You know I'm never far away. ;) Well, not strictly true, but I believe it's a positive sentiment. Seriously though, email me or somesuch. Whatever happened to your crazy emails I enjoy so much?

My game box says "Indigo Prophecy" on it, I checked before typing the article. So there!

As for Chrono Trigger, it was up against the brutally heavy competition of Metal Slug 7, and Metal Slug 7 won. I've since finished Metal Slug 7, and will buy Chrono Trigger at some point in the future - after I get Peggle DS (which is obviously the better choice).

Whilst we're discussing the greatest games of all time, allow me to sneakily re-recommend that YOU play and complete both Deus Ex and Planescape: Torment.

Nice to see you around, btw.

We call it Fahrenheit in this country, kthx. And I'm glad to see that my recommendation of Chrono Trigger as the greatest game of all time was not sufficient to convince you to buy it for DS first up. You must of course rectify this.

Ghost: Yep, I remember you mentioning it, and it is on the list. The only problem is that the list is pretty long, so it might be a while before I get there ;)

TheJBurger: Yeah, I really would like to get my hands on some more Zelda games! I've always dreamed of getting a SNES, and if/when I do I'll most definitely be putting Zelda 3 right up the top of the list of games that I simple MUST have for it! Thanks for the suggestion :)

Clarvalon: I would have summed it up with "shooty hovercraft", but yours works well too ;).

It's possible to sum up Beyond Good & Evil in two words: Green Lipstick.

Sold!

I think you owe it to yourself to play more than two Zelda games now. :)
To this day, my favorite remains "A Link to the Past" (Zelda 3) on the Super Nintendo. Definitely try it out if you have the incentive. I would say that it pretty much set the design standard (that, along with Ocarina of Time, but OoT borrowed so much from this game) for all future Zelda titles to come, which is probably upwards of seven? So, yeah, try it out, it's great! :)

Sounds like a juicy list! Though I can't say much about the console titles (me not owning one) I am really happy you gave Beyond Good And Evil a glance. That game's a gem, and no mistake!

Wish you much fun with the second half of the year. If you can find it, have a go at Arx Fatalis! Somehow I think you'll like it.
