I dont know.  Two is pretty darn good.  In fact there are some things i miss from two.  I like them both equally.

Here you go:








I actually have the first one, I borrowed a Playstation years ago and I haven't given it back yet, haha, I rarely play on it, but I have the FF Anthology.  I love FFVI for SNES, one of my all time favourites.

I would get Xenogears, but it's actually my Playstation and I also find little time to actually play the Playstation, I have so many uncompleted games in my bedroom.

FFVII
FF9
FF Beginnings (or whatever it's called)
FF Anthology (I have a feeling a friend may have borrowed this)
Streetfighter 2
And erm some other games that I forget what the titles are.

My favorite games are the GTA series.

Right now I've been into racing games and strategy games. This one PC game, Rise of Nations has really had me hooked lately.

I have an idea for a swell video game:

The Requiem for a Dream Role-Playing Game

Insead of leveling your character up over time, your character's attributes slowly degrade as they spiral down from their once-novel aspirations of living the good life into a depressed and increasingly detached cycle of narcotics abuse and self-degrading sexual antics!

Rated:

 

(Collectors Edition contains bonus heroin arm!)

You better get cracking (see what I did there?) or some big Games company will steal the idea!

People complain about III, I think it's awesome.

Everyone MUST play Half-Life 2... your life will be a waste if you don't.

I would also reccomend Shadow of the Colossus and Ico if you can enjoy slow-paced artsy games.  I know I tried to show a few of my friends and they were just bored with them.

The two games in development that really impress me are Spore and Crysis... check out the videos:

As far as RPG's go, IMO, Valkyrie Profile and the Final Fantasy games suck.
Xenogears and Chrono Trigger are where its at.

I've never played Valkyrie Profile and I'm not that keen on FFVII, but FFVI is great!  All of the FFs I've played have been wonderful.  FFVII is overrated though.

Not played Xenogears yet either, but Chrono Trigger for the SNES is an amazing game.

Try out:

Lufia I & II
Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana)
Seiken Densetsu 3

As well as Soul Blazer and the others in that series.

I love RPG's but imo nothing beats the GTA series,especially San Andreas.I got it the day it came out and I still play it regularly.

How do you like it Mike?

Me and my son had a blast playing that game.

I just beat it on God Mode recently.

My gaming experience evolved from Sinclair via Atari (I upgraded it to one meg all on my own) and the Playstations 1 and 2 - I enjoy Tiger Woods (2005 is way better than 2006) and the Gran Turismo series - Need for Speed is good too and Final Fantasy VII was the best for me in that series - I'm currently into PC gaming and cant see past F.E.A.R. for online although Call of Duty 2 seems good as well - ROME:Total War is a nice strategy game too.

My F.E.A.R. nickname is Horza - maybe I can kick your ass on it sometime (although at 45 my reflexes not as good as some of these kids who spend waaaaaaaay too much time online)

 I love on Rise of Nations playing the Cold War scenario...since I think its fun beating Ronald Reagan.

I can't pick a favorite. I like the enviornment and feeling of GTAIII best, but VC was the most fun for me, and San Andreas is very different from the rest. They are all great.
