Some people may be turned off by the silent Protagonist, but the amount of emotion captured in facial and body expressions is impressive. The majority of the characters however, are voiced and done so very well. The story is more politically motivated, far from the standard boy saves world. The battles are mainly turn based, with a few RTS army/ship battles thrown in, which keep things from getting stale. All in all it may not be the best game, but it is certainly underrated and deserving of praise. I second the Suikoden V recommendation.

Go backwards compaibility on the 360!John H. yeah Odama should probably be on this list. After all these years it took to make it's been a very different game from the initial design. Too bad no one picked that up either.Tarnum Baten Kaitos Origins was OK, it came out at a bad time too where all the Nintendo focus was on the Wii instead of any of the Gamecube line up.It looks like the Gamecube got the short end of the stick in '06, but in '07 Nintendo has a lot of love.

Being a great and addictive game, this is Wario Ware meet rhythm games. It's so good I'd say it's the Ouendan of GBA games and one of the best GBA games in general. Must buy for anyone who has a GBA/SP/Micro or even a DS. And yes, that's a lot of people.I've got Orbital as well, great game. Am gonna buy Okami whenever the hell it comes out here in Europe v_v
