Star Ocean 4: DONE

Should I play Lost Odyssey or Mass Effect next?

Uh... Odyssey. I've never played either of them, so...

I really wish I could figure out my damn TV. I want to play Duck Hunt soooooo bad... ugh.

Both are great, so I'd say an even toss up.

LO has the fantasy element with deep storyline, character backstory, etc.

ME is more of a sci-fi shooter with massive customization, deep story, great voice acting and just a taste of alien sex thrown in for good measure.

Uh... Odyssey. I've never played either of them, so...

I really wish I could figure out my damn TV. I want to play Duck Hunt soooooo bad... ugh.
What's the problem?  I know the old NES zappers don't work well on most newer TVs.

Hmmm, Lost Odyssey seems more up my alley, since I've never been big on shooters. However, from what I hear Mass Effect sounds like a very unique RPG that would be a nice change of pace. I'm gonna beat all the post-game stuff in Star Ocean to get my money's worth and then decide which one to play. Right now I'm leaning towards Mass Effect since I'm in a sci-fi RPG mode right now. Alien sex just sweetens the deal.

I remember playing Mass Effect and loving it then just stopped playing it completely.

Yea, that was quite unexpected.  I'd assume they want to focus on the next Elder Scrolls.

We shall see how Obsidian handles it or rather how Beth lets Obsidian handle it...

Damn, Video Games are turning too weird for me...
I hope the same thing that happened to TV doesn't happen to video games...
Honestly, what's next??

Nah, Lego Final Fantasy is too easy of a cross over. Lego Resident Evil would just be hilarious, and Lego Devil May Cry could work. Lego Zelda or Lego Metroid, though, might spark geek riots.

Lego Mega Man would be teh shit. A lot of the oldschool 8-Bit sprites practically look like Legos already! Imagine a little yellow brick *pew pew* come out of his Buster! :lol:

New DLCs coming for Fallout 3 and Fable II next month, and all I really want is a DLC for Mass Effect...

*Sigh*   :?

Recently Hino, the head of publishing for Level-5, was recorded in a press conference saying they that they are working on translating the second Professor Layton title - which they hope to get out in the US within the next six months - and that it is their desire to have all six Professor Layton games released in the US. Truly, this is glorious news indeed, as Professor Layton and the Curious Village is one of the greatest games I have ever played; in fact, if you haven't already played it yet, I command you to rush out to a store immediately and rectify that fact! Anyways, the second title in this series will be released under the now announced title of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box! Now if we can just be assured that we will also eventually get the two upcoming Professor Layton animated films recently announced in Japan, both of which will be part of the official game universe cannon, then everything would truly be right with the world.

Yep it is quite convient that two new DLCs are coming out for games I already finished. Well if it adds a couple more hours to the game I don't mind I just hope it is worth the money.
