2006 Game list Options

[AC9breaker]

So 2007 is finally here and I just realized, we never made our top 2006 games list.
Here's my list.


5. Zelda Twilight Princess
I actually haven't played it but I know its going to be awesome. Would have probably been one had I played it.


4. PSU
What can I say, I loves my PSU.


3. Final Fantasy III
Obviously I never played the original FF3, but for some reason this game brings back alot of feelings of Nostalgia. Touch screen makes it all the more enjoyable for me.


2. Okami
Such an Awesome game, too bad it didn't get the recognition it deserved. really magical, enchanting and charming. I play this game and I'm literally transported to another world. This game is really a Zelda game, made for PS2.



1. Gears of War
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Any game that keeps me activly playing for 6 hours is a winner. Everytime I made a headshot I just had to stick my tongue out to see if the blood would land on it and I could taste alien brain.


*Honorable mentions
Metriod Prime Hunters
Elite Beat Agents
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade

Heres my list


5, Final Fantasy XII
I haven't played it much which is a shame since I normally don't put the controller down untill I'm done, but I like the new direction for the game to make it less like the sterotypical "JP RPG"


4, Final Fantasy III
Now to say the opposite of what I said about XII, I llove the old school feel of the remake and the DS fuctionality of the game. The only draw back is I would have love to see FFVI get the same treatment and not just another gba port like the other Nintendo era FF's


3, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
What can I say? Yet another great 2D Castlevania game or Metroidvania is you prefer. Great story, new takes on classic monsters many have new sprites, and of course awesome level design. This game proves that lack of change is not always a bad thing.


2, The Legend of Zelda: The Twlight Princess (GC)
Heres the Zelda game we should have gotten 3 years ago, the same great feel of the N64 Zelda's backed by the gamecube's awesome proformance. From characters to monsters to dungeons and a 40+ hour game time truly makes this game an epic. But alas it took to damn long to come out and then having to wait even longer for the gamecube version was bleh.


1, Phantasy Star Universe
As suprised as I am, I was sucked back into it, much better game then the vortex of dispair known as Final Fantasy 11 and oddly enough PSU does things on the ps2 version that square says is impossable to ie the vast amount of storage space and character cusomtization and coming up with a solution for large amount of character's on the screen with out massive lag. Though Sega made a bad choice of relying on Gameguard and for a bit suffered from slow release of content. To be fair Sega's intent was for people to play the offline mode then goto the online mode, but as proven with the JP release that was a huge understatment and the Sega America screwed up the US launch due to problems with billing site. But for sticking with the game I think its more then earned the price of admission with all thats being offered.

Edit- Alas, I forgot one game, the grandest of them all...

Literati!
