Been playing these games, some might be a few months old, (some people find even just two months long enough to declare a game 'old') but they kick serious buttox. ^^

Dynasty Warriors 5: It's a really awesome action game, you basically fight in old China, fighting against armies of near-endless (if you can do it right, you can kill thousands upon thousands of soldiers, I was heaven) soldiers. There's lots of different maps, a lot of differing missions... you have over fifty heroes to choose from, nearly all of them unique (the leaders of each big familly all just have a regular sword), not to mention a bunch of different weapons, costumes, saddles -- you can start with a horse or elephant when you have one of those, -- orbs that give elemental power, and a bodyguard. The bad news about it is that you can't ceate your own officer anymore, which sucks, and you only have one bodyguard, but if you get a good bodyguard, he or she can dish out hell to your enemies. ^^

Onimusha 3: I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first one, I haven't played the second one though. You get a brief time playing with the weapons from the first game, but i think the weapons and powers of this one are more fun. You actually get passive abilities like having all the souls become red ones to boost your weapons and armor, or standing still can slowly heal you (trust me, this is a life saver in this game!). The good thing about this one is Jean Reno (my fav french actor), his whip-throw can even toss the big tough guys, which is very useful throughout the game. The bad thing is that you can't upgrade arrows, and though it's a lot longer than most PS2 games (it's one thing that I don't like about most action games on the PS2), it's still too short for my tastes.

Radiata Stories: Awesome game, good battle system, good music, funny characters, good story. The way to get other characters to put them in your party's fun, if a little irritating at some times. Some of the bad things, the main charater is a freaking moron in the beginning of the game, a lot of choices you do in the game influences everything else you do after, and it's a pain to know what's the good choice... A good game if you're patient.

Star Ocean, Till End Of Time: The graphics are awesome, the story and all the info of this game's amazing, the weapons, items, monsters and characters are cool, and the battle system is pretty nifty. The problem I have with it is that when you level up, you don't get your stats raised, you get a few measly points so you can raise the level of your Hp, Mp, attack and Defense. Hp is how much of it you get everytime you go up a level, same thing for Mp, attack and Defense is how good the character will be defending or attacking.
