Gerbilcannon, relatively thats like saying you're favorite food is whatever is cooked right and you're eating at the time.
You have to have one that you prefer over the other, if you're playing Legacy of Kain at this very moment is that your favorite game? Especially when you can compare it to Castlevania: SOTN? I'm thinkin the answer is no, I've just started coming to these boards again since about 6 months ago, and I haven't seen a similar post so far. Maybe I missed it? *shrugs*
Now if you're talkin favorites, I have multiple favorites. And its really hard to narrow down into one. But the few games that keep me comin back, and can keep me comin back are Castlevania: SOTN, Final Fantasy Tacitcs (darn background map WORK!!!), Chrono Cross, & Ape Escape. (yes just like food multiple favorites are possible, its damn near impossible to only have one favorite food, favorite type maybe, same for games, RPG's would have to be my fav genre).
