If it's anything like the PS1 version, Klonoa 2 won't be under $20 for much longer. OK, "unique, cheap games" makes a lot of sense. Here's a few PS2 ideas to get you started. Disaster Report - survival horror-like, but with a crumbling city as the obstacle rather than an armada of zombies...

Probably 80-90% of the PS2 catalogue (less so for the GBA, at least for the good titles) is available for less than $20. What kind of stuff do you have already, or that you like in general? $5 N64 games are more of a crapshoot. You'll have no trouble finding many of the sports titles (soccer...

Andre3k, you never mentioned whether you have other portables, or are even considering them as an option. If you don't have anything from the last 5 years, then a GBA SP would be the best bet. You get a wide selection of games from that platform alone plus the back catalogue of the previous...

The lingering rumour is that he finds the guys yummy too, so...

It was included with the same email from Andy that contained the June releases spreadsheet, but if your mail program is anything like mine, it got bungled pretty badly. Strangely, it looks perfect through webmail.

I have a better idea of what you're talking about, and I agree with a lot more of it than I did before. It certainly did open the floodgates to hypersexed videogame chicks. One thing I'm wondering is that Lara Croft was in fact the first titular, no pun intended, female character to reach...

Heh. Well, thanks for the backhanded compliment. On a more general note, there needs to be a "pot calling the kettle black" emoticon whever the term "nerd" is used in a gaming forum. :)

Since most movies, and all Hollywood ones especially, depend on wall-to-wall dialogue, a Metroid movie is pretty tricky. The easy thing would be place Samus at the head of a squad, in a standard thriller situation where the Metroids or whatever other baddies pick off her squad-mates one at a...

I totally agree with that, and I don't blame Enix at all for gearing it completely to their Japanese home crowd, it being their cash cow and all. All this talk is starting to make me feel like popping it into my PS1, seeing just how it holds up after a few years.

I completely agree about Halo, even though it wouldn't be nearly as high as other FPS titles like DOOM, Quake or Half-Life. Tomb Raider has to be on the list, but not for the sexuality reasons - there were many games before that used sexuality, such as the early-to-mid-90s "interactive...

This game may not be well-known in modern gaming circles, but it's one of the Atari 2600's more famous and enduring titles. I wouldn't call it one of the Top 10 most important games for the Easter Egg thing, but it has other merits. The template for the game is almost a direct ancestor to The...

Interesting. I had the opposite reaction, as the title screams to me, "bland RTS retread" or "poor man's Fantasy-inspired Civilization". A shame, since the title does look somewhat interesting after reading the article.

If anyone's still interested in picking this up, EBGames seems to really want to get rid of it now. Found one for $5 there a couple of weeks back. I'll report back with impressions once I get through the 5342 other PC games ahead of it in my queue.

Believe me, if I were the one designing the game, I'd have streamlined the gameplay and culled the length at least half. At least the necessary stuff, that is. I'm certainly all for including lots of content, just past a reasonable point it's optional (see: Disgaea). With DW7, I did enjoy the...

Heh, I even pre-ordered that one back in the day. Dragon Warrior was one of my first great gaming "moments", so I've got an irrational love for the series.
