    God of War isn't worth 40 dollars. It's a good game, but there isn't enough content for the asking price.

    If you can get it for less than 30, Silent Hill Origins is a decent buy.

    It's all I've played so far, sadly. I'll be renting R+C next.

    Please get MGA2, it's so much better than the first, and you can unlock my card with TheSpaniard in the password screen. The game is only like 15 bucks new now.

    I always put a copy of your card in my decks for you Spaniard. That and its kinda nifty.

    Another suggestion that I haven't seen here: Loco Roco. Maybe slightly overrated, but pretty sweet nonetheless, especially if you dig the style of Patapon.

    Could those of us who don't own it get clued in on this?

    Keen! No picture of the card though. Or are they not visual cards, just stats/abilities?

    I'm enjoying Monster Hunter Freedom 2 a fair bit. I would strongly suggest picking that up.

    I've really hit a wall with MHF2, the controls just don't seem good enough to allow me to react to huge rampaging monsters.

    I had a look around but couldn't find a picture of the Possessed Arm one he made.

    Here's a few of them to look at. They all have artwork, along with their effects and many have cutscenes that play when you use them.

    I've really hit a wall with MHF2, the controls just don't seem good enough to allow me to react to huge rampaging monsters.

    The controls were what killed MHF2 for me -- it seems like a great dungeon crawler, but the controls and battle combos are just too rigid and full of unskippable animations. It gets a lot of love around here but I was done with it before my rental ended. If you jigger it to get online play, though (which requires XKai and a separate wireless dongle to fool the game into thinking it's handling local wi-fi), it should be a lot more enjoyable.

    And yes, much love for FFT: War of the Lions. As a word nerd, I find the retranslation alone well worth the $40 price point. I've posted this before, but this is still one of my favorite examples:
    Original PS1 FFT wrote:
    Golagros: Get out of here now! What if something happens to her? And don't do anything funny! There's tons of powder inside the fort! More than enough to blow all of you to hell and back! Got it? Then, get out!

    Versus the PSP version:
    PSP War of the Lions wrote:
    Gragoroth: Back whence you came! Quick as shadows, or this one's blood makes crimson snow! Do not think to try my patience! This keep packs such a store of powder as you could scarce imagine! More than enough to deliver the lot of you to the Father's keeping, should your feet lack proper haste!

    I always felt that FFT was a game ahead of its time in terms of story arc and mood, and War of the Lions' fully redone translation definitely adds heft to the game's maturity. And this isn't even adddressing the stunning, hand-drawn, voice-acted cutscenes, which don't come often enough but just leave jaws dropped on the floor every time they come up.

    I am loving it.

    Any other passwords I should know about? I actually whipped MGA2 back out again after reading the posts in this thread.

    Yeah, all this MGA2 talk has tickled my fancy too.

    I don't have a picture of the final version they ended up using in the game, just the image of the final card I submitted. Also they did exactly as I expected and added a kick ass mini video when you activate the card showing its legacy. When I used the card for the first time I swooned a bit and said, this is exactly how I imagined it in my head.

    And yet, it's also worth noting that the cutscenes come far more often than I had expected, which is awesome. There are definitely several every chapter. God, the game is just so damn fantastic. I had clocked 100+ hours into the PSX original and have already put over 50 into WotL. D:
