Who else has Ninja Gaiden Black? It is godly, is it not? You must now tell me the best games for:

Nintendo DS

I don't have many, but Dawn of Sorrow is a lot of fun.

Mario 64 is nice as well.

PS2

Devil May Cry was nice in the day, as was Ico. Both are kinda dated now. Newer games I am not sure about. Which is part of why I made this thread, yes. I still have not tired of the Gradius games but they are not for everyone.

X-Box

Ninja Gaiden Black. Un-fucking-believable. Madness. Insanity. Best sweaty, trembling, nerve-wracking action ever packed into a game.
Project Gotham Racing games are awesome.

Gamecube

Rogue Leader is great Star Wars fun. Metroid Prime is fantastic. Eternal Darkness is weird but fun.

So. What else is good? I have the FFX games for PS2, haven't played them yet. =P

PS2: Try Katamari Damacy? Have you played Amplitude?

You have a DS but don't yet have Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney? Buy them. They are wonderful games. Trama Center: Under the Knife is good too.

Let's see for PS2 Katamari Damacy, Shadow of the Colossus and Kingdom Hearts (or you could wait for the sequel, which comes out in March). That's all I can think of that I own at the moment.

My house is full of gamers, so collectively we have damn near every console you can have. These are the games I like for the systems we have:

NES - Bubble Bobble, Mario 2, Link
Sega Genesis - Sonic 2, Eccho the Dolphin
Sega CD - Meh.
Nintendo 64 - Mario Cart and James Bond
PS1 - Meh
PS2 - Crazy Taxi
GameCube - Resident Evil 4, Luigi's Haunted Mansion.

No X Box though.

I like alien hominid, but you need two players cuz it's pretty tough.

It seems weird to see someone playing Crazy Taxi on a system that is not the Dreamcast.

My favorite Cube games are Paper Mario 2, F-Zero GX, and both Metroid Prime games.

X-Box: Burnout: Revenge (especially if you have to drive in traffic a lot, and that process drives you mad). All the Prince of Persia games but especially the first and the third. NFL 2K5 and MLB 2K5 if you like sports games. Play these games and then damn EA for the monolith it is. PSYCHONAUTS!! If you do not play Psychonauts then you will be taunted mercilessly by people who DO know what it means to utter "Don't try to take my husband from me. You tramp." in manly-CIA agent tones! Definitely Ninja Gaiden Black (and you'd better get the Black edition, because unless you are a GOD--and you most likely are not--you simply will be a Ninja Dog). Soul Calibur II for any of the three consoles, perhaps for the Cube since the bonus character on that edition is Link. Beyond Good and Evil. I'd *almost* say Indigo Prophecy, but there's a couple of questionable logic leaps late in the story that don't make me want to play it more than once.

PS2: Dragon Quest VIII. Katamari Damacy. Dark Cloud 2. Final Fantasy X, and if you're REALLY gay, or just appreciate the need for a flexible wardrobe that gives you different super-powers, Final Fantasy X-2. ALMOST Kingdom Hearts, because the mixing of Final Fantasy and Disney--plus the amazing way all the Disney animated characters are re-created in the game--is very sweet. But I am very frustrated by the gameplay. As much as I love Soul Calibur, I returned Soul Calibur III. I just couldn't get into it, and was very disappointed by it.

Cube: Paper Mario 2. Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime: Echoes. Eternal Darkness. Rogue Leader. Viewtiful Joe. Zelda: Wind Waker. Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life (seriously! It's meditative, man!).

I have way too much free time. Apparently.

PS2: for the love of God, run out now and buy Guitar Hero. Once you start playing it you'll realize that your life has been incomplete until then. And unlike almost all other video games, Guitar Hero also has the benefit of being accessible to people who normally wouldn't go near a console. (Multiplayer Guitar Hero is one of the best party games ever, period.)

As far as role playing games for PS2:

--try one of the Nippon Ichi level-grinders (Disgaea is the best, if you can find it--other than that, try Phantom Brave).

--Growlanser Generations is another great SRPG--two games in one package, but since Working Designs went under I don't know how common it is on shelves.

--You should also definitely check out Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and the two Shadow Hearts games (Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts: Covenant).

--Dragon Quest 8 I've put about 30 hours into at about a half hour a day, but I'm starting to lose interest, partly because Guitar Hero keeps pulling me away.

DS: Advance Wars: Dual Strike is the only DS gave I've been completely happy with, but as a strategy gamer it singlehandedly justifies the cost of the hardware.

Gamecube: honestly, I haven't turned the poor thing on in months. Have you played Gladius, one of those very rare non-Star Wars Lucasarts games? Try that--I really liked it.

Definitely Ninja Gaiden Black (and you'd better get the Black edition, because unless you are a GOD--and you most likely are not--you simply will be a Ninja Dog)

Once you get the hang of it, and get a lot of the moves down to near perfection, you can handle 95% of the game on normal with relative ease. I am trudging through on hard and I find that some easy battles are super hard now and some hard battles actually seem easier, not sure why.

And thanks for all the suggestions. I need to try some of these games, by golly.

if you liked ico, you'll also like Shadow Of The Colossus on the ps2, by the exact same team. beautiful, amazing game.

DS: Animal Crossing: Wild World, Mario Kart DS, Electroplankton, Wario Ware: Mega Micro Games (it's a GBA game, and not to be confused with Wario Ware: Touched, a DS game that isn't nearly as good), Pocket Music, Scrabble (two European GBA games), the as-yet-unreleased DS Tetris (I might be proven wrong, but I doubt it.)

GC: Wario Ware Inc.: Mega Party Games, Ikaruga, either Super Monkey Ball game, either Bomberman game

PS2: Taiko Drum Master, GTA: San Andreas, Katamari Damacy, Burnout 3 (I like it better than Revenge. YMMV.)

Multiplatform: Tetris Worlds, Def Jam: Fight For New York (in both cases, you'll want the GC version if you've got 4 GC controllers, or the PS2 version if you've got a PS2 multitap)

And, just for sasshat:
2600: Megamania
5200: Qix
Intellivision: Safecracker
NES: Milon's Secret Castle
Gameboy: Legend of the River King
SNES: Aerobiz Supersonic
Genesis: Gunstar Heroes
32x: Virtua Fighter
Saturn: Fighters Megamix
PS1: Twisted Metal
N64: Tetrisphere
Dreamcast: Rez

God of War, Battlefront II, We Love Katamari, Red Dead Revolver for PSII.

For Dreamcast, Powerstone II, Bass Fishing (or Marine Fishing, whatever floats your boat), and NFL 2K2 (because you can still turn off the rules in 2K2). And at NBA 2K2 you can change the character models and have a team of spindly freaks.
