Probably the only JRPG I have ever enjoyed, save for Chrono Trigger. Once I started playing this game I just couldn't stop.
Battlefield and Metal Gear Solid 4 were the only games I played over the summer of 2008. I ignored just about everything else because these games were so great.
Epic strategy game. The battles are massive and multiplayer is awesome. Diplomacy and alliances were one of the best aspects of the game. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, realist foreign polices at their finest. It just take too damn long to play even one game.
Honorable mention.
Honorable mention. I credit this game with reinvigorating my interest in fighting games. Don't know why this game got me back into it, but it was fun. I, along with my co-workers, then became addicted to Street Fighter HD Turbo Remix.
