Recommended Games & Favorite Genre, Lets share! Options

[Rui L'cie]

I'm sure everyone here has played lots of different games, from awesome games to horrible ones that you dont even want to remember again.

So, what games do you recommend people to play? or is there any must play games? Tell me about your favorite games genre too!
* lets exclude Final Fantasy, because I'm sure everyone play this already..and Its way to well known to the world.
and also Harvest Moon from the list of recommended games.

For me, I love RPG and Tactics, most of the game I played came from those two genres.
And here are some games that I recommend people to play.

-Star Ocean series
-Atelier Mana series
-Gensou Suikoden series
-.hack series
-Fire emblem
-Disgaea
-Galerians (I think this game is extinct, because the first series if PS1, that was released more than 5 years ago, and I had difficulties to find the sequel for PS2)

Not gonna list obvious stuff (like Zelda or anything that's already been said), but some favorites of mine are

Kid Icarus - all two of them, this and Zelda were the first games I couldn't put down
Jumping Flash - old old Playstaion, I think Sony themselves made this
F-ZERO - not for the faint of heart, the "don't blink and drive" slogan is accurate
EarthBound - I think I've probably said enough about this series already
Castlevania - challenging 2D platformer stuff, can't get enough of it
Vagrant Story - 3D RPG comparable to Metroid and Castlevania, with an amazing plot and a real challenge. Also, no experience points
Punch-Out!! - humor and difficult boxing fights belong together
Chrono Trigger/Cross - fairly Final Fantasy-like, but it's generally sillier and there's no need to grind for more experience points
Secret of Mana - pretty amazing considering how few games are co-op multiplayer, and this actually has a good deal of length to it
