Start Your Engines

Advantages: You can never get bored
Disadvantages: Rates high on the wife's naggometer

...I want to say about Gran Tourismo is wife's WATCH OUT!!! I can't get my husband off this game. He is totally hooked. Gran Tourismo definately seems more of a man's game as opposed to a woman's. Hey, maybe that's just my opinion, but I'm not really into fast racing car games. My husband's opinion is that this is the most addictive game on the play station with the smoothest touch of any racing game. This is so realistic that you get lost in the ...
...the game so enjoyable. Gran Tourismo has it all from the Nissan Micra to 900 Plus Horse Power Monster's which you would not dream of getting in, in real life unless you were a complete nutter or had a death wish! Graphics are spot on because the cars move reastically like real cars do. For example, games like Ridge Racer seem to have floating cars, but Gran Tourismo in my opinion has the most realistic cars by far. The sound tracks on Gran Tourismo ...

Final Fantasy 8 - Best Final Fantsy ever!

Advantages: Awesome gameplay, easy to play once you are past the basics, amazing movie sequences
Disadvantages: Only text dialogue, on 4 disks

Final Fantasy VIII (or 8) was the first FF game i played and it was for the Playstation. The first time i played it i couldnt put it down for days, its was very addictive and extremeley exciting to play. I like the use of the GF (Guardian Force) system, (i like any game with summons). Also trying to aquire all of the GF's is a challenge and helps to give side quests to get the rare ones. The storyline of this game sets you up for all of the action ...
...that i have downloaded the Final Fantasy VIII (8) soundtrack onto my computer and listen to it regularly. This game has everything for anyone who is willing to give it a chance, as the beginning is a little slow as you need to get used to the gameplay and learn how to do everything, but once you have grasped the basic concept you should be away in no time. The graphics are good for the time when it came out (remember it is after all a PS1 game). ...

Black and White - Don't go there.

Advantages: The CD makes a nice coffee mat.
Disadvantages: Everything.

When playing this game, i kept thinking "Yes, this game has to be awesome..i mean, you can play god!" I was sorely mistaken. The game is boring, and badly designed. The fact you can't move out of the specific circle around your village makes destroying or converting other villages difficult, and you must figure out puzzles, that if you do one thing wrong, back to your last save. This game is hyped up to be something it isn't. Fun. sure, you can ...
...insanely hard to do, and..yeah, you have godly powers..that need you to complete a special puzzle to get.. no, this game is only for hardcore puzzle maniacs, and i definitely didn't like it. The later levels are just as bad, but employ..guess what? MORE puzzles, with a harder difficulty. this isn't so much an RPG, as a puzzle game. The creature system could be better, but isn't. You can lead your creature around, and he can even step out of that ...
