GlitchHiker probably won't make the jump from indie darling to mainstream hit, but there's a good reason for that: It can never be played again.

"Man, did I sink hours into the original FFT back when it was released on the Playstation -- I was 13 and had all the time in the world.
Still, I think some battles can get a bit long for a quick session -- that or I sucked at playing the game.
I recently picked up FFT Grimoire of the Rift for the DS, but the extremely kiddie atmosphere kind of turned off of it pretty quickly -- I might give it another shot sometime, though.
I'm not much of an RPG fan (Western of Eastern) but I can totally vouch for the original FFT being one of the best games to ever hit the Playstation , regardless of genre."

"I actually find Metacritic quite useful as a review warehouse of sorts. It provides you with the links to the complete versions of each of the Critic reviews it aggregates so you don't have to go around Googling "___________ review." It's all there for the reading. The Metascore (despite being its flagship feature) is actually the least important thing it provides.
By the way, Mega64 made a pretty funny video about this same topic :

"@James- Man, that Deus- Ex:HR trailer is something else, isn't it? When I finished watching it for the first time, I couldn't help but wish it wasn't advertising for a game, but the trailer for a full on CG animated mini-series."

"I'll throw in The Bememoth (two awesome games under their belt and another one coming). I'll also side with Greg on Bizarre Creations, they seem to be quite versatile. Racing games, arena shooters, third person shooters, they do it all!"

It's so interesting, It sort of gets me to think that, sometimes, if you give people a chance to do something good, they'll actually do it and won't be a bunch of jerks and just pay 20 cents for the bundle. It's pretty cool to see these guys take a chance on the potential of people to do some good."
