I've only had a brief amount of time with Blue Dragon but what I did play, I really didn't enjoy. I couldn't put my finger on it but there was just something off putting about the whole thing. Again, I didn't get very far so it may have just been a poor beginning.

I haven't played Enchanted Arm at all so I can't say yes or no, but from what I hear its a decent game, but not great. I've also heard that its fairly easy as well as very linear.

Personally, I would stay the HELL away from Eternal Sonata. It got good reviews (for some reason) but the characters are terrible, it has a poorly executed story, minimal enemy types that result in monotonous, boring battles, and throughout the game you basically get bludgeoned over the head with the writers' opinions of 'morals and ethics.' It feels more like a bad commentary on how crappy the world is rather than an actual video game. The amazing songs and good graphics can't save it from its flaws. I genuinely regret buying it and wouldn't even recommed renting it or even borrowing it from a friend for free.

The only one I can wholeheartedly recommend is Lost Odyssey, which I'm right in the middle of and loving. The characters are actually well acted and written, and so is the story. The only real downside for Lost Odyssey that I can see is that some people might be turned off by the dream sequences, which are purely text. Yes, you can skip them but they contain moments of Kaim's life and background that really develop him as a character and I would think you would miss out on a whole lot by doing so. So yeah, Lost Odyssey is a definite if you have the money, and from what I hear $20 for Enchanted Arm is probably a pretty good deal, though I haven't actually played it. I think Blue Dragon is something you really either love or hate so if you can, I would suggest trying the demo first. As for Eternal Sonata, avoid it like the plague.

Does anyone know if Final Fantasy XIII has an overworld like the older FFs or is it more in line with 10, 11 and 12? I couldn't find any solid information either way so I was just wondering if that has even been announced yet. FF12 was good but I really like overworlds in RPGs, I just hope FF hasnt abandoned using them all together.

The only money related reason currently that I don't want to get one (and eventually I will, believe me) is because of the internal blu-ray player.I'm just having a hard time paying the extra money for a blu-ray player that I cant even use.Its not that its too expensive, its just that a blu-ray player is a waste of money for me and I just wish Sony would release a model that didn't have one.

And off topic, I wouldn't call "it has no games" a fanboy excuse, obviously it has games, but I really don't see anything currently that makes me want to own a PS3. FF13 and MGS are two reasons that I will get one though.

The stylus that came with my DS Lite scratched my screen. I wasn't pressing hard or anything but the Stylus had a barb in the tip that put a pretty deep scratch into it. I think Nintendo owes me a new screen.

It never even crossed my mind that this was true until I played Phantom Hourglass. PH has almostfive hours of sidequests, each one of them giving you something cool or useful,and what did Twilight Princess have? Maybe two. Does anyone else find that ridiculous? Even when you did the sidequests in Twilight Princess you got nothing out of it but Magic armor and fairies' tears, two items to make a fairly easy game even easier. I hate to bash TP because I love it, but two sidequests is pretty lame. Hopefully the next Zelda for Wii will take a lesson from Phantom Hourglass.

I'm 18, my sister owns one and she's 24and my other sister is getting one and she's 21. A family friend who's 30 owns one as well.
