I haven't decided whether to play Dragon Quest 8 yet, as I didn't like what I've heard or played of the series.
One word: Level-5. Totally the only reason I'm going to play it.

I've only played the first Dark Cloud, and that did rock. I've yet to pick up DC2 despite how good some people say it is. I am, however, looking forward to Rogue Galaxy quite a lot.

I hated Dark Cloud 2 -- the only thing I liked about it was the fact that items were Stacked in your inventory instead of item-item-item. That, and it had the best voices I've ever heard in a videogame. Pretty much it -- it's overrated, but I guess it's nice to know Level-5 is turning into quite the power house.

I'm wondering, is that game just about rolling up random things you find on Earth or is there more to the gameplay and story than that? So far, I heard love-hate things about the first one. D:
You're the Prince of All Cosmos. Your dad, King of All Cosmos, got drunk one day and broke all the stars in the sky in his stupor. Your job is to roll things up so he can send them into the sky and form new stars and constellations. That's the bulk of the story element.
Basically, yeah, you roll around and pick things up. There's strategy to it, though. You need to have a large enough Katamari to pick up bigger things, but being bigger means you'll be locked out of smaller areas. It's give and take. There's also levels where you can to collect as many as you can of a certain item or find something specific.
The first one is cheap. You're not going to lose out on much by trying it out. I think it's an interesting concept and I found it to be a lot of fun, particularly when you get to the later stages. The soundtrack is amazing. Unfortunately, the game is rather short, but for $20 I could have done a lot worse.

Ah, thanks Tony! I'll have to try that one out then if I can find a copy here. I actually haven't seen a used one out in town. D: It's pretty cheap on eBay so I might just get it there.
The Katamari reminds me of of Willy Wonka's 'Everlasting Gobstopper' that was shown in the movie. ^^;

Yea, it's quirkly style is what attracted me to the game but I wasn't sure if it was worth a play. A lot of people seem to love it and say it's quite addicting but then there are those who say it's nothing but you rolling up random objects. I think I'll be the judge of that though...
The rolling part made me so dizzy I couldn't pick the game up again after the first try. T^T
I'm awaiting DDS2, DS: Kuzunoha Raidou, and KH2.
 I thought this was a ninja, haha.

I hope it's bright colors and rolling up stuff don't get me dizzy. D: I hate games that tend to do that but I'll give Katamari a try.
As much as I hate KH...it has Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. XD; Gahaha~

...Johnny Depp I can understand, but Orlando Bloom? Ew. Just. Ew.

I've never understood girls' fascination with Bloom. He's a decent actor (nothing amazing, however), but he looks slightly rat-ish in my opinion...
As for Kingdom Hearts 2... meh. They'd have to fix so many fundamental problems I have with the original before I'd be tricked into getting the sequel. I'm a huge Disney fan and not even that could force me to put up with that game and its poor usage of the franchises.

I found the game rather enjoyable when I started thinking of the music, such as the orchestrated introduction when you leave the game on the title screen. Other than that, I just found it was an RPG that could fufill my RPG thirst...for awhile. I couldn't stand playing the game again on Expert.

Hmm, a lot of girls seemed to fawn over him because of the LotR series(pretty boy? Er, elf?). D: I realy liked his role in PotC though and Troy(despite he was a wuss).
For KH, I got really tired and dizzy after playing about an hour of it. I have to agree with the camera angles but I heard they fixed that problem for KH2. (Still doesn't give me a reason to play it.) The story just didn't catch me at all.^^; I am really interested in the PotC part even though they look so out of...character.

...Woah. I didn't know Orlando Bloom was Legolas. I liked Legolas, just because he wasn't loud and obnoxious like a lot of the other characters were. Plus, bow and arrows are awesome.
KH's camera got me sick -- I get motion sick extremely easy, so, I threw up around the first or so battle.
