Ok, so I feel like buying a game. I like games that have decent replay value, and are fairly long. But most of all, fun is important.

Here is what I am considering:

GBA:
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga

I have heard both of these games are great, so talk me into (or out of) buying them. Also, any other games you think I'd like, feel free to suggest them.

Xbox:
NFL Street
OO7 Everything or Nothing

I heard Street was good, and I like football alot.

Gamecube:
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles

I wanted to try this, but it'd pretty much just be me playing it. If I were to play it with someone else, would 2 people be ok, or is it 3 or more is the minimum?

Feel free to recommend PC games as well, I am determined to find something to occupy my time for awhile

I liked Mario and Luigi.
Nick, you need to get something to play on Live, though. I never see you online. Maybe RTCW after the price drop?

Mario and Luigi is a must that game is damn fun. Final Fantasy Tactics is good as well, both are worth buying.

I dont know what you have for your GameCube but if you dont have it already get Metroid Prime.

Xbox- again I dont know what you already have but I do HIGHLY recommend Panzer Dragoon Orta.

I hardly play any Live games anymore, it seems. I got rid of Crimson Skies, R63, and Links 2004. I still have PGR2, and all the ESPN games, though.

Oh and RTCW might be fun, I liked the PC version. How is the download content?

None of those games you listed excite me very much, but if you like long games with replay value, xbox has a couple rpgs that are something different from the Final Fantasy thing... Knights of the Old Republic and Morrowind. There's alot of PC First Person Shooters you can get lots of mileage out of if you're into that type of game.

Already have Metroid Prime, great game. Never played Panzer Dragoon Orta.

Here are the games I have to make the recommendations easier

Gamecube- Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime, Zelda

Xbox- ESPN Football, Basketball, and Hockey, GTA Double Pack, PGR2, Midway Arcade Treasures, Hitman 2, Simpsons Hit and Run and Road Rage, True Crime, Shenmue II, NCAA Football 2004, Unreal Championship, and Splinter Cell.

GBA- Mario Advance 3, and 4, DK Country

KOTOR was awesome for the Xbox, I finished it, and then traded it. I have Morrowind GOTY for the PC.

EDIT: FPS are cool, too. Already played Halo, Half-Life, Call of Duty, and the MOH games. Anything else good?

In case you didn't already know, if you plan to play more than 1 player on Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, you'll need a GBA and GBA/GCN link cable for EACH player.

I recommend Viewtiful Joe for GC, it's definitely a fun game.

PC FPS - you should check out Enemy Territory (free) and Americas Army (also free) - both offer multiplayer goodness that give you hours and hours of entertainment for free. Hidden and Dangerous is also available for free... I didn't like it all that much, but it was free and got good reviews.

Check out:
Chaser - ambitious sci-fi FPS, awesome graphics and interesting twists... a little long in places, but certainly gives you bang for the buck.
Mafia - 3rd person shooting driving game - it's kinda like GTA with a prohibition era gangster theme... it's way better than GTA and was frankly ahead of its time.
Battlefield 1942 - this is bang for the buck here - there are tons of expansion packs and hours upon hours of online gaming entertainment to be had here.

There are a bunch of games on the horizon that are gonna be must haves.

Outlaw

I'll second Viewtiful Joe, it's one of the finest games to come out this gen. Once you get all the powers it really opens up the gameplay and is a ton of fun.

I'll also second that Mario and Luigi is damn fun, and one of the best RPG's to come out if you're in the mood for an RPG.

Final Fantasy: CC is another excellent game, but I'd only reccomend it if you can play 3 or more. 2 might be ok, but its a blast with 3-4 players, its been the most played game since we got it when it came out.

Mafia was awesome. Heard BF1942 was as well, so I might try that out.

Might try some of the others, too. Thanks

For GCN - Eternal Darkness. A sweet adventure game, and you can play thru on 3 different paths. Same storyline each time, but gameplay styles change. And best of all, you can find it

joltaddict

You need Advance Wars.

I picked up Everything or Nothing, and Superstar Saga. So far, I am really enjoying Superstar Saga, great game

I haven't played Everything or Nothing yet, but most reviews call it one of the best Bond games yet, so I am looking forward to playing it.

I just remembered I forgot to use a Gamers Gift Card on both games
