Alright, this is where you recommend games for other people to play.

I'll start by recommending a few of my favourite classics.

If you like strategy games, I recommend the Disciples series. Disciples: Sacred Lands was just awesome, and the sequel was just as good. Apparently it will soon be released on DS. It's a really great turn-based game, which is rare. You need to be able to think well, though. At times it can be very challenging.
Also for strategy, I recommend the real-time strategy games The Battle For Middle Earth I & II, which are great if you're a fan of army command games and of the Lord of the Rings series. You need to be able to think fast, but unlike most games you need to be able to think using military strategy. You need to understand how important factors like terrain and army type and management are and use these to your advantage, while at the same time be able to react fast to a problem and turn it around.

If you like action/adventure RPGs, the latest titles in the Elder Scrolls series are superb - the newest one, Oblivion, is even moddable, allowing you to create your own version completely. Darth made a Let's Play topic for the third installment in the series, Morrowind. Go have a look if you're interested in this kind of game.

If you haven't yet played Okami, you should seriously consider it. The artwork, story and gameplay make for a really excellent game, although it is at times very challenging.

Recommend your favourite games here. Hooray.

Hang on, can someone please move this to the Video Games section? I put it in entertainment by accident. Sorry.

LOLOLOL, PL@Y HARVEST M00N! Jokes. Yes play the games but still, there is a lot more to offer than just those fun farm-like games.

PS2 : I recommend Kingdom Hearts, when I was younger, I thought this game looked really kiddy with the whole Disney theme, but after looking at some gameplay videos, I really got interested. At first, fighting may seem kind of dull and simple, since you can only do a 3-4 hit combo. But after you level up and gain more abilites, hunting for items is just hella fun. In KH1 when getting the materials for the Twilight Key blade, I loved just entering a map and bashing my way through monsters using massive combos. Also the story is really good in my opinion.

DS : I highly recommend you look into getting The World Ends With You, out of all the games I've played from going back from Super Nintendo, to GB, to PS2, to Wii, this game beat them all. The gameplay for this game is very unique in where you control two characters, at first this may look kind of hard or a hassle, but you can really just concentrate on one screen and button mash for the other. The soundtrack for this game is AMAZING, and I absolutely love the characters. This game also has a story that makes you ask so many questions, and everything adds-up in the end. I spent almost hours talking about some parts of the story with friends ; "How come this happened?", "But why would he do that?" We spent a lot of time discussing and figuring out more about the story, and in the end it is very satifying.

Wii : Harvest Moon : Tree of Tranquility! Yes of course but, I recommend Mario Kart Wii. This game last me a few months, it is really fun, not much else I can say. Unique courses, with awesome drift and jump speed boosts, doing Wheelies with your bike. This game has a lot of small details and a lot of overal details. There is I think around 30 characters to choose to race with and you can also race using your Mii! And then Wi-fi is awesome, I play Regional all the time I get top 4th in most of the races, from time I get bad luck and end up maybe 7th or 8th.

And btw, I'm new. I hope I get myself to adapting to the forum and coming here daily. Hello Everyone!
