    Square because Tobal was a cool fighting game. It's a shame Tobal 2 never made it to the US.

    Tobal #1 is the only game I've ever played by Square that I didn't like, in fact I hated it.

    Namco. I adore Galaga and Tales is one of the finest RPG series around.

    Square, because there's this obscure little RPG series called Final Fantasy that I really like...

    Einhander is entirely deserving of a spot on that list, or maybe I'm just a sucker for old-school shooters. Hey, it could see a sequel one day (wishful thinking getting the best of me again). Anyhow.

    It's not really a choice I care to make. I'll buy a game if it's fun, regardless of who made it. Both companies put out wonderful series, and I've played a few games developed by both that I didn't care for at all.

    There's one thing about Namco, and namely their fighting games, that I find interesting.

    First of all, before I make this remark, I feel it's important to mention that I have played neither Tekken 3 or Tekken Tag Tournament, and have played the arcade renditions of the first two too long ago to remember much of them. Therefore, I have no idea how similar in design Tekken 4 is to its predecessors. With that out of the way, I can't stand Tekken 4. I might as well play Kakuto Chojin, or poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick for that matter, because both activities are equally as appealing to me. I won't pass judgement on the Tekken name until I've played the entirety of the series, but T4 left such a bad taste in my mouth that I don't really have any incentive to give the other titles a go. It's a favorite in tournaments, and apparently has a very technical fighting engine, but all that is irrelevant to me. If it's boring, I won't play it.

    On the other hand, I love Soul Calibur II. I still favor 2D fighters as a whole, but SCII is the finest 3D fighter I've ever played.

    I'm not sure how I planned on following up on what I've already said, but I'm far too tired to make any attempt at that now.

    Good night all.

    I have to go for Square.

    I've had more hours of enjoyment from just one Final Fantasy game than most of Namco's offering's

    The only Namco game I care for is Soul Calibur 2. I don't know how the same company can produce the best 3D beat 'em up in SC2 and then on the other hand produce the button bashing rubbish that is Tekken!

    I am planning on getting Tales Of Symphonia at some point as it looks/sounds very good. The other Namco RPG's have never been released in the UK so I have no idea how they compare to Square's offering's.

    Namco, because of Galaga and Katamari Freaking Damacy.
