I'm discovering my new found love for NHL hockey. It was hard to pass up for $13.99
Fresh. Different. Short (My run time: 12 hours).AniHawk said:
The battle system was enough to keep me playing and most of the dungeons were a lot of fun to dig through. They really did a bang-up job of translating Panzer Dragoon gameplay into an RPG. Not only that, but the story kept me guessing - not in a "OMG WHAT'S GOING ON" sense but rather "Well, where are they gonna take this?"
The ending certainly wasn't what I wasn't entirely what I expected either, which was a surprise. Playing through also helps you grasp the implications of the events in Orta, giving even more value to an already awesome game
Oh, and the music kicked ass.

Worth the price of admission?
I'm sure a lot of folk can't fathom paying that much for a such a short game, but I don't really mind - I've paid full price for numerous titles that I enjoyed far, far less. This wasn't a blind buy either, I made sure that the game was well worth my $110 long before I decided to purchase it.AniHawk said:

My cousin is getting married this weekend, so I'll be busy with that, but if I get time:
Tenchu Kurenai
KOF Maximum Impact
SF3: Third Strike
World Of Warcraft
And possibly Dynasty Warriors 4 Empires if I decide to purchase it. Need to get rid of Tales Of Symphonia anyway; it's not for me.

Yeah, I love Panzer Saga, easily one of my favorite games of all time, and the only reason why I have not been able to sell my Saturn.
Mind you, I really don't enjoy RPGs.... I like them in concept, but I eventually grow tired of them, and am also not all that great at them as well. Hence why I enjoyed the short length of the game.
Also, I find 99.99% of all battle systems totally boring, but it's totally not in Saga. I actuallly welcomed random encounters, and the boss battles had the right mix of straregy and twitch action. It's so good I'm shocked that others don't rip off the engine, and if they did, I'd actually play it.
The graphics are really good for the Saturn and I still treasure my copy of the soundtrack.
BTW, this weekend I'm gonna crack open Mario Sunshine again, and play some Rez.

I picked up 2 very cheap games the other day and so far I've been very surprised by both,theyre actually quite fun games.
I'm going to stick with them over the weekend. Those being Malice and BattleStar Galactica.

Street Fighter III: Third Strike - Trying to get used to the minute differences between it and the Dreamcast version. A nice mix of the Shotoscrubs, Q, Makoto, Alex and Dudley.
Nightshade - Picked it up cheap, I still have no ninja skills. Managed to bumble my way to the 11th stage, however. I REALLY want to try playing as Joe, so I will keep playing.
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne - I no longer totally suck ass at the Undead, Humans give me a bit of trouble, however.
Advance Wars 2 - After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back in the War Room, I have 2 more maps to unlock. Risky Vale is HARD.
Pikmin 2 - Just got it cheap at Future Shop (CAD$50), going to dive into it when I have the time.
Front Mission 4 - Currently on my backlog, but a friend is playing it and it looks sweet.

Taking my lady fair to the zoo will occupy most of my saturday. Tonight will probably involve Sky Odyssey and Ico with friends.
Any time I have to myself will be spent trying to finish Astro Boy, Disaster Report, and Front Mission 4- unless Sqaure has sent me my copy of Star Ocean 3.

Military Madness (TG-16) - level 22 (Arbine)
Fire Emblem - chapter 21 on hard mode
Axis & Allies (PC) - it's a real POS, network games almost always die 3 or 4 times so we have to save after every turn
Quake 3
Tennis (at 6:00)
And I just ordered Kohan: Ahriman's Gift off Amazon (fuckin' MAF...).

Headed for Vegas in a couple of hours. I'll probably play some LoZ: Oracle of Seasons on the drive down. Packed my PS2 and SFAC for some late night drunken gaming after we've lost all of our money gambling.
