Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Wait, did they fire Chris Roberts before finishing Freelancer? I never knew.

Freelancer was the first game I clocked over 500 hours on in online play. So many fond memories.

Edit: OK, read up on it. They absolutely did. I never new Chris Roberts was such a Chris Roberts all the way back in 1999.

Damn, me neither. Got a nice link for that read?

Yes Roberts has brilliant ideas, but terrible sense of scope.

In my honest opinion Star Citizen will never be done, and will eventually run out of money, not soon, but eventually.
