FFVII and FFIX would be solid, I love FFVIII but it's not for most. Also Kingdom Hearts was fun and the first two games had a certain girl as the voice over for Kairi, so that was cool too.

Dead Rising 2. Action RPG that's pretty simple. Fairly high replay value as there are multiple endings and leveling is a blast as you get stronger but its done for you.

That sounds like my kind of game. Leveling manually in some of those games looks intimidating.

Not being able to handle a first-person perspective hurts you as it means you miss out on some great games like Deus Ex Human Revolution.

But, The Witcher 2 is a great game that you would have fun with.

Damn, all this talk about the PSX Final Fantasy games makes me want to boot them all up again!

Not for a new person. It's confusing enough now for people that have been playing for years.

This entire post confuses me.
I actually agree with goh on that second point. Not sure what game he's showing off in the 2nd screenshot, but a lot of 16 bit era games stand up better graphically to me than something from the Xbox/PS2 generation. It's just the graphical style of the games used. I could probably play something like Chrono Trigger or Super Mario World 30 years from now and still be fine with how it looks, but if you take a dated game with 3D models from PSX, Dreamcast, or Xbox its going to look significantly worse.

It's Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer on PS3.
