I LOVED Dark Legacy in the arcades. Me and 3 of my friends played it til we beat it multiple times all standin in an actual arcade. I never did like the consoles versions tho =/
I believe they just consoled it up for home use, all it really is is an expansion to Legends. They I believe added the crystals to force a linearity to the levels and added the hubworld that wasn't present in the arcade version. Playing Legends arcade version, Dark Legacy in arcades I remember feeling exactly the same.

Double Dragon Trilogy on the new Galaxy Note I just got. They actually did a really good job with this one: slowdown removed from the first 2 games, bluetooth controller support, some insightful (but short) history on each of the games, and the option to switch between the official soundtrack music and the original BGM. Only 3 bucks, too. Seems like there was a lot of care put into this one, especially for a cheap mobile game.

Now if Million Corp would only make a BRAND NEW Double Dragon game...I'd die happy.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

Just beat Telltale's The Wolf Among Us and it was pretty great. Not much in the way of actual gameplay of course, but a good story with lots of moral ambiguity and meaty-feeling decisions. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who, like me, enjoyed Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid. It is pretty short though, so I'd also recommend waiting for a steam sale.

I've only played Double Dragon Neon. I thought it was super fun. I had a blast with it.

I'm playing all the X games in order (including RMIX) lately. Does anybody know any special "technique" to beating Jet Stingray's stage in RMX4?

I recently got into Borderlands. I can't wait to dig into Borderlands 2 since it has this;

Ass Creed 1, 2 and Brotherhood on the mobile phone. The controls are not that good, is it me or my old java phone...?
The sprites look nice though.

Art of Fighting 2, with it's crushing CPU AI. Woo boy winning is a chore, and something I didn't do often in it.

Sloughing through the first "Breath of Fire". It's not a bad game really it's just nothing special. Especially since the music is pretty repetitive and the inventory system is a mess. By all accounts the 2nd game is a lot better except for the awful official translation.

Just finished Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, and it was nowhere near as bad as people made it out to be. I really like the main trio (Emil, Marta, Tenebrae), and the character development between the three is fantastic. Biggest downside about the game, though, would be the short runtime (approx. 30 hours, compared to Symphonia's 40 or Abyss' 60) and the fact that my list of Top 5 Worst Tales characters comes from this game (Decus, Alice, Brute, Hawk, Alba).

Gonna finish up Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll now, which is an incredible action RPG.

The music is pretty great though:
Breath of Fire - Overworld Theme - Breath of Fire

Alan and Cerl Forever - Sad Melody - Breath of Fire

Yeah the music isn't bad. It's just that there's not enough of it. I'd get sick of any set of 3 or 4 songs after hearing them over and over for 12+ hours. So I've mostly taken to listening to my Pandora radio stations for the latest several play sessions. Admittedly the game has picked up a lot since I got Bleu in the party, she's such a fun character. And I wouldn't describe anything in the game as "bad" except maybe the aformentioned inventory system which is really just sloppy. But you can mostly forget by dumping everything in a bank.

I should probably mention that I'm playing this right on the heels of Secret of Mana (which had masterful art and music direction) and Soul Blazer (which had a more unique story) so that probably contributes to my feeling of BoF being good but mediocre.
