I Want
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)

The streamlined, focused structure eliminates potential tedium without dumbing anything down, and the battle system strikes an elegant balance between strategy and fast-paced action. Stunningly beautiful graphics and a pervasively ...

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)

One of the best DS RPGs all year has Mario, Luigi and Bowser working together to save the Princess as the Bros manipulate the Koopa King from the inside.

I'm playing
Final Fantasy IV (DS) (DS)
Many wise gamers consider IV to be the greatest Final Fantasy ever made. This new edition provides a dungeon map, "decanting" ability, and a flawed auto-battle system. More useful additions ...
I've Beaten
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS)
This Wind Waker sequel spells success on the high seas with a DS stylus. Goodbye end-of-the-world plot device and hello good times in (sorta) tough dungeons.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Virtual Console (Wii)
This was a near perfect game in 1998, worthy of the highest praise. But today, after the advancements of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, Ocarina feels like a stepping stone.
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time (DS)

This time the super brothers team up with their younger selves to save the Mushroom Kingdom in this classic RPG.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP)
The best fan fiction you will ever play on PSP. Can we have our PS3 remake now?
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
It's the same Zelda we've been playing since 1998, tweaked and balanced to perfection.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Four-player fighting returns with new characters like Wario, Pit from Kid Icarus - and yes, Solid Snake.
Collecting Dust
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII (PS2)
It's an action game made for Final Fantasy fanatics - too bad the clunky camera and bare-bones gunplay won't entice anyone else.
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Mario's first appearance on Wii launches him into outer space, where you tilt, bob and shake him across spinning globes in Mario 64 fashion.
Need for Speed Carbon (PS2)
When a sequel's not a sequel, the streets have no name, and the sun never shines - thank goodness the racing still kicks ass.
Super Paper Mario (Wii)
The paper-thin Mario universe gets some more mileage in this mixture of 2D and 3D gameplay - plus RPG elements.
Chrono Trigger (DS)

Still as revolutionary as when it first came out, this remake proves to be timeless.
