What I Thought Was A Good Game: Chrono Cross (PS). I can't say enough good things about this game. The story is great, the battle system is original, and the replay value is as high as its predecessor, Chrono Trigger (SNES). allot of people hated this game because it wasn't exactly like Chrono Trigger, but they just never gave it a chance (I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers). If you want a good solid RPG, play Chrono Cross (but play Chrono Trigger first, or you won't understand allot of the story).

What I Thought Was A Bad Game: Shadowman (N64). While the graphics in this game are good for the N64, the game as a whole is just sad. The audio is sub par to say the least; sounds that come from enemies are louder than anything else, and when there are multiple baddies on screen, the sound distorts and sounds as if it is damaging the speakers on your TV (although it would probably be more effective with surround sound). The single biggest problem with Shadowman however is the controls. To say that they are jerky and unresponsive is to say that Marcel Marceau is a little quiet. They are so bad that it makes the game frustrating to play.
