The gaming thread!!!

I thought its time someone created this as clearly there are plenty of videogamers on the forum.

Basically, its just a place where the gamers can come discuss new games or ones they're playing and things about the industry. One thing I hope we can avoid though is "gaming wars" topics (e.g. "PS2 is best and XBOX and GC suck" etc...), as this is normally little more than a pointless argument as each console has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Anyway, I made a comment in the "Brighter things in life thread" so I'll copy and paste that here...

I have been playing Final Fantasy X-2 in my spare time on my PS2. I love FF games since VII and must say up until now was a little disappointed with X-2. However, as I reach the conclusion of this game, I am truly loving it. Its a pure joy to play, with a top notch storyline (something I have come to expect from FF) and absoloutly beautiful characters and stunning visuals. I really admit I'm hooked and I can't wait to see how the story ends.

Any other FF players out there?


Continuing on with the FF theme, I saw every FFXII trailer yesterday and it looks outstanding. It reminds me of the classic Vagrant Story on PS1.

As you guys probably guessed, I'm quite a fan of FF and have completed every single one from VII onwards (not including XI which is online).

Also, to note, I can't wait till Dragon Quest VIII, its about time the west got to see this classic series (its as popular as FF in Japan). I'm praying it will be released in Europe, unlike Xenosaga, which I waited years to get for it only to never get released (Namco can be so annoying )
