Message: [QUOTE="PurpleShoes, post: 62218, member: 216169"] Wii: [B]WarioWare Smooth Moves[/B] - A fun, chaotic, and very creative party game. Pretty much a distillation of everything the Wii stands for IMO. [B]Donkey Kong Country Returns[/B] - Really tough as nails but rewarding platformer. It's silky smooth, too! I could never get into the SNES trilogy's physics, but this one just feels so right to me. Definitely nostalgia talking. Gamecube: [B]Killer7[/B] - This might just be my second favorite game of all time. It's beyond description, and unlike anything you've likely played. A highly surreal and dreamlike third person rail shooter(?) with prestige writing and top quality voice acting. Arthouse meets Resident Evil. At E3 2005, a Nintendo rep said "I think in the future, gaming will be viewed in two eras: before Killer7 and after Killer7". If only... [B]Eternal Darkness [/B]- Such a great survival horror. It's written by Dennis Dyack of Silicon Knights, who you may know for the first Legacy of Kain! Eternal Darkness is a rare cosmic horror for the genre, focusing its delicious atmosphere on a millenium-spanning ensemble cast of characters whose lineage flows thru the MC. The game is known for messing with the player in third wall breaking ways, but don't let the net spoil it for you! Go in as blind as possible! 3DS: [B]SMT IV:Apocalypse[/B] - a really great turn based JRPG. It may be a bit too anime for some, but the writing is really solid. It's a spinoff of Shin Megami Tensei IV, with a more punk rock vibe and a new cast of characters allowing the story to really go some wild places. I'm just gonna say it, it has my favorite final boss out of the series. [B]Starfox 64 3D [/B]- Gosh that title looks ridiculous typed out like that. I know it's kind of cheating since it's a remake, but I really love this game. Pretty much a perfect remake, and still one of my favorite uses of 3D on the system! Rail shooters forever!! DS: [B]Flower, Sun and Rain [/B]- Made by the same director as my aforementioned love Killer7. This is my personal favorite video game of all time. I could teach a college course on it. You play as Sumio Mondo, a private detective who has been contracted to find a bomb that's been hidden by a terrorist somewhere on a resort island. Somewhere along the way, Mondo gets stuck in a time loop. Over the course of this game, you will fail at your mission some twenty six times, solve long division, get yelled at by the islanders constantly, and walk everywhere extremely slowly. There's also a maneating pink crocodile named Christina. It's amazing. [B]Electroplankton [/B]- More akin to a children's toy than a video game, this one is just so cool. Is it a sound based pet sim with no win or lose state? A DAW with no save function? A cool thing to look at? Whatever it is, everyone is utterly transfixed whenever I take it out. A real system defining game for me, and I'm not sure I could even call it a game! [/QUOTE]
