Need a new game

SWM:Seeking new game on XBox, GC, or PS2. Likes RPGs, action, strategy, walks on the beach, and deep conversations.

Anyone have any good recommendations? I'm hard pressed to find a new (not necissarily new release) game of interest. So if you have a favorite that you think everyone should play, I'm always interested in those.

I can''t recommend Panzer Dragoon enough. Damn this game is fun. it''s an action shooter with strategy elements (knowing when to use which dragon form, and where to place your dragon) with tons of unlockables and the most beautiful graphics yet for the xbox. how''s that for a single sentence?

If you like console RPG''s Suikodan III on the PS2 is a pretty solid choice. If you don''t like console RPG''s however, this one won''t change your mind.

Panzer Dragoon is a good choice to buy if you really like that arcade shooter kind of game. Otherwise, I think it''s short enough to just rent and have a fun weekend with it.

You didn''t mention sports games but NHL 2K3 is a great choice as well.

I never did play the earlier Suikoden games on PS1, but I did always hear good things about them. And I''ve been tempted by Suikoden 3, so maybe I''ll just go pick that up.

So, question is, should I instead wait until Xenosaga comes out (next month?). I really liked Xenogears until it became a book.

And Panzer Dragoon is rad, though I''ve already thrown about 10 hours into it, and unlocked a bunch of stuff. I''ll probably play through the Panzer Dragoon port I unlocked. Spiffy.

Well, if you disliked the ''book parts'' in XG then you probably won''t like XS that much overall as it is full of cutscenes. There''s a game in there, too, but I know many import players complained about the mass of movies.

Try Sly Cooper on PS2. It''s fairly short so you could probably just rent it. It''s one of the most purely fun games I''ve played in a long time.
