My main character just became a paladin in Final Fantasy II (IV) on the SNES.

I am just a bit after that part. This is my first playthrough.

Eww nice!! It's my first playthrough as well.

HAHAHA I just finished that yesterday its my first play through of any FF game I love It. Also playing Wario Land shake it, awsome 2D graphics.

Restarted  Half Minute Hero (PSP)...still a blast to play.

It wasn't on a console, but while we were out RVing I picked up "Forbidden Island" at a nearby game shop and we played it this evening.  It was a real hoot!  Here's a link to the game on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gamewright-317-Forbidden-Island/dp/B003D7F4YY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314503875&sr=8-1



It's a co-op game, is easy to learn, and the game is relatively quick (30 Minutes) which is a big bonus now that we have a 3 year old and are pretty wiped out after he goes to sleep.  I've been a big fan of Euro-style board games (Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Java, etc) for a long time now and this one snuck up on me.  It's great, and cheap.

Thanks for the recommendation Roflmao!  I also am a big fan of this style game; cause of schedule issue I don't get to play them much any more, so cheap + short are a winning combination!  ^__^

You bet!  I've played it a few more times since I posted and we've lost more than we've won, which makes for some crazy games.  Really fun stuff. 

I'd also recommend Castle Panic:

It's another really intense co-op board game.  The goal is to keep a Castle from being overrun by hordes of monsters.  It's a little higher on the nerd scale because of the D&D/LOTR-ish theme, but it is all sorts of fun.  Games are still relatively quick (though a little longer than Forbidden Island - maybe 45 minutes) and it costs a little more (Looks like Amazon has it for about $25 shipped right now though it is probably a fair bit more at your local game store).

I've been playing a lot of Borderlands on the PC lately.  It's funny, I've had the game for ages but never really took to it for some reason.  On a whim, I started it up about a week ago and I've been totally hooked.

I got Boarderlands for Christmas a few years ago and did the same thing. I haven't touched it since that morning.

My dad was playing borderlands a bunch, so I got into it some too.  Played it for a good while, then stopped for some reason hehe.

Spent some time playing through FF7 on PS1 yesterday.  Finally slogged through the end of Disc 1.  Each time I try and play through that game I always seem to stop before the end of disc 1.  This time I'll see it through.

[roflmao]

Yeah, that first disc seems to go on forever.  I think I've only made it past the first disc once.   And I've never finished FF7.  The cutscenes in that game blew my mind when I first played the game.
