Games $30 and under

My big problem with 1 was the larger level designs. I could spend 2 hours in one battle, and make one mistake at some, and be forced to the same battle again, basically.

Really hate it when CLEARLY AIMED LANCER/ANTI-TANK SHOTS MISS THE FUCKING GIANT TANK FOR NO REASON AT THE END OF A 2 HOUR FIGHT.

Fair enough. There's also the fact that with the larger fields it's a lot easier for enemy lancers to get behind your tank and hit. Because there's never any question of if they can hit, as their lances are made of friendship magic. Most of the time this lead me to leave the tank parked with its radiator against a wall while my scouts did all the work.

My only major argument in favor of the bigger fields is that they're pretty. I guess that goes under "graphics".

Still, that guy who can OHKO any of your troops, has a hammer that inexplicably becomes a machine gun when he's standing around, can run across the ENTIRE field, can resurrect dead troops and dodges everything?

Fuck that guy.

Hmmmmmmm. Okay no ONE's gonna' suggest it?? *siiiiiiigh* I just bought Final Fantasy XIII for $20 new. I know a lot of people pan it here but I really can't see why, it's an excellent game and my favorite of the series so far. All the other good stuff has pretty much already been suggested.

Y'know seeing the parallels between fan reaction to Final Fantasy and the new Dragon Age I think I'll just wait and pick that up in about 10 months for $20 new as well....
