So here's a question: of the three RE games that I listed, which one would be considered "the best". I've played the original and RE 2; RE2 was amazing, but I also never had a chance to play Nemesis or the Director's Cut.

Grand Turismo 1 & 2 are the all time best.

Gt1 was harder to get all of my license's I spent a total of 14 hours, But I did earn them.

GT2 was easier it took me 3 hours to get my license's.

If anyone is wondering this is the simulation mode, The arcade mode was not as fun for me.:)

Final Fantasy Tatics (FFT) is one of the best games that I've played for the PS; Klonoa is amazing too, but I think that you have to like "platform" games to enjoy it. I didn't really like DB:final bout. Mr. Domino is a fun puzzle game, its kinda silly.

Sweet... might save my money for a few weeks and buy all the peripherals and a couple games at once.

Anyone know of a good place to buy peripherals and used games? I'm using half.com so far.

as for places to find these games and accessories, look around in used record stores in your area. Usually their stock is about 90% the same 5 crap games, and then 10% is different/cool. I've gotten some very good deals this way... but you've gotta know what you're looking for when you walk in the door. Also, most video game stores like Electonics Boutique will have a used games section, but they're usually sold at closer to market value than games at record stores run by hippies.

oh yeah, nobody likes this game but me, but I really like Street Fighter EX plus Alpha.

Tatics was so good it Kicked my ass. I think they need to do a squel.
it's the only RPG that I put in over 100 hours in. and IDidn't complete every quest, I didn't do the deep duegon quest.

Classic RPGs that come to my mind.
Beyond the Beyond
Lunar
Legend of the Dragoon... it was so so I was really disappointed I didn't like the limit system and the movement between towns Suxors I didn't like that there was no freedeom on the overworld.

and I Actully bought my PSX FOR FFVII

8 was ok, I finished it, just so I could say that I finished it.

I didn' tlike the magic system,

Final Fantasy Tactics I sometimes think was even better than 7. But I guess it's not a fair comparison since their so different. Tactics is one strategy situation after another with incredibly customizable characters that you have to design to work as a team.

Twisted Metal 2

Used to play that game every day at lunch against buddies (was homeschooled through middle school).

But Twisted Metal 2 is a tight game.

I'm quite sure I liked the original Silent Hill better than I like SH2 on the PS2. Basically because it just rehashed a similar storyline with better graphics... Very creepy games though, play it with loud sound in the dark. ;) I still get creeped out when I hear storm sirens.
