Oh man, your thoughts on Monster Rancher almost make me want to get a DS just for this.  I loved the original and the second one, but then found they started drifting away from Monster Raising into some bizarre design choices. 

Wait, you could go through the mirror thing if you had a romance with Morrigan? My character did that in the main game, and that didn't happen when I played Witch Hunt. I probably picked the wrong dialog option or something. But really, I thought Witch Hunt was at the very least leagues better than every other Dragon Age DLC, even if that isn't really saying much, considering how generally bad all the DLC for that game is (I would personally consider Darkspawn Chronicles to be worse than horse armor because you are paying $7 for an experience that is actively bad as opposed to just wasting your money on something borderline cosmetic. Yeah, it is still less than 2 hours of gameplay in exchange for some incredibly opaque hints, but at least you can tell they put some effort into it, unlike aforementioned Darkspawn Chronicles or Golems of Agmarak.

" Can we talk about how awesome the supporting cast was in Witch Hunt?  For two throw away characters in a two hour or less piece of content I loved the hell out of those characters.  I was almost sad to walk through the portal with Morrigan and leave them hanging. "

Monster Rancher those PS2 games when you can take pictures of stuff and it comes to life?

Love Monster Rancher, so much.  I've heard 4 was the best in the series, along with 2, but might have to give the DS version a shot.  Does it have Jells?  No Jell, No Sell.

I wish I had something worthwhile to add to the discussion, but I thought this topic was about Mel Gibson. I do admit I am greatly disappointed. I figured it was about Mel's movie career problems, so he decided to jump into videogames. How would he achieve this? I really have no earthly idea, and this is why, as the meme goes, "I am disappoint."

Bought Monster Hunter DS on release week last year. And, well, general consus is "DS, I'mma let you finish, but Monster Rancher 4 was the best monster breeding game ever." 
 
That said, still love the damn thing.

Yeah, I did hear about the choices offered if you were romantically involved with Morrigan, but ultimately, I felt they still didn't answer any questions, such as what happened to that demon/god child?  Where did you venture off to together and what did you do?  I guess I expected more Morrigan that a brief, cryptic appearance at the end.

I really enjoyed the witch hunt.  Maybe it was because my Warden was romantically involved with Morrigan and fathered a demon/god child with her, that I was attached to the story more.  I also found it satisfying that my Warden entered that mirror thing with her and ventured into the great unknown.

So it's not quite Friday, but I expect I'll be kinda busy tomorrow.  So here's this week rundown on the games.
