Any of these games worth getting?

Really? I knew it was different, but I didn't know if it was bad. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: And if you're looking for another handheld game, get Rune Factory 3. One of the best, if not the best, for the DS. It's a shame it didn't get much attention.

What exactly is Rune Factory anyways? I'd like to hear what you have to say, if you think it's that good.

Ah man, really? Well I still plan on playing them in order anyways.

I have the Game of the Year Edition:

It's Harvest Moon but with RPG elements and way more content. You manage your farm, go on quests for the townsfolk, beat up monsters, craft a shitton of items, romance bitches, and tame blood-thirsty beasts. There is a skill that levels up for literally everything you do in the game including walking and sleeping, so you can really play it anyway you want. There is a main quest-line and some things aren't available until a certain point in the plot, but that comes pretty early.

Three is the best in the series. One and two are decent games but they have a lot problems like inventory quirkiness that three fixes. The console Rune Factory games are a bit more focused on combat instead of your farm, so some people don't like them as much. All games are self-contained stories so you can play any one you like first and not miss anything.

Yeah, the one with the falling shapes.

And I also aced at the button mashing ones like Take a Breather, Slime Time and the domino one.

I'm just that spastic.

Heh, I never knew much about that spin-off, but now it does seem kinda interesting. I might check it out someday

You are going to LOVE the sequel to Ace Attorney. And I promise you it is more difficult. For me, the storyline and the character development are what really make the game in this series, and if the same is true for you, then you won't be disappointed.

And by sequel you mean Justice for All and not Miles Edgewoth: Investigations like I mentioned in my quote you quoted, correct?

Speaking of ME:I can I play that one at any time as stand alone game (since it's name suggests it's a spin-off) or should I still stick with my plan of playing them in order of release date?

Yes, I meant Justice for All when I mentioned the sequel to Ace Attorney.

Having not played Miles Edgeworth: Investigations, I cannot provide any input as to the order you should play the games in. Personally, I'd probably try to stick to the main storyline as I'm sure there may be some character background development that would make the spin-off more enjoyable. But that's just my opinion. Enjoy them!

While Justice for All is one of the harder games in the series, it's not quite as good as some of the others.

Chronologically, the games go: Ace Attorney - Justice For All - Trials and Tribulations - Investigations - Apollo Justice

Ah so I have the 4th game in the series, not the 5th. Thanks Yoshi.

Update on Borderlands: I'm loving every second of it. I began level-grinding until I was level 10. I killed Nine-Toes in one melee hit. Needless to say my friend and I got a kick out of that, right now I'm level 13 and trying to reach level 15 or 20 by the time I get to the second boss.

Just like Poke'mon, I love to level up in groups of 5. I don't why, but I guess that helps keep track of where my team is at; even though I don't have a team on Borderlands.

I do have a couple of questions, but it's late tonight so I'll tell you guys tomorrow.

What is the game Borderlands, anyway? The way you described it, it sounds very intriguing.
