About Me
My names Joe, I'm 22 and From Manchester UK. Long time reader of Destructoid and lover of Podcastle. I'm an IT administrator, and build custom PC's to order.

Consoles owned:

NES / SNES / EVERY GameBoy / N64 / Wii
Gamegear / Dreamcast / Megadrive / Master System
PSX / PS2 / PSP Phat CFW / PSP Slim / PS3
XBOX / X360
GP2X

And of course my trusty PC. (Core2Quad Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz, 8GB Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz, 2 x XFX GT275 XXX's)

First console i got was my NES when i was 5 (which i dismantled within an hour of getting, luckily it still worked) with an amazing 350-in-1 game cart from Japan that had all the best NES games on ( Got it from a japanese woman, not sure of its legality) looks like it could be quite rare now...

I currently have the Dreamcast, PS3, X360 and n64 plugged into my TV, and I'm currently playing skies of arcadia for the dreamcast.

Persona! That was the other one! I remember reading about P4 here and thinking it looked pretty good, long time till it comes out in the UK though apparently.

Hmm never even glanced at a God of War game before, might take a look.

@ Justin
Hmm I played SOTC at a friends for 5 mins but I never gave it a second look after that (I rode around for 5 mins) perhaps I should give it a proper go.

I'm definitely going to buy P3FES, it should bide my time till 4 comes out.

@Muddy Waterz
Got one, only problem is Sony removed the BC before i got mine. Probably because they are BASTARDS.

Beyond Good & Evil, Sly Cooper games, Okami, ICO (if you can even find a copy of it), and Shadow of the Colossus are games I think you should place at the top of your list. Maybe Final Fantasy X if you don't mind the absolutely ridiculous, and rather embarrassing, characters.

Zone of the Enders & ZOE2
Godhand
Everything Ratchet & Clank
Shadow of the Colossus
God of War & GOW2
Devil May Cry

maybe Shinobi, but it's been years since I played that one and I don't remember if it was awesome or just good. Still on my shelf, at least.

You know what game you should buy first?

The Forums

I hear they give out free copies in the forums.

Final Fantasy X was way better in my opinion than XII

any of the NiS stuff except for Phantom Brave which has a small potentially game ending glitch that takes away the recommendation. Although its still a pretty good game.

I never owned one, but now that I have a PlayStation 3, I just play lots of great PS2 RPGs on that.

Actually, since I got a PS3, I have bought more PS2 games for that than PS3 games.

Shadow of the Colossus.
Persona 3 and 4.
Kingdom Hearts 1 2

Everybody's made great suggestions, but here's two nobody has mentioned yet:

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory

Maximo Vs. the Army of Zin

Both really great when your in the mood for platforming hack n' slash action, and cheap to boot. You can get both for under $10.

Blood Will Tell: Osamu Tezuka's Dororo

Really weird (but awesome) samurai action game. Recommended.
