Good evening folks. I just finished Dragon Quest VIII after about four months of extremely-solid-followed-by-not-at-all-ohshitthat'srightineedtofinishthatgame play. It is probably my favourite game at the moment, and destined to remain there for some time, as I've always been a Dragon Quest fanboy, ever since Dragon Quest II came out here in the states (the first one hardly counted). I'm not totally done with it, to be honest, as there is a very large optional part that I'm left with, in order to get the true ending. Which is quite a thought, as the first ending was probably half an hour long. But, I promised a certain girl I would finish this game, so I could send it to her, and we could trade. She'll be sending me FFXII. Not to be confused with FFX2. That would also be acceptable, however.
So, until that arrives, which probably won't be for weeks, since I won't be shipping this off til the weekend, I am in need of a new PS2 game. Bear in mind that I only got my PS2 in October, so I missed an asshatful of games in the past few years. The PS2 games I have played are…. just about nothing, really. Final Fantasy X and X-2, Dragon Quest VIII, and…. Leisure Suit Larry. I think that's about it, actually.
I am looking at Shadow of the Colossus, because I think the design is brillyunt, but I am wondering if it won't frustrate me. Mayhaps not, as it gets really good reviews, so it can't be too bad in any area. Rogue Galaxy is also another possibility. That's done by the same team as DQ8, even, but I think it would require more huge time commitment, and I'm not very good at that. The Katamari games I must pick up at some point. Uh, aside from that, I have no clue. Bully looked kinda good? I think?
So, dovkafans, help a brotha out. Give me good suggestions for something to pass the time in the meantime until my darling sends me some love in the shape of a Final Fantasy. I'd even be up for a driving game or something. No sports games, though, please. RPGs are a help, but I may not get to them til later.
Thanks in advance. Also, Final Fantasy VI Advance on Monday in North America wooooo.

We love comments at dovka. In fact, we take these comments and put them into a big stew. They're so full of internetty goodness that they keep us full up until lunchtime.
However I believe you will enjoy Shadow of the Colossus too.
I think you should try the Disgaea games. I think they are up your (gin) alley
Disgaea does seem my type of game, but I've heard they take literally hundreds of hours. Which would be good, if it's the type of hundreds that you can come and go from. Dark Cloud is a poosibility. Same team that did Dragon Quest VIII!! (Must be good.)
Right now I have a Sony VAIO VGN-FS840w and a Dell Dimension 5150. I'm wanting to condense these two machines into a single notebook. The Alienware seems to fit the bill but then the Sony also has a lot to offer. I'm not sure which machine I should really be looking at.
1. Sony doesn't view computers as "computers" but rather consumer electronics and therefore does not allow much in the way of upgrading outside of the usual processor, memory, hard-drive and peripheral upgrade scheme.
2. The VGN-FS840w is a reasonable machine but it's heavily underpowered for working in VS.NET and running VMWare as well as having a poorly powered video card.
Long to short, though. What I'm wanting to do is get a notebook that will essentially be a desktop replacement. Everything I'd do at home (browsing, development, gaming) I want to cram into this machine. I looked at the Alienware for the reason of having a machine that could be upgraded extensively. I looked at the Vaio because I've had a good experience with my sony notebook in the past, plus their systems tend to be slimmer than their competitors. Can you make any suggestions where else I may need to be looking?
