came out on the DS.
Before that my favorite games generally don't fit in a box... Custom Robo Arena. I also enjoy Worms OW2. I love Nintendo's original games, especially the platformers like New Super Mario Brothers.

I think when Disgaea DS comes out later this fall I can officially say that Tactical RPGs are my favorite established genre on the DS. Hopefully it'll pick up in popularity and we can see a few more before the DS dies.

Metal Gear Solid 4 looks like: the rest of them - overly preachy stories and far too much silliness (vampires, guys who shoot BEES at you, other silliness), and like all MGS games, the gameplay exists to give context to the story rather than vice versa, making it more a film than a game, and not necessarily a particularly good film. With the exception of the end of MGS3, both 2 and 3 had weak stories.

Fallout 3: a Bethesda roleplaying game. Or to translate, a roleplaying game with no actual capacity for roleplaying, as well as shallow, recycled characters, far too few voice actors (and bad voice work), and awful, generic dialogue.

Diablo 3: too early to say for sure, but a lot of the guys central to Diablo 2's development have set sail, and it's hard to predict what kind of impact that will have on the game, but Blizzard is clearly trying to stick with what works, changing almost nothing, so it's not unreasonable to imagine it being simply an enhanced version of Diablo 2, which was an excellent game.

What a negative nancy you are.

I agree about MGS4 but you're giving Bethesda and Blizzard not enough credit.

Diablo 3 will rock but it's not the same as Fallout 3. MGS4 isn't my thing, to be frank.

I'm looking forward to Fallout 3 more overall I think, but I am still going to have a raging hard-on when D3 comes out.
