I'm a fucking nerd. I love all the shit on the NES, but the glory days were when SNES and Genesis were the big hits. I remember all the amazing side scrollers and RPGs. Big RPG fan... the Playstation had great hits and then the only emulation and translation scene got huge in early 2000. Even BETTER SNES and 16-bit console RPGs got translated and I blew my load over that shit.
Nowadays there aren't so many great games. Too many FPS games... I traded in my shitty XBOX 360 for a PS3 and haven't been disappointed. Best next gen game IMO is Batman Arkam Asylum... holy shit. This game is fucking mint. It's a little linear but there are a lot of side quests/tasks to keep you busy. Absolutely wicked game.
Playing Uncharted 2 right now and it's awesome as well, but not as polished as Batman AA. I hate running into invisible walls and fumbling around with the controls, but it's otherwise right up there. Waiting to bust my load over Final Fantasy 13. If I'm not juicing I'll probably shrink down 15lbs, lock myself in the house and play it every waking hour that I'm not eating or at work.
