I assume yhis is what your referring to I think most EP members are on a P.C. sorry I can't be more help but now that I've quoted maybe someone else will see it and have an answer.

There really isn't jrpg that's similar to Tales on either the GC or the Wii besides the sequel. If you like the hack and slash type gameplay with some RPG elements, I would try Muramasa, but the story's pretty lacking. I think the artwork is gorgeous though.

If he gave us a wider range of consoles to choose from there'd be much more we can do.

There's Tales of Graces on Wii if you know Japanese or don't care about playing in Japanese. A really solid Tales game. One of the best, battle system-wise. It's actually getting localized, but only for PS3.

I would try the Ar Tonelico series or the Shadow Hearts series; they both have social sim aspects and Shadow hearts has a weird sense of humor similar to Persona.

Ah, well ill try shadow hearts then since Ive already played all 3 Ar T's, aswell as pretty much any game NIS releases for northamerica

I believe Batman: Arkham City to be the best game released thus far for this generation's consoles. I'm sure you're all aware of the game and heard the praise. I'm simply reiterating it. Really. It's fantastic.

My brother and I have been really into apple II text adventures like Zork and Lurking Horror, but we need more! We'd love some suggestions, mainly for apple II, but any platform would be great. Thanks!

I've been a PSP gamer since it first launched in Aus in 2005, but I never really managed to find any decent games for it, till I flashed it

That being said, I've downloaded a bunch of games for it and beat em all really quickly sadly :L
So I'm looking for suggestions as to what games I should download

My current collection includes:
BlazBlue Continuum Shift 2
Midnight Club L.A. Remix
White Knight Chronicles Origins
Hatsune Miku Project Diva 2nd
Parasite Eve The 3rd Birthday
Dissidia 012
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Lord Of Arcana
Armored Core Silent Line Portable
.hack//Link
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Final Mix
God Eater Burst
Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity

I don't mind genre or language barriers so long as the game is easy to learn basic controls etc.

you might enjoy the two Star Ocean games they released in the US or Tales of Eternia (EU). If you want a fighter, I'd suggest Guilty Gear or Darkstalkers. Lastly, I recommend getting the genesis collection, as it's a great compilation.

Have fun!

Ello. I'm in a bit of a predicament. You see, lately, I've been drawn to games that portray amazing, hand-drawn sense of style. Games like Legend of Mana and Odin Sphere come to mind. Does anyone have a good list or suggestions games based on this visual style? Truth be told, I'm looking into these games more for my own personal drawing reference then gameplay. Then again, I have been craving something new to play, lol.

Second, does anyone know of a good online MMO community to join. Sadly, I'm on an Acer Aspire One netbook, so my options are rather limited. Still, if I could find something, anything, I would greatly appreciate it.

I look forward to hearing your guys suggestions. Till then.

For hand drawn art styles, I'd say Magna Carta (one is for PS2, the second one is for X360), Muramasa (Wii), and Valkyrie Profile.

I can't say anything about MMOs though, sorry.

Have fun!

well maybe some of the grid based strategy games (similar to tears to tiara and fire emblem) that are on pc are also on mac?

For both of those, try Rusty Hearts. It's actually a 3d polygon brawler game done in anime style. The characters really look like anime more than a game, but I can't say the backgrounds and world made an impression that I remember. Similar, but 2d and sprite based, is Dungeon Fighter Online. Both of these are free to play pc mmo games.

Other MMOs that would run on a laptop, I am guessing since I don't know your system specs:
Conquer(3/4 overhead based on chinese mythos)
Perfect World (the titular game of the company Perfect World, Int.)
Spiral Knights
Shaiya

Might be worth your time to check out Steam. You can browse their store to find games, and the system requirements are almost always listed on the store page so that you can avoid paying for a game that you can't run. It includes a Free to Play genre that includes several MMOs and also a Massively Multiplayer genre as well, in case you have some money to throw around. Also, Earth and Beyond has a pretty mature community, much better than when it was an EA game. The Community owns the game now and they've added an extra class for each race!
