I too never owned an original PlayStation and only just played the first Metal Gear Solid with my 60 Gb PS3. I have been recently buying tons of old PlayStation games that I missed out on by being a bit of a Nintendo fanboy back in the days of the N64.
I was actually blown away even today by MGS because it actually had spoken dialogue. I was so accustomed to not having anything like that back on the N64.
I just stumbled upon Brave Fencer Musashi a few days ago and decided to buy it. Never heard of it at the time I purchased it, but I have seen several people praise it since then. Might give it a try sometime this week.
Companies in the long run would get more money from me if they set the new price for games as 40 dollars. I never buy anything new at 60 dollars. I always wait until there is a sale at least in the 40 dollar range or less. Ironically, I spend the most money on the old rare games at used game stores.
I loved the Metroid II manual. If I remember correctly it had a complete list of enemies along with all the evolved forms of the metroids. I miss the days of the informative and interesting manuals.
I really wish I could get my hands on Nocturne since this is the next game.
lol....Nice to know that I have to watch out for those "monsters [that] have phallic-shaped heads and torsos".
That's ridiculous. Even if you have played 2 out of the 3 games, you ought to buy this. Heck, I bought even though I already have played them before for the new features and controls.

Any 120 Hz TV should be capable of creating 3d images; however, the Mitsubishi TVs have the native ability to use the Nvidia glasses. The only problem I can see with normal 120 Hz TV's is that they can not properly sync the refresh rate of the TV with the glasses. This is essential so that there is no bleeding of the left and right images into the other eye.
Hopefully, this issue will disappear due to some clever workarounds. If the output source (like...
Same here. They just slowly trickle out information at these things every year.
ughh Can't get any to work out of the 15 or so I tried. I always seem to go out of town at the wrong time.
If FFvXIII came in 2010, that would just make my year for gaming.

I guess I don't know Halo that much. Haven't read any of the books, but thanks for explanation. Here's a bubble for your time.
While I have a similar position that I don't want spend money on mmo's, I view those games differently. If I ever buy a mmo I will only play it for a few months, but that will be the only game I will play in that time. This allows me to fully enjoy the game without giving up other games and money in the process.

I see what your saying. If they are able to do these impressive physical feats, then you have to show how they destroy the ground when a half of a ton lands.
Just getting the feel and look right of how a spartan moves will easily amplify how awesome is to control something so powerful. Bungie haven't had the chance to try making different games in a while. I hope the make something great here.
Don't worry, their time is receding. In 30 years it will be hard for anyone to say that they haven't played a game sometime in their life.
Final Fantasy games will essentially last forever in the gaming world. The only way they would die is if Square Enix goes under and the rights aren't in someone else's hands or RPGs go out of style. Neither of those are likely to happen.
Square Enix knows that Final Fantasy is one of their biggest series, and they will make sure that they don't screw it up. Also the name Final Fantasy is just simply that, a name. Take any good RPG they make and slap that name, a chocobo, and ...
Same here. I originally have been one of those that say "meh" to the original storyline in the first 3 Halos, but after seeing the trailer to Halo Reach I am very excited. I have no doubt that Bungie will make a great multiplayer and gameplay, but this time I hope they nail the storyline.
EDIT
Wow, n4g really messed up there. I had to fight it for a couple minutes as it would not let me reply nor post. That's never happened before.
EDIT Reply to 2,

Thank you. I am glad someone said it. The wide range of games is why I am more attracted to the Sony brand. I love all three of my console and have tons of games for each, but I find it hard to keep up with the number games Sony puts out. They seem to know my tastes.
I love the Ratchet and Clank series, but I have bought other games this fall and will wait a few months before I pick up a Crack in Time. Insomniac will get my money eventually, I just ne...
Wow, I seem to be one of the few that actually uses the backwards compatibility often. I have played through several ps2 games on my 60 Gb ps3. It is nice to not have to lug several systems to my dorm.
If I were to buy another ps3 I would hope they add backwards comparability in the future, because I still have a huge back catalog of ps2 games I still want to play. Also, I have run out of room on all of my memory cards for the ps2.
I'm glad I picked up Raze's Hell at the used games store. I wasn't expecting much, but it surprised me. I have urge you to try SotC again even if you have to pull out an old SD TV because it is amazing.
