Got Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for $10.

That is an awesome deal.

Hope you dig it. I like those beat-em-up RPG types. Let me know who you have on your team!!

My team was always led by Iron Man.

Anyone else playing the latest gemcraft?

**Sycophant** · 05-29-2009, 04:25 AM

Gorgeous-looking Namco Wii RPG Fragile coming to US courtesy XSEED.

I'd pretty much given up hope.

**Skitch** · 05-29-2009, 12:54 PM

Finished Ninja Gaiden 2, trying to finish Army of Two, but its awfully repetitive.

Bah! Captain America FTW! Bouncy ricochet shield attack rules all!

The friends I'm staying with purchased INfamous today. Looking forward to checking it out.

**Sycophant** · 05-29-2009, 07:02 PM

I expect this is a leak and may be taken down any minute, but No More Heroes 2 TRAILER! (NSFW)

Oh hell yes. Kinda sucks that they're torturing me with a trailer when the game's still 8 months away, but what the hell. I believe Masafumi Takada is doing the whole soundtrack for this one again, which is awesome.

Here's a fun old-style web-based interactive adventure game that's pretty funny:

I used to play this at my last gig, as an alternative to working. My favorite part is when you run into a ninja. If you aren't careful, he will defeat you by ninjaing you in the butt. Classic!

**Sycophant** · 05-29-2009, 08:44 PM

Hey, that game was totally at the top of Thirdmango's top games list!

Maybe one of these days I'll try it out.

This is great news for (mature) Wii owners!!

Definitely plan to pick this one up.

I started playing Star Ocean and I love it...finally a decent rpg on a third gen system.

Valkyria Chronicles, Blue Dragon, and Lost Odyssey are all fantastic games.

**D_Davis** · 05-29-2009, 10:29 PM

And Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Sacred 2.

Uhhhh ... Fallout 3 ...

**EyesWideOpen** · 05-29-2009, 10:36 PM

I was assuming he meant jrpg's but yeah I'd add Fallout 3 and Fable II then also.

**origami_mustache** · 05-29-2009, 10:58 PM

I wasn't even aware of most of those mentioned aside from Fable II and Fallout 3. I started playing Star Ocean on the Xbox at work since my PS3 is out of commission. I plan on playing Fallout 3, but wasn't under the impression that it's an rpg game. Blue Dragon and Sacred 2 don't look that great, but Oblivion and Valkyria Chronicles look worth a shot. I don't have much time for gaming, but still enjoy it when I can, so I'm extra picky about choosing games, so basically I just want more games from Square.

**D_Davis** · 05-29-2009, 11:16 PM

Sacred 2 is incredible. Best ARPG since Diablo 2. If like this style of game (kill all the monsters, collect lots of loot, build up your character, ala Diablo, Champions, Dark Alliance, Marvel UA) you'll love this game.

I wouldn't call Valkyria Chronicles an rpg.

No it isn't. It's a turn based strategy game. Have you played it?

Yes I have, actually, it's the game that's currently on display at Rogers Video in Stittsville right now.

It has strategy elements, but it's definitely an RPG.

It's classified as such in every magazine and website I've seen.

Yeah but if you had the exact same game but American and without the anime stylings, it would be classified as a strategy game. It's strange.

Anyway this is something that's worth having an argument about.

**EyesWideOpen** · 05-30-2009, 01:03 AM

It's actually considered a SRPG.

**Spun Lepton** · 05-30-2009, 01:55 AM

The Matrix Online is officially closing its servers on July 31st. I can only imagine how frustrated all four players feel about this.
