Any Good Games out there?

Ah, I am playing through SO2 for the millionth time ATM. I have good childhood memories w/ it. The story is definitely hard to follow if you haven't played both stories. Tons of replay value, though. I would suggest playing again and trying to get secret characters (Opera&Ernest, Precis, Ashton, Dias/Leon, Chisato) and do PA's in most towns at different points in the story.

For Action/Adventure, Crystal Chronicles might suit you, it's kind of a mix between that and RPG. Good RPG gateway, anyways. The Metroid game for the Gamecube is pretty good, although I've never finished it. Starfox is excellent. Sonic Adventure 1&2 are also good choices. You seem to like Mario games, so Luigi's Mansion could be good for you. I believe they have a few Spyro games for the gamecube/Wii, they are a solid choice, along with Crash Bandicoot games. Splinter Cell is for the Gamecube iirc, but then you are stepping in to shooter games.

For the Wii, there is a plethora of Sonic games (and Mario ones) if that's your thing. Monster Hunter Tri I've heard is good, never played it though.

That's all I can think of, you've tapped me for Action/Adventure.
