Due to some serious off topic-ness in the guildwars thread (sorry about that) I thought I'd start a general gaming thread for all your recommendations etc

Zelda is the greatest game ever. I have A Link To The Past on my SNES (yes I still have one of those!) and after what, 10 years or so, it's still fun! Now that I have a Wii I've been playing Twilight Princess a sinful amount. Since the Wii can play Gamecube games too, I want to get all the other ones too :D

Computer wise, at the moment I'm into playing WoW and Batman Lego.

I don't think I ever played it but if he does get one I'll keep an eye out for it :D

I almost bought sonic unleashed for my husband for his bday but it has really really bad reviews and I had sonic and the secret rings on the wii which is horrible, it started off great but the controls were just soooo annoying that we gave up, put it to one side and I traded it in yesterday so I'm not holding out much hope for the new one. I opted for mirror's edge instead of sonic, we downloaded the demo the other day and loved it so I went out and traded a few games and got it for £15, he's gonna have such a great bday :D

dungeon master was like a really early simple RPG type game. you had 4 characters in your group and you could train them up to do differnt things - ie wizard, healer, warrior - and you had to battle different baddies whilst going through mazes and stuff...picking up spells and powers and things like that.

the graphics look really simple by todays standards but we used to love playing it!!!

Hey, I thought you were a mario girl? :P

I've heard it's had bad reviews too, but from what I've heard it sounds like a return to form, if anything - people are complaining that it's so fast, you can't see what the hell is going on.. well that's what I loved the most about the original Sonic, so I'm thinking I'll like it :)
