Staff Picks 5
« on: October 31, 2003, 09:10:34 AM »
Ok, THIS time we'll do video games. Your 3 best RPG Video Games (regardless of platform) with 55 or fewer words describing each. I expect to see a lot of Final Fantasies, and for PC users, some Neverwinter Nights and Diablo 2s.

This is due by CoB Friday, Nov 7 so I can work on it over that weekend. We'll post it on Nov 10. As usual, I'll probably be pretty darn relaxed about getting them in on Saturday or Sunday.

Note: this is a shorter time than the usual 2 weeks, due to this weeks Friday posting instead of Monday.

I do believe you are forgetting someone. Our little bewitched friend, Zelda and Link. No? And could Metroid Prime be a RPG game? I guess I don't really play RPG video games that much anymore.

yeah, Zelda counts.
I don't think Metroid Prime does, though, I've never played it though, so I'll let someone with more authority speak on it.

My friend is a big Metroid fan and says that it isn't an RPG, but a sidescroller.

Gemm means the latest one, Prime. Its not a side scroller, its a 3rd person thing.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

yeah, but it sounds to me like it's still more related to a side scroller or an FPS than an RPG
