gutiar hero for the 360 should of been wireless

I thought it was, or am I mistaken?

Unfortunately, it's wired. However, the cord is pretty long and doesn't seem to get in the way at all.

[Tondog]

Oh. Sucks that it's wired. Well, I suppose they gotta try and sell you the accessories for the game somehow.

I finally got the first Phoenix Wright game yesterday, and I just started playing it. I'm glad I stopped playing the second one because the 2nd one has spoiled a few things already from the first one.

Oh geez, please tell me you weren't playing case 4 in JFA. Also... here's my tiering. Actually, you know, pretty much getting to case 2 in JFA ruins case 4 of the original.

Plenty of Rogue Galaxy and nothing else. 

[Shimra]

Is Rouge Galaxy a lot like Dark Cloud 2? I kinda want to get it but I didn't like how Dark Cloud 2's dungeons got so long and boring.

Guitar Hero 2 for 360.

I keep meaning to reinstall Rome: Total War, but I can't find all the CDs required.

Lame.

EDIT: Just looked on my shelf and found them all, installing now.

I've never played the Dark Cloud series and am very picky about PS2 RPG's. But one thing about RG I like is that you can transport in and out of the dungeons using any of the save points and go do something else if you really need a break. Since this is a planet-hopping game and not a dungeon-crawling one for the most part there's plenty of variety, especially if you enjoy power-leveling. The side quests and mini games within could become games themselves.

The best way I could describe this is a cross between KOTOR and DQVIII.

More Guitar Hero 2.

Hehe. I have DQVIII but promised I wouldn't beat it til I beat FFXII. Anyway, the reason I asked if it is like DC2 is because they are made by the same company. Also, it does sound quite a bit like DC2, but with less dungeon crawling. In DC2 you could pretty much stop the main quest, run around the towns, rebuild the towns, take pictures, make inventions, go fishing, race fishes, almost as much freedom as Grand Theft Auto. Sounds like Rouge Galaxy is a bit like that in the freedom sense right?

[Tan]

Yes they sound very similar. Does DC2 have full voicework and cinematics? If it does I'll have to add it to my list 

[James]

Microsoft Bridge Simulator 2004... or something. Bridge Building Game. It's addictive.

[Tondog]

SUPER...PAPER...MARIO! Absofuckinlutely incredible! If you have a Wii, I highly recommend picking it up.

Yes it does:) It's cell shaded, the art style much like Dragon Quest VIII. The voice actor for one of the two main characters (Max) is the same as Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia if you've played that. The story is interesting, though I'm probably only about 1/3 of the way through it.

The game has the typical travel back and forth through time concept, however it is done in a manner wihch rivals Chrono Trigger. Pretty mcuh this dude travels through time and destroyed the future and you have to alter things in the present to save the future. You'll run through the dungeons in the present and collect items to rebuild the towns and cities, then you'll get out of the dungeons, and rebuild the towns and cities; how you build it directly affects how the future is. Then of course there is all the side stuff that I spent more time doing lol. Oh yeah, and then there is also spheda which is golf, and you can do it on any dungeon floor once you clear the floor of enemies.

The game really is awesome, it's just the dungeons are composed of floors and are randomly generated and it takes a looooooong time to complete a floor let alone a dungeon. Great game though. In fact, I think I just convinced myself to go play it haha.
