I have played it and forgot to put it on there! (but you're right I did love it)
Definitely get Diablo 3. It's way better than it was on PC.
For Wii:
Arc Rise Fantasia (JRPG)
Spyborgs (action)
Wario Land: Shake It (platformer)
Muramasa: The Demon Blade (action)
Zack & Wiki (puzzle)
PS3:
Rayman Origins/Rayman Legends (platformer)
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time (action)
Castle of Illusion HD (platformer) It even has the original Sega game.
DuckTales Remastered (platformer)
Zeno Clash 2 (first-person action)
I got Diablo 3, I like it so far...too bad you miss the preorder bonus.
Wii
If you played Xenoblade then get Pandora's tower, monster hunter tri is pretty good too (online compatible) but is a bit outdated since it has an "improved" version out
PS3
Tales of graces f and tales of Xillia too.
Valkyria Chronicles is one of the best 5 games on the PS3.
Do you like Dragon Quest and Pokemon? Because Ni no Kuni is roughly half of each, with a dash of Earthbound. Not always the best parts of those three, but hey, I enjoyed it.
XCOM: EU is what it is, which is in the upper tiers of games, but not really a "must-play" like the original was.
Fallout: New Vegas is my last official recommendation, pretty surprising to me that no Bethesda games are on your list, and New Vegas is far better than Fallout 3 and somewhat better than Skyrim.
Yeah, Ni no Kuni is on my radar as well. It looks very whimsical.
I don't know why, but Fallout and Elder Scrolls never really appealed to me. I'm not a big fan of first person RPGs. I know they both have a third person mode, but I don't think that was how they were intended to be played.
Fallout 1 and 2 didn't have a first person mode =/Quote:

Well I'm going with Valkyria Chronicles for sure. For the other game I think I'm going to try Ni no Kuni since it looks whimsical and enjoyable. Fallout/XCOM/Far Cry also look fun but maybe a bit too heavy for me right now. I want something a little more lighthearted.
Also is Dragon Age Origins any good? I really loved Mass Effect and the idea of playing BioWare's fantasy series for this gen is intriguing.
The other thing that caught my eye was LA Noire.
Dragon Age has some issues, definitely, but I found it very fun. Fairly cheep now if I recall, so definitely worth the price. Game has a lot of options and trout to do.
Also, PS2 classic's has an absolutely wonderful Sidescroller/RPG called Odin Sphere for 10$. I would say it's the best sidescroller made ever. :p
I second Tales of Graces F and Tales of Xillia. Graces' story is a bit dull but the gameplay is really good. There is also a lot of content, with secrets, exploration, replay value and hard/extreme/etc modes.Quote:

It should be noted that if you do get Far Cry 3, the co-op campaigns would allow for both you and Hannah to play split-screen and in my experience it's absolute loads of fun. :D So when she felt like it, we'd play co-op, and when I was on my own, I'd play single player.

Yup, got it for $30 on Amazon. Games are cheap when you don't play them right when they come out!
If you get dragon age look out for the one with all the bonus content on it.Quote:
