What are your favorite ten non-HM games? Mine, in no specific order, go like this:

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Super Mario Advance 4
Super Paper Mario
Mario Party 7
Mario Party 6
Mario Kart DS
Super Mario Advance 2
Mario Kart Wii
Mario Party 8
Cooking Mama 3: Shop and Chop!

I also currently am loving Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, but since I'm only in chapter 3, and playing for the first time it, it doesn't exactly count. But it is so much fun! :heart:

not a numbered list because I don't like those. If a game listed has upgrades or remakes, assume I'm including them too when I mention it because I can't be arsed to pick out one specific incarnation.

Xenogears
Xenosaga Episode III (though I adore the entire trilogy, the 3rd ep is my favorite of them)
Xenoblade
Chrono Trigger
Persona 3
Final Fantasy IX
Pokemon 2nd gen (G/S/HG/SS idc what it's called)
Seiken Densetsu 3
Harukanaru toki no naka de 3 -my top guilty pleasure-
Final fantasy vii

There are a lot of games I love so I guess it's hard to pick. There are a lot of platformers I have tons of fun with, like Super Mario World, and I love puzzle games, but RPGs are what I get most attached to. All I know is the Xeno- games, CT, P3 are definitely in my top 10... even if Blade technically isn't related to Gears and Saga, it's still super awesome.

I still need to play LoM. I've been wanting it for so many years, like seriously >.<

Hakuouki Demon of the Fleeting Blossom
Okami
Suikoden V
Lego Harry Potter 1-7

This list was really hard for me to come up with XD I don't play a lot other than Harvest Moon/Rune Factory and many of the games on my list I don't really get a chance to play anymore...which makes me a little sad panda. I love lots of games though, so trying to narrow it down to only ten was really difficult. But uhm, rambling aside, here's my list:

Suikoden I
Suikoden V
999
Dragon Age: Origins
Mass Effect 2
Baldurs Gate II: Shadows of Amn
Morrowind
Romance of the Three Kingdoms X
FFVI
Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana

@cinnamon_yuki: Yeee! Another Suikoden lover. HIGHFIVE. And you like the same ones as me! Happy day! :D

Edit: Apparently I can't count :X

Hmm I'd say

Persona 4
Persona 3
Persona 3 Portable
Persona 3 FES
Persona 2
Persona (Persona, Persona, Persona, Persona, Persona. . .)
Catherine
Bioshock
Fatal Frame
Pokemon
Yu-Gi-Oh

and that's all I can come up with.
I also just finished watching P4A and I is sad :C

I couldn't come up with any other games xD
Besides, you have to buy them separately so i'm counting them as being separate~

I forgot to put Viva Pinata and Legend of Zelda on there but really I'm to lazy to even play video games anymore xD

well Actually not really, since I'm playing Persona 4 again to waste another 105 hours of my life waiting for the new HM~
mostly cause I love Adachi and Kanji :heart:

haha, ducki, such an atlus fan! you should play radiant historia. it's really good.

fin, LoM is on the PSN. you have no excuses! (well, other than the lack of a PSN-equipped device...)

catherine might make it to my list. or ghost trick. or one of the old spyro games. idk.
again, going to or want to cosplay from two of those... trisha and the odd girl, what a strange combination...

i don't get the obsession with avalon code. it was alright, but not really that amazing. i liked the gimmick, and i guess i can understand the fun of the dating sim aspects, but it was really repetitive and hard to figure out, not the mention the story not being that great. (it was also a lot shorter than i expected...) i probably have a lower opinion of it than i would if i had played it a year ago, though, since i played it right after doing my second playthrough of RH, which is all kinds of amazing. :heart:

It's rare to see a fellow Suikoden fan. :D

I might add Suikoden II, Persona 4 and Radiant Historia in my list (but I barely even started yet in Radiant Historia and Suikoden II and I'm having a hard time locating Persona 4) so most probably Lego Harry Potter and Avalon Code might get booted out in my list.

I'm currently focusing on my review so I can only play 2-4 hours a day. During those 2-4 hours, I use them to play HM ToTT. C:

In no particular order (at least after FFIX, because that one is probably my top favorite) and also some are grouped because I tend to think of games through their stories, so if a sequel or something is part of the story that I like... lumped together.

Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy VII
Nier
Okage: Shadow King
Kingdom Hearts (Series in general)
Mass Effect (Series in general)
Valkyria Chronicles
The World Ends With You
Pokemon (Yellow, HeartGold, Ruby/Sapphire) (Pokemon is some what connected ;_;)
Tomb Raider (Series in general (AGAIN)

Okami
Earthbound
Shadow of the colossus

Fixed lol.

Sonic CD is the best Sonic game out there so it's not weird 8D

In no particular order...

Legend of Mana
Terranigma
Chrono Trigger
ALL GROWLANSER GAMES FOREVER
Okage Shadow King
Final Fantasy IX and FFT/Lion War(I always put these two together because I can't pick so what lol)
Suikoden IV
Legend of Dragoon
Ephemeral Fantasia
Valkyria Chronicles

I wouldn't call it my definative top ten list as some tend to sneak in and kick the others down.
But for sure LoM, Terranigma, CT and anything Growlanser.

I almost put Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana myself. In fact ones that go in and out of my top tend are Morrowind, Dragon Age, Legend of Zelda Links Awakening and Majora's Mask, Azure Dreams, Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage, FFIV-VI, the Dot Hack series, the Arc the Lad series, Illusion of Gaia and Soul Blazer(Terranigma is part of this trilogy so it's no suprise), Dark Cloud(I prefer the first over the second), Dual Hearts, all the other Suikoden games, Star Ocean(the first one), Persona 1, Pokemon Sapphire and so on and so forth.

You know Nina I'm cursed. I'm really cursed.
I still haven't found a copy of Radiant Historia. Well that's fine I got the first four seasons of Sailor Moon online(and going to get the last and the movies as well lol /nerd), I'll get Radiant Historia dangit!

Ushi No Tane - Harvest Moon
