This is a decent game if you are looking for a basic turn based RPG. no real strenuous graphics... feels like a classic super nintendo RPG in a lot of ways. You basically get a real advantage with your party if you know what you are doing. It is rare that you don't get to dominate a battle, BUT with the add-ons, you can easily get owned. I have a party that is mostly level 50, and the bottom floor of the add-on STILL owns me. The trophies also are not all that difficult to achieve if you are looking to get the platinum.
The only issue is, killing 50,000 monsters and playing the game for 200ish hours, can get old. especially if you realize you can create your entire party from the "main" characters and level them up all at the same time instead of having 50+ characters. I have played the game 110 hours and beaten it with most characters. I have figured out the game so well, i can beat the game in 30 minutes. so playing for another 90 hours... seems pretty tedious especially just to get a trophy. I almost feel like i should start the game, turn my fan on to keep my ps3 cool, and watch cable. The only real issue is killing 50000 monsters, which honestly you could just fight the monsters on the first floor.

Virtua Fighter 5
I have been playing Virtua Fighter off and on for years, including the arcade games. Virtua Fighter 4 was not all that difficult of a game, and once you learned how the A.I worked, it never really got more challenging. It is the one REAL downside to this game. If you master a character, the computer basically cannot beat you. My actual record on Virtua fighter 5 story mode is like 500 wins, and 10ish losses. No quitting in the middle of a battle either. that is my actual record. Kind of a disappointment in my opinion. If you are looking for a challenge, and you played VF4 a lot... you are not in for one. I think 4 was actually harder.
Yakuza 3
This is a fun game, and with the multiple assortment of mini-games, it is definitely a challenge. The only real issue I had with this game, is the number of hoodlums you face seems to be never ending. As I once said to my best friend "There sure are alot of hoods in Japan." This game is basically a more 3 dimensional version of virtua fighter with some of the most violent take downs and moves i have ever seen in a game. Slamming men into safety railings. Picking up environmental objects and bludgeoning them half-to-death. Just a lot of violence, and a decent story-line to boot.
Dante's Inferno
This is another God of War rip off, but instead of legendary mythical beasts from Greek Mythos, you are fighting Demon's in hell. Really kind of an easy game in my opinion, and because of that I never felt like buying the add-on content was worth it.
Batman: Arkham Asylum
I like this game. Sometimes the play control can be choppy and disappointing. But the storyline, was great. It was definitely accurate of how the comics would go. It made me feel like i was playing a modernized version of the early to mid 90s Knightfall series, but with modern graphics and the Voice of the 90s Batman, who as we of the 90s generation get to play the man who voiced batman in a decent story. This game deserved Game of the Year, and it is a must have game for any true batman fan.
The Cave
This game is not the greatest game in the world. and honestly, the fact it is trying to teach you a moral in a video game can get pretty lame. To top it off, the game's puzzles can be rather annoying. To top it off, the voice of The Cave, gets REALLY old. This is not a game I would have actually purchased, and am grateful it was free on ps plus. And the fact that you have to play and beat the game at least 5ish times to get all of the endings is annoying and repetitive. not really a game i would recommend to people.
Final Fantasy X HD
I liked the storyline of FFX, I never actually played X-2 but it got mixed reviews. I personally thought if you took it on it's own merit it was one of the better FF Games, originality.my all-time favorite still being FF7, due to its originality I am sorry that they never actually finished the HD remake of 7. especially since it was the greatest selling game for all of squaresoft's library. I think remaking X in HD is a good choice for square, but not the best choice that they could have made for HD remakes.
