Back when the Resident Evil series was hitting it big on the playstation i devoured RE1 and especially RE2. When RE3 was slated to come out i wasn't as excited for it. When i got my hands on a demo i was bored with it and skipped RE3 and ReCV. Several months ago they had a sale for RE games and i decided to give it another chance and honestly it's become one of my favorite RE games. Enjoyed it more then RE1. I say give it a chance esp during the night :3.

IK agree. Legend of Dragoon is a great western rpg that had a lot of innovative ideas with additions and dragoon forms. Combat was a blast and the story actually went pretty well. Very underrated and overshadowed by the bigger RPGS.

It's only $12 bucks on the Wii Virtual Console I believe. That's where I got it.

I've already warned friends and family that when Mass Effect 3 releases, I will effectively fall off the face of the earth for a solid week and a half while I absorb the game's immense amounts of awesome.

I only got into console gaming this generation, so I have a huge backlog of games to play. Luckily, all the consoles, handhelds, and the PC have a huge amount of classic games for sale, so now I own almost my entire backlog.

Right now, I am playing through the entire Final Fantasy series (I'm on III right now).

I so very badly want to say I told you so. But at least you finally played Half-Life 2.

I played to the final boss (I think) in Half-Life 1 on my PS2 and kept dying on it so I gave up and traded it in. Then played through Half-Life 2 to the Black Mesa compound and quit playing to play Portal again. I never went back to Half-Life...I might have to pick it up again and play it. As for list of games I haven't made it around to, I'd say Oblivion. I played it when it first came out, didn't like the combat. Then Skyrim came out and I decided to try Oblivion again, and got into it and the questing. Then I got Skyrim for my birthday and traded in Oblivion for the Skyrim guide (seriously that guide does wonders when finding the Dragon Priest masks). I should probably pick Oblivion up again eventually. Considering the special edition with Knights of the Nine is only 20 bucks. Resident Evil 3. I dunno if people consider it a classic, but it's one of the original Survival Horror games I've never played. I have it downloaded on my Playstation but...for some reason I can't bring myself to play it.

I have never played any of those games. I've always wondered about all the hype Half-Life has though.

I love the Zelda games, but I am ashamed to say that I've never beaten A Link to the Past. I have played it a ton though and it is one of my favorite Zelda games. I played Halflife 2 and the two episodes after it it, and then I went back and beat the original Halflife. All I can say is that it was a big mistake not to play the original first, as after playing Halflife 2, the original seemed pretty rough(Still playable and enjoyable though, but compared to Halflife 2 it could barely stand up). So all I can say is that you shouldn't be ashamed of not playing the original, also all of the story stuff is much better explained online than in the game itself,. Not that I'm hating on the original, it was fun, but just not as fun after playing Halflife 2.

I am demolishing my pile of shame this year; I've already finished the Half-Life series, the Uncharted series, the God of War series and several critically acclaimed games. I've found I can still love the older games (Majora's Mask, FFIV, FFVI, Chrono Trigger); they're just so well-made that they stand the test of time. I really want to play the original Paper Mario but I don't want to spend $20-30 on a rare N64 cartridge.
