I've had an account for about a month now and I've run out of games I want to try. I have a PS2, Nintendo DS, and a NGC with no controllers actually, so no Gamecube suggestions, please.

I'll take any ideas other then sports and sim games

Took me about a week and a half of obsessive playing to beat.

God of War is worth buying, rather than renting.

I rented it and played it all day (I'm talking 8+ hours a day) for three days and beat it.

...but the replay value is awesome. If I had money, I'd buy this game.

Stella Deus is a great, but virtually unknown it seems, game for the PS2

It's an RPG. Very challenging, fights against things that aren't stupid, and a combat system that almost but not really reminds me of the Xeno games. If you aren't a bad person, you will want to at least give this game a chance.

I decided to elaborate on this, since that was a horrible sorta explanation.

It's a strategy RPG set in the middle of a war with some allusions to religion. It is, in my opinion, second in the genre only to FFT - the original, the the GBA crap.

If I was going to make an analogy with Stella Deus' graphic it would be: Stella Deus' graphic to SRPG genre is to Half-Life 2 graphic in the First Person Shooter genre. For an SRPG, Stella Deus' graphic is gorgeous, and the cell-shaded graphic combined with the animation makes Stella Deus like a modern anime. If you are an anime fan, and like SRPG, the character design and graphics will hit the sweet spot. That brings up the character design. The character design in Stella Deus can't be described as "sensational," or "revolutionary," but the it is definitely unique. From top to bottom, the clothing in Stella Deus is unique, but exhibits some of the style from the Digital Devil Saga series (also from Atlus). The meat of the graphics lie in the battle animations. The battle animations really separates Stella Deus from the crowd (NIS games, FFT, etc.) The attacks are fluid, and the characters are no longer tiny 2D "cute" sprites, but more mature 2D “handsome” sprites with cell-shading.

Stella Deus' voice acting is not so great, especially Spero, the hero. The music isn't anything spectacular either; I felt that it wasn't grand enough to support the theme in the game.

The System used in Stella Deus grant the player a greater freedom than previous SRPG's. The AP system allows user to make different choices: whether to attack several times, to walk farther, etc. It also affects when the character's turn comes up again. The enemy AI in this game is above average, but it still exhibits the "wussy" AI that hindered some of the other ones...when the NPC's are too far away, they will not do anything at all. They just stand there, much like the AI in Disgaea and Pucelle. The player has to approach a certain radius for the enemy to move; this system can easily be exploited and makes the game much easier. The level up system is pretty generic, think FFT minus the job system.

You've convinced me. I'm checking Best Buy for Stella Deus on my way home.

It's not something people hear about.

Okay! God of War and Stella Deus.

I'm thinking of a Dynasty Warriors, does anyone know if 4 is better then 5, or other such reasons that I should get one over the other?

Go with five. Trust me on this, it is way more fun than four.

I am so finding and buying Stella Deus now.
"He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.' And nobody really ever believes." - Roger 'Verbal' Kint, The Usual Suspects

Picked up Stella Deus used at GameStop this morning. Just now starting, but the FFT/Ogre Battle influence is incredible. I am in love.

This is also the most unforgiving RPG I have ever played. I still love it.
