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 :(

A really old game called Fat Princess - it was a wonderful multiplayer real time strategy kind of thing, with a beautiful community for quite a few years. Despite the name, it was one of the best games I've ever played!

If you were on there and recognise my screen name, yes it is me!

That game looked great, it annoyed me it was a PS exclusive.

It really was, way more than the sum of its parts. It also had one of the nicest communities, for an online game there was very little bad behaviour and the devs and other employees would be around from time to time to play, too!

Played the PSP version, never had the chance to play online, but I could see how it'd be great chaotic fun with multiplayer matches
