Wow Xenokitten, you've certainly played a lot of games. I've played a few of your favorites, like Munchkin, but certainly not all of them. I'll list those done as future games-to-play. I play Magic the Gathering with my boyfriend too. He taught me how to play. I agree, it's a really good game.

You made me want to learn the piano again just now. Symphony of the Night just has the best music, hands down! It's my favorite game of all time. You should try Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia as well. While it doesn't equal Symphony of the Night, and it certainly has a different feel, it's also...

I remember Jenga. I used to play a similar game called Uno Stacko. Those were definitely family board game night staples. It looks like almost everyone around here got to play Monopoly and Scrabble. :) Those are definitely the games that are most associated with childhood memories, I guess.

Is it safe to assume that the 3DS is continuing the trend of the DS in that the majority of the games are kid-friendly? If so, I think that the Vita is the right handheld for me. I don't have much patience for kid-friendly games.

The Super Stickman Golf series looks very interesting. I will try them out. As for Gameloft, I think a lot of their games are bloated. It's true that they have some great ideas, though.

Funnily enough, I know some people who actually liked that Castlevania 64 game. I never tried it, though. I didn't have an N64. Although SotN is part of the next era of Castlevania games, the latest era is the one started by CV: Lords of Shadow. I didn't really like that game, though.

The 2-D sidescrolling platformer for the Playstation 1 was Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was a 2-D sidescrolling platformer for the NES. :) I think you should try the other games in the series that are available on PSP and the DS. They're similar to SotN. My...

I generally like fantasy RPG's and side scrollers. I bought the DS Lite just for the Castlevania games, and I bought the PSP just for Crisis Core. Why do you think 3DS has a brighter future?

Of course, I played Monopoly and Clue as a kid, too. I've never heard of Masterpiece, though. It sounds cool. As for D&D, it's been around forever, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding a play group.

Just checked out Noodlecake. They have a really large selection of games for an indie company, don't they? I thought they'd have fewer. Any favorites?

Does Symphony of the Night count as an older game, though? :) Most people I know generally don't count it as a ClassicVania, but rather as a MetroidVania. Good to see a fellow fan here!

Do you have any indie game developers in mind? Personally, I don't really follow any Android developers because I find that almost all of them are hit and miss.

I'm thinking of getting either a Vita or the new 3DS. I only have the money to buy one of them. My main consideration is the game selection. I've heard there are a lot of good games for the 3DS, but I don't know much about the Vita games. Do you have any thoughts on this?

I'm a fan of all things Castlevania, including the classics, of course. Dracula's Curse was extremely difficult for me, though. Are there any Castlevania fans here?

I haven't played that game yet, but from my experience, Harry Potter games tend to be badly made. Since you said this one was good, though, I might give it a shot. How long did it take you to play the entire game?

Board games have just experienced a resurgence in popularity. We're all gamers here, but what about old school board or tabletop gaming? Do you have any favorites? Personally, I want to get the Game of Thrones board game.
