[up] Is The World Ends With You among the 100 DS Games? As far as 3DS games go I am not sure if there are that many good strategy games out on yet *googles* nope .

By "mentally challenging" do you mean puzzle games or just non-action games that aren't piss easy?

[up] Thanks for the info on that one, I'll look for it at my local retailer.. What I meant by mentally challenging are the ones that either have an multitude of puzzles that could leave you stumped for an while (like The Legend of Zelda series for example) or the game that requires you to think about the enemy before you even make your first move to avoid any mishaps ( seen in the Fire Emblem series and Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds Over the Nexus, but the A.I. has it's flaws in that latter and it can be abused if you know how) So it would be both in this case.

I need a freeware FPS for low spec PCs. A few freeware doujin FPSes that I got from Vector are laggy for reasons unknown.

I can run Team Fortress 2 on a computer with an Intel Integrated Graphics card.

But TF 2 and source games are more CPU intensive than graphic card intensive, but it is also an engine from 2006 so any computer that is at high specs from 2006 should run it.

[up]&[up][up]That is an online game that requires steam and an active internet connection, right? That game itself sounds solid, but I need a single player game at this point. Having unstable and laggy internet connection doesn't help either.

You can play TF 2 in practice mode against bots, though it's usually enjoyed multiplayer.

So I'm fetching up a 3DS soon and I was wondering, what are some good games for the system?

Fire Emblem Awakening , Pokemon X And Y, Bravely Default and Devil Survivor Overclocked are widely considered Killer-Apps.

Don't forget Shin Megami Tensei IV! It's great if you want an RPG with lots of grinding and questing.

If I may suggest one thing in regards to the Nintendo eShop, it's to check out the ratings of downloadable games outside of the eShop, because some of the games I've bought aren't rated that highly abroad... *cough Witch and Hero cough*

I urge you to check out Kid Icarus: Uprising. I'm a lefty, I find the controls somewhat uncomfortable after 45 minutes or so, but I had a blast with it and I still play it every now and then.

Can someone please recommend a good thief/stealth game? Basically I'm looking for a game that has you play a thief/rogue that's not, well, Thief (played them already). As much stealth and as little combat as possible, please.

Throwing out a recommendation for a cool indie 3D puzzle game with destructible environments called Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers. It's on PC, and its poor title has made it suffer in the sales department. It's a bit short, but the style is great, music is fantastic, and there's enough ways to solve the puzzles that it doesn't get boring.

Out of the loop, out of the way.

murazrai: You might want to give Nintendo Nightmare a try. It's an FPS, and it tends to run well on low specs P Cs. Just not windows 8. XD

I can buy inFamous 1 or Dead Island and I really can't decide which one to get.

I'd go with inFAMOUS. It's one of my favorite games. But that's just me.

I have just started playing Ghost Trick for iPhone. Can anyone recommend anything similar? (Not counting the Ace Attorney games, which I hearwere not very well ported.)

#1522: Jul 9th 2014 at 4:48:31 AM

[up] Yes; Saints Row IV is definitely worth at least a rent, if not an outright purchase. (Your Budget May Vary)

I love videogames, yet I can honestly say this is the first game I've played that felt like pure fun in a long, long time. The gameplay is fun, the abilities/weapons are awesome and ridiculous without making the world seem like it's made of cardbord or that your upgrades break the game, and the story is funny while not taking itself seriously while still being engaging enough that you want to see what happens next.

Keep in mind, as reference, I also enjoy games like Fallout New Vegas and TF 2, I usually play JRP Gs, and I really find GTA boring. Just as context.
