Awesome. As someone who was with the Zelda series from its infancy, I gotta say I LOVE that Hyrule Historia! I got mine as a V-Day gift.
I recently got the 400-page hardbound Ni no Kuni strategy guide. It was a free gift from Namco to make up for them screwing up by selling our Wizard's Edition pre-orders to those scalpers in Canada.
Awesome story, Tami. I used to love arcade games when I was young, and I had a PC at a young age, although I was more into Ultima than Wizardry.
Although SoM was good, I much preferred its Japan-only sequel, Seiken Densetsu 3, which improved on SoM in every way.
Vesperia is a fantastic game. It's my favorite 360 exclusive.
Along with all of the other recommendations (my personal favorite being Valkyria Chronicles) I'd also like to recommend Ni no Kuni if you ever get into the PS3.
Oh, Lord, Wallbridge. I spent a LONG time running back and forth through that area. It sucked. The rest of the game is incredibly awesome, though.
I'll second that.
I thought FFX-2 was a nice callback to the old FF job system myself, and I liked FFXIII-2. What I would like, though, is for Square to build a monster epic experience as they did with FFXII.
You call that a pile of shame?! That's a little stack of shame compared to what I've got going on! LOL!
Personally, though, I'm trying to stick with what I've got rather than buy more games.
Star Fox 64 was pretty awesome, I think it was actually second to FFVII as my favorite game of 1997
