Right now, I'm working on Dirge of Cerberus & Fullmetal Alchemist 2 on my PS2. I want to have Dirge finished before I get Crisis Core, which I happily reserved.

I've added Phantom Hourglass and Starcraft to my rotations with Tales of the Abyss, which I am in the later legs of.
Phantom Hourglass is neat. =[

Just added Shining Wisdom to the list, now that I finally found, and bought, a Sega Saturn.

I loved Shining Wisdom! It's a pretty bad game overall, but still enjoyable! One major flaw though: I hate that you have to repeatedly push the button in order to walk a little faster. If you don't repeatedly push that button, you'll practically crawl. Man that gets tedious after a while. Whoever came up with that great idea?

YAY!!! I'm not the only fan after all.
Yeah, the button tapping to dash is annoying (however, if you hold the button down after your at the fastest speed, you don't have to worry too much).
Now I just gotta hunt down Shining the Holy Ark, Shining Force III, & last, but certainly not least, NiGHTS!

What? You can hold it down afterwards? Boy is my face red. Shining the Holy Ark is phucking awesome. I love that game. The soundtrack is one of the best I've heard as well. PS: Get Magic Knight Rayearth - it's the best Saturn game in my opinion. A bit on the expensive side though (but it's worth it!).

Now I just gotta hunt down Shining the Holy Ark, Shining Force III, & last, but certainly not least, NiGHTS! Great choices, loved all three of those. Good timing now the translation project for SF3 scenario 2 is actually going somewhere. It's not the same just playing the first game on its own with the cop-out ending that was thrown in there. Definitely play Holy Ark before SF3 though, there's a couple of connections in there. Oh to have a Camelot developed SF4 ;_; Meanwhile I'm just playing Sora no Kiseki FC, something like 1/4 to 1/3 of the way through now I think. Definitely liking it so far although from what little I've played, although expecting great things to come considering how highly praised it and SC seem to be by people around here

Final Fantasy IV DS. I really hope they localize that one. It's nice in Japanese, but I'd like to play it (again?) in English. And I'm praying that if they dub the voices, they get GOOD ones. That's not as far a stretch nowadays as it used to be, at least...

Crysis. Easily one of best games I have ever played in my life. Just incredible. In every single aspect. I love it. Man I wish I had a better computer. It would be just AWESOME to play this game on top settings. Although, I hear NO computer hardware available CAN play it on top settings, and still run completely smooth. That's impressive.
I also tried playing some Beyond Good & Evil (for PC) today. It seems like a cozy game, it feels a lot like Rayman 2....which is just awesome. I think I will enjoy this one.

I like the characters, although I don't really care for Jade herself (although I like her a lot more now than I did before). I like the voices in the game, but it DOES bother me a bit that they do use accents and stuff... I mean, it's another planet - why is there a spanish guy in there? Anyway, I have played it more now and I am really liking it! The atmosphere is fantastic, and I really like taking pictures of different creatures. Odd though, this is one of the most poorly optimized PC games I've played. As soon as I enabled anti aliasing, the game got quite choppy - but I can use anti aliasing in MUCH more graphically advanced (and not to mention newer) games without any problems. Very strange. I'm not going to upgrade my computer for a five year old game, even though I am tempted to.

Tales of Phantasia: Full Voice Edition for the PSP! :D The graphics are so pretty. *__* And whee! I get to hear Klarth speak more! XD!! And Cless too! XD!!! I hope Origin still has the same VA from the PS version~~~ *swoons*
Speaking of VAs, I wish they kept the same voice actor for Dhaos from the PlayStation one. :/ Yeah, he sort of sounded wimpy in that but at least he didn't sound like a *generic* villain. >_>
Also tried a bit of Pump It Up Exceed Portable but it didn't hold my attention for even 5 minutes. :P

I tried Tales of Phantasia once (for SFC, of course). Nice grafficks. Boring game.

Tales of Phantasia isn't bad. I never finished it, however. The SFC version was nice, but I wish we'd gotten to see the PS version, personally. The PSP version is tempting for that reason. I choose to completely ignore the existence of the most horrifically "translated" GBA one we got in the West. BLEH!

I've been "saving" TOP (for SFC, of course) for a long time. But I got disappointed when I just tried it for a bit (battle system = ). BUT I will still give it another, much bigger chance later. I'm running out of SNES RPGs to play.

The ToP battle system is admittedly a bit clunky when you compare it to the later games in the series. It took me some doing to get used to it, but it's not TOO bad. Thank god they started making the AI for the rest of your party a bit smarter later on in the franchise, though. Currently: Still on Final Fantasy IV DS. Just got Edge, whee! I was in the middle of FFVI Advance, but um.. yeah, pretty much every other game is on hold for the sake of IV right now. ^^;

I got to boss 2 in Soldner-X. Level 2 is huge, and I didn't have enough power or health to beat him. One thing about Soldner-X, it is an extremely challenging game.

Really? I think it is pretty easy. I got to the 2nd boss on my first try. Although I DID play it with a friend, who sucked at it.
