"Want a sequel?"

Ever play a game that you loved so dearly but question the liklihood of seeing the franchise ever again?

It worries me to be honest that after enjoying a very Ubi-soft Christmas last year that I may never experience games like that again.

I rarely finish games, I've finally beaten the boss in Resident Evil 0 (cheers), Pokemon Sapphire came to a close a few months back... I did Super Mario World again. I also finished Mario Kart before the end of 2003.

But to be fair the games that I've most recently finished and have remained in my memory have been Ubi-soft titles. I finished Prince of Persia in April, I'm verging on the end of Beyond Good and Evil and last Christmas would have sucked without the wonderful XIII.

It is for this reason that Beyond Good and Evil and XIII have been added to my list of "I want a sequel and I want one now".

Along with Super Monkey Ball 3, Shadowman 3 (go on Iguana, set up a new company and buy the rights) and Turok.

I'd just XIII 2 over Metroid Prime 2 anyday.

Nintendo answered my prayers recently by bringing another in the Paper Mario series. Hope it happens again.

I think the real quality of Skies shows through the fact that, despite all the random-and-very-boring-minor (major battles are class) battles, I still couldn't stop playing it for days.

It's a DC generation game in the GC era, and yet it's still great.

(You do know 'Skies' is made by Sega, don't you?)

And loved by all is certainly not true, because it's atrocious. All the negative aspects of RPGs rolled into one frustrating mess of repetitive gameplay and constant, unchallenging random battles.

It beats anything else on the Cube hands down for me. Simple.

Then again I haven't got very far.

You are banished.

Begone.

The game was easyish

And boringish.

That's because you're a lame ass, buddy.

F zero was a great game, just very hard which is very hardcore.

And Skies is so much an RPG that I struggle to play it.

One of those games where I dread to enter a dungeon.

Wrong.

Skies is loved by all.

Sega ballsed up F-Zero because after the DC their game designing talents fell to standards of a very small chimp.

Lesson for Nintendo: Don't give crap companies your franchises.

I'm sorry but both are an aquired taste... mainly to the hardcore gamer.
