I should probably declare a bias here. I loved the original Fable game. Even with it failing to live up to developer Peter Molyneux's hype, it was the game I bought my X-Box for, having played it for a brief hour at a friend's house and fallen in love with the epic story and free roaming universe.
It's often the simplest games that prove the most fiendishly entertaining, and the DS seems to specialise in these kind of games - not graphics-heavy necessarily but just addictive.
Rapala Fishing Frenzy (XBox 360)
You'd think that if you were a keen angler nothing would replace heading out to the lake for a restful few hours waiting for something to twitch on the end of your line. But this game actually makes for a fun alternative - and you needn't even brave the cold.
When I think about big ships I'm thinking cruises. I'm thinking yachts. I'm thinking lounging about in a swimming costume reading a book. Suffice to say I don't think I'm the target market for Ship Simulator. However, on a wander round the office I couldn't find anyone else who was either.
Some things are never as good as you remember them being. Like Wagon Wheels (they're a bit sickly actually), long childhood summers (not actually that hot, and actually quite boring) and games which left you obsessed back in the day but actually if you replay them haven't aged well. The worry would be that Star Ocean falls into that category.
