From Wirebot: One of my favorite game series of all times has definitely got to be the Xenosaga trilogy for the Sony Playstation 2. Originally slated to be a six-game series, the number of installments was halved due to somewhat poor reception of the second game. All in all, though, this RPG series is definitely one worth playing. Find out why I think so… More »
