Good vid games no more?

[kotobuki]

I've been stuck with old games for a couple of months! I see no new games that are interesting to me! I must be going crazy if I'm the only one who notices that there are not that many new and exciting games out?!
Yes, I know about the PS3 but that's in a few months... and I did play KH2 .. Anyone have any games they like that have come out recently to help with my game boredom ?

(PS2 / XBOX / NDS / PC)

PS2

* Devil May Cry 3
This has been one of the more addicting games I've played lately. If you like the fighting action games, this game might be for you.

* Dragon Quest VIII
One of the best old-school RPGs ever. There's a whole topic on the board dedicated to this game, including a more indepth review. read it here


Hmm.. I really haven't played that many games lately. I only own two games for the GC (Wind Waker and Metroid Prime) so not much help there. Andy or Scott could probably help you find some games though.

Define 'come out recently' as in the last couple of years or like the last few months..

Summer is always a horrid time for gaming.. almost nothing good comes out during the summer. Your best bet is around Christmas, thats when they pump out all the heavy hitters, and the few months after too.

If you mean the last few years... where you been? God of War, Devil May Cry 3, Soul Calibur 3, Katamari Damacy (and its sequels) Kingdom Hearts II of course, Gitaroo Man... (not that new but I reccomend it to everyone.) MGS3, and Hey, there's always plenty of old stuff you may have missed too.

All in all though, this year, it has been suck after suck as far as gaming goes.. the lastest thing I bought was KH 2, and that was way back in March.. there has been next to nothing that has caught my attention since then.. I think the only thing that even looms on the horizon is Final Fantasy XII and I'm not terribly excited about that.

The Ratchet and Clank games are fun to play as well. Also, Megaman Anniversary Collection and the Megaman X Collection is great too. Uh.. lot's of other games too, but can't think of them at the moment.

Metroid games are good as well, and the Xenosaga games are good too if you like rpgs. Legend of Zelda games too, of course.

You might want to check out Rogue Galaxy TC. It's a pretty awesome RPG from the makers of Dark Cloud I & II and Dragon Quest VIII.

Also you might want to check out Ninja Gaiden for the XBOX. That's easily my favorite action game of all. It's difficult, but it's worth the trouble.

The only games I've played recently that I thought were good would probably be Tales of Symphonia and 2 GBA games, Riviera: The Promised Land and Yggdra Union (which were both done by the same company). And for a game I was playing recently even though it was old, I loved Phantasy Star Online and still do. It's story may be a little on the weak side, but it's not a bad story, and the game play is very addicting.
