At the moment, I'm only playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live. If anyone else has the game and Live, please provide me with your Gamer Tag.

I'm currently playing Suikoden IV and Kessen III. KIII, is cool, but I miss the larger armies that you could have in KI. The new troop types and items are cool though, I like customizing my officers.

Suikoden IV is not as good as I thought it would, though I have yet to play the 3 prequels (Can't find em'). I like the naval and 1-on-1 duels, but the story and battles are pretty plane.

The next game I hope to play is Dynasty Warriors 4, I hear good things.

if you played Dynasty Warriors 3, then 4 is going to let you down.

Suikoden IV is -horrible- compared to the other Suikodens. Actually, I can't speak for I, but II and III are so much better.

THANK you.

III was at least a rip-off of Zelda landscaping, instead of Waterworld. Eww.

I think you mean 5

I've recently been getting back into my Romance VIII, played a great game where I took all the best generals and made my own band in Guan Ling. Eventually taking over China.

I think Suikoden IV was ok, but I did like III better. That's all I've played

To continue with the Star Wars kick I'm on, I played KoTOR II after Revenge of the Sith. Put in about 13-14 hours on Sunday, and about 22 hours total since late Saturday night when I started playing. I actually got into the story enough that I didn't sleep all Saturday night/Sunday morning because I was playing it. I'm a guy who loves my sleep, too, so that means a lot. I wish I didn't have to leave the game and XBox behind to come back to college for more summer classes (the box is my brother's, I don't have one).

I hated Suikoden III. Great Storyline, utter rubbish battle system. I long for the days of I and II. Suikoden I has the best SL imo and II has the best graphics/storyline/battle system mixture of them all. IV is my third favorite which isn't saying much. I stopped playing after the insane amount of random battles on the seas.

The KotOR games were both really good. I am a huge fan of them and hope that a third in the series is made. While KotOR II does have a flaw here and there, over all it is a really enjoyable game, especially if you like having choices, RPGs, and the starwars universe.

Mmm, for those of you who have been shielded from my rantings....that ends now!

The game I'm currently addicted to is called Victoria. Its a 1830s-1920 game, worldwide. Play whoever you like, the "uncivilized" nations of Japan or China, the British Empire, US (or CSA if you pick the civil war starting), or try to unify nations as Prussia or one of the Italian states (including the Papacy!)

Quite fun, currently my Imperial Japanese Army forces have cut china in two, with 2 Million Chinese troops trapped in the Gobi desert. Huzzah!

Victoria is a great game, especially once its been patched. I am a regular at the Paradox Entertainment forums and am quite a fan of their games. I'm not sure if you are aware or not, but they have patches, mods and updates for Victoria on the site. Haven't played the Nipponese as of yet, though I do have an ongoing game with the nation of Columbia in the Pacific Northwest. I've currently seen two wars between the states, am a firm ally of the CSA and seen the French in control of lower california. The game really lends itself to historical alterations and is in my opinion superior to civilizations. If your not a fan of that time period, I can also suggest Europa Universalis II by the same company that allows you to pick virtually any country between 1419-1820.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Installed KoTOR a couple days ago and have logged nearly two dozen hours. I'm also in the process of moving to a new apartment, so I can also testify on the game's enthralling nature. I'm afraid that I might have to pick up Jedi Acadamy after I've gone through KoTOR II...
