GameZone:
The Shin Megami Tensei franchise has long been an established universe in gaming, with titles launching across all platforms. While there have been many spin offs of the series, from Devil Summoner to Persona to Digital Devil Saga, there are elements that tie each entry to the series together, namely bizarre and fascinating stories and impressive characters and enemies. Now, Atlus is looking to launch an all-new SMT game for the DS, a strategy role-playing game called Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
DHGF: The premise of our new “Best of the Best” column is quite simple. We’re going to take a look at all the games that have won various awards over the years and them rank them from best to worst to crown what is, well, “The Best of the Best.” The purpose of this is twofold. The first is to generate some fun (AND CIVIL) discussions between readers and staff as they agree, disagree and make their own rankings of the award winning games. The second is to look back at the history of Diehard GameFAN and see if we can find any trends in what’s won over the years. Obviously any “Top Whatever” list is highly subjective, so keep that in mind. After all, if you give ten people a list of ten games, the likelihood that even two have them in the same exact order is quite small. So anyone taking this as SERIOUS BUSINESS and getting butt hurt that Game A is ranking higher/lower than Game B will be given a pat on the head and reminded that we’re talking about something as inconsequential to the world as video games and that they should really just relax. Our previous renditions looked at our Game of the Year winners and Platformers. This time we’ll be looking at the winners of the “Nintendo DS Game of the Year” award.
newbreview gives it's verdict on the DS version of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise.
It seems to me we’ve stumbled upon a new era. Without even realizing it, a new criteria for game love has appeared. Though really, it isn’t all that new. It’s something that did happen before, once ports started becoming prolific, but now that we’re heading into the midst of the digital era, we’ve reached a point where the best way to determine the value and merit of a video game isn’t based upon review scores or peer pressure.
It’s how often you’re willing to buy it.
I thought I was the only crazy bastard. It prevents me from trying other rpgs, but I think I rather get stuck with the same old than to try a new rpg I may never like.
Hmm
I own four copies of Ocarina of Time (N64, Wind Waker Preorder bonus, Collection, 3DS)
3 copies of A Link To The Past (SNES, GBA, Wii Ware)
4 Copies of Resident Evil 4 (GCN, Wii, PC, 360)
3 Copies of Resident Evil 5 (360, PS3, PC)
2 Copies of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X (PS2, GCN)
2 Copies of Mario Kart 64 (N64, Wii Ware)
3 Copies of Steins;Gate (360, PS3, PSP)
2 Copies of No More Heroes 1 (360, Wii)
2 Copies of Super Mario 64 (N64, DS)
2 Copies of Devil May Cry 1 and 3 (PS2 Only)
2 Copies of Chains of Olympus (PSP, PS3)
3 Copies of MGS3 (PS2, Subsistance, Collection)

2 Copies of FFXI (PS2, Xbox 360)
2 Copies of FFXIII (PS3, 360)
2 Copies of FFXIII-2 (PS3, 360)
I'd buy Persona 3 over and over again as well. Even though I've done EVERYTHING in the game, I still feel like playing it again. And by everything, I SERIOUSLY mean EVERYTHING.
I have Persona 3 and Persona 3: FES on my PS2. I got it as a PS2 Classic from the PS Store for my PS3, I also own Persona 3 Portable. I don't have a Vita but when I do get it, Persona 4 will DEFINITELY be my first Vita game.
lol, I think I have own FF IV on every system available to me.
SNES
PS One
PSP
DS
GBC
I love that game...lol
I bought an extra copy of FFXII once just because it came in a steel case.
I bought Plants vs Zombies three times before I even made it through the entire campaign (Vita version is the tops imo).
I think it is a testament to the game if we're willing to repeatedly spend money on it. Repeated playthroughs are also a good measure.
