I'm currently playing this game on the PSP. While definitely not the best monster hunter out there, I feel that this game is at least worth giving a shot for any monster hunter fan out there. This game (and it's PS2 counterparts) are what built monster hunter as we know it today. This is a Monster Hunter game that brings way more of an emphasis on gathering, preparing and actually living in the world, instead of just going to one monster after another mindlessly. Having to worry about your limited storage, money and items really shape a unique story and gameplay experience for everyone trying it out. If you are looking for a slow burning game, that makes you sit down and plan out your strategy for each monster, as well as figure out your resources and how to make use of them for hours at a time, preparing yourself for the next big monster you must take down to proceed, I highly recommend it to those who are patient, and I wish that we can see this amazing piece of history in the monster hunter franchise be slightly modernized and easily-accessible.
I loved this game, it just felt special, the atmosphere was just so nice, the tranquility of Kokoto village, it's npcs tha from just noises yelled charisma, the feel of going on a Sunday walk through a mountain when going to a recollection quest in Verdant Hills, and some amazing fights like Velociprey and Iodrome

Mega Man Legends 3 Project
Mega Man Legends 3 ProjectMega Man Legends 3, known as Rockman DASH 3 in Japan, was a video game set to be the sequel to Mega Man Legends 2 and the fourth game in the Mega Man Legends series. It was announced for the Nintendo 3DS on September 29, 2010, during a Nintendo press conference for the 3DS. The game was to be directed by Masakuza Eguchi, with Tatsuya Kitabayashi acting as producer. Reo Uratani composed the game's music. Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version, known (roughly) as "Rockman DASH 3: The Prologue! Showing you the Game's Underbelly Version" in Japan, was an early version of the game that would be available for download in the Nintendo 3DS's eShop. The prototype would have feature playable segments as Barrett and ten missions. It was originally planned to be available upon the launch of the 3DS eShop on June 6, but it was delayed to be improved. Initially, it was said by Capcom that if the Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype Version does not do well upon its release in the eShop, Mega Man Legends 3 may be cancelled, but the Prototype Version was cancelled along with the main game. On July 18, 2011, a message was posted in the Devroom announcing the discontinuation of the project. The reason for the cancellation was that "it was not felt that the Mega Man Legends 3 project met the required criteria". No further explanation was given, and the Japanese Devroom was closed on August 19.

Lords of Magic
Lords of MagicIn the fantasy world known as Urak, supporters of eight different religions constantly fight each other. One of them is Balkoth, known as the Lord of Death, who worships the dark deity Golgoth. Balkoth has sworn to destroy all other faiths in the name of his own god. The other lords have to expand their ranks and defend themselves against the mad zealot. Lords of Magic is a strategy game that combines turn-based exploration and resource management with real-time combat. The player can choose to control any of the lords who oppose Balkoth. Each nation (faith) commanded by a lord has its own specific units. Before engaging in an offensive, the player must liberate a Great Temple for the faith of his/her choice. It is also necessary to build a stronghold, develop the nation's capital city, and recruit troops. The troops are led by a champion, representing the "hero" of the game. This hero can be either a warrior, a thief, or a mage, possessing the classical advantages and disadvantages of these classes: the warrior is good in close combat, the thief can sabotage enemy armies, and the physically weak mage can cast devastating spells. The isometric combat proceeds in real-time, with an option to simply calculate the result of a battle immediately, depending on the participants' statistics.
