"Must Play" Games

[Sinewav]

My parents asked me to put together a Christmas wish list of stuff under $100. I couldn't think of anything. Then I thought, "VIDEO GAMES!" Except I've been kinda out of the gaming loop for a while and I have no idea what's good and what's not. So I figger'd I'd head on over to find out what my pals at good ol' OverClocked had to suggest.

I pretty much like everything (except for sports games) as long as it's well made, though I tend to prefer action-adventure games and anything with a strong storyline. I've discovered the addictiveness of KOTOR, Seiken Densetsu 3, and other "multi-path"/"replayable" type-games lately, and I've been trying to get into RPGs (though I haven't found one truly worthy of my time since the SNES, barring KOTOR.) I'm not really a hardcore gamer, so if a game isn't totally-wicked-awesome, chances are I'll never finish it.

Systems I own: GBC, GBA, DS, NES, Super NES, GameCube, Wii, PS2, XBOX, Crappy laptop that can run games from '02 at moderate resolution. (Should I consider putting some older used systems on my list?)

Yeah, just saw that. Weird. I searched the forums for a thread like that before I posted, and I got nothing.

Mods, feel free to lock/delete.
