#180 – Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (SNES)
The sixth DQ game was never localized for the SNES but it had various translation patches. With the recent DS release (Which I haven’t played) the game has gained some popularity. My review is on the Super Famicon version of DQ6. My first impression was that the graphics, character sprites and areas in general looked so different from DQ5. I mean DQ1-4 (On the NES) had similar style of graphics and areas but DQ6 I believe used a separate engine which I commend. Battles in this game were tough initially and like most DQ games, this game requires grinding if you want to advance the game without too much frustration. After playing DQ6 you find out that the job/class system from DQ7 wasn’t its own idea. It only built upon DQ6’s implementation. I have a soft spot for the DQ games. Its traditional RPG style is just soothing and DQ6 was without a doubt one of the best RPGs on the SNES.
#179 – Winning Eleven 10 (PS2)
Forgive me if putting a Football/Soccer over your favorite RPG/Game is annoying you. I put this game at this high a rank for good reason. First I love football and have always been a supporter of FC Barcelona since 1998. Second, the gameplay mechanics, depth, and career mode (Master League) was simply fantastic. To this day I can’t think of a better football game than this. Everything was so balanced and the 6 star difficulty added a whole new dimension of challenge and entertainment. This game has so much playability that it’s not even funny. But all in all this is only a game for football fans and football fans only and me being a huge fan played (and still plays) this game for hours and hours.
