I'm looking for some games to tide me over since I've beaten what I own right now and am left with just Rock Band for a while (which I don't want to wear out).
I'd like to find a good JRPG to sink my teeth into, or possibly an RTS, but am really open to anything (not so big on FPS games but I'll give them a shot of they're good..and easy). Here is an example of the types of games I play:
Games I like (stars denote favourites):
Chrono Trigger*
Chrono Cross
FFVI
FFVII*
FFX*
Metal Gear Solid 1*, 2 and 3
Shadow of the Colossus
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune*
Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Diablo II w/ expansion
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 w/ expansion*
Warcraft II w/ expansion
STALKER
Age of Empires 1 and 2
Fallout 1 and 2
Games I don't like:
FFVIII (this game made me give up on the FF series until last year when I finally played X)
FFXII (bored by the characters, setting and story)
Warcraft III
Starcraft
Oblivion (boring. see FFXII)
I have played and beat COD4, Assassin's Creed, and Heavenly Sword, will be borrowing Folklore later, and currently I'm trying to get a copy of Xenogears and Bushido Blade off of Goozex. Also, later this month I will have a PSP and Crisis Core, but I'd like something to play at home since the PSP will be mostly for travelling.
I'm more looking for a classic PS1 JRPG in the vein of FFVII, though since PS1 games are hard to find around here, I'm not going to be too picky. Suggest away!

Will be borrowing Suikoden 3 from a friend though, and on the lookout for ICO.
CoH and SoSE look interesting. I'll have to see how much they're going for around here.

Okami
C&C3
Have you played orange box? There is no better value in gaming right now. You said you're not too big on FPS's, but Portal and TF2 aren't your standard FPS experience. And HL2 and episodes are a blast to fly through on easy.
And speaking of Okami, I was just looking at picking it up to trade on Goozex, heh (24.99 at EB, 800 points on Goozex which is the equivalent of 40.00. Score!) so I might as well give it a run through before I trade it.
I'll see if I can borrow C&C3 from someone. How does it compare to RA2 and Generals? I played Generals at a LAN center once but I found it was a lot slower than RA2, and I prefer RA2's speed.

I haven't really played RA2 or Generals, but C&C3 is deffinitely fast. You have access to pretty much all units within 10 or 15 minutes, and the battles get pretty epic within the same amount of time.
