So Final Fantasy games are often unrelated to one another. Meaning you can just pick whichever to start. Although Final Fantasy X has a direct sequel, that being Final Fantasy X-2.

Next is about Mega Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. Even though you have it listed I still mention it because Subsistence includes:

• Metal Gear
• Metal Gear 2

Being the most recommended versions of those games. (Not including Nintendo's recent ports)

Recently did a no-deaths kick-me run of God Hand. The combo system in that game is so satisfying.

Also second the recommendation for Steam Bot Chronicles. The dialogue doesn't half let you say some out-of-pocket shit.

A warning about emulation though; bind a key to swap between hardware and software rendering. Software mode is necessary within stores.

Honestly? I'm failing day one. Took me until my mid-twenties just to memorise the order of months.

Backup straight out the building. Ain't about to be there when they find out.

• OutKast - Hey Ya!

I used to spend hours trying to get the image on the right page. Now i use Org-mode LaTeX, and just accept that it's impossible.

Shall I give you a tour of my hallway?

Congratulations! You spawned the Hydra in GTA:SA

Personally, I believe games are timeless regardless of nostalgia, simply requiring a bit of adjustment time. I still actively play games on older platforms quite frequently.

I still believe these games hold up; With playing for either their unique story/gameplay/mechanics. Here's some good PSP games:

• Gitaroo Man
• Kenka Bancho
• Pursuit Force
• Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice
• Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
• Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus
• Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
• Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N.
• Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
• Shin Megami Tensei: Persona
• Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin
• Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable
• Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
• Phantasy Star Portable 2
• PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient 1 & 2
• The Warriors
• Puzzle Guzzle (
• Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman
• Patapon 1/2/3

I'd also recommend:

• Sims 2

Simply because the gameplay differs from the usual games.
