Let's face it ladies and gentleman, times are changing and games are becoming more evolved by the microsecond. But hey everyone loves to relive their childhood once in a while with the games that were awesome back in the day and are actually stillawesome now. But hey not everyone has the cash to fork over 50 bucks for a used sega genesis and copy of sonic the hedgehog 2, that actually isn't even guaranteed to work. What if I told you, you could go out and fork over a measly 12-18 bucks for a collection of 16 sonic games that you could playon your current gen systems. You'd say hallelujah because this is the truth my friends. With times flying by people want to experience those old games they whooped their friends in oh so many years ago and the video game companies have done something incredibly smart and started releasing thingssuch as compilation packages including anywhere from 4-20 different games in a certain series. Now this my friends is, SMART, we need to see more of this. Ifthe re-released Mario All-Stars and included some of Mario's N64 outings, there would be pani on the streets over the greatest thing to happen to video games since the power glove....... That was just a little joke. But back to the point, compilations are awesome, they have a ton of games, usually include updated graphics and features, and probably cost less than the one original title from the collection. My personal favorites are the Sonic and Mega Man compilations, but hey lets face it not everyone likes these two franchises, personallyI love them but you know what, "To Each His Own That's What I Always Say." But, what needs to happen now, is we need some more compilations, maybe even for the portables, I know for a fact that the DS or PSP could handle The Mega Man Anniversery Set or Sonic Collection Plus flawlessly. So why not? That's a great qustion. People want more bang for their buck and occasionally the game companies screw up and actually give is that satisfaction. Do yourselves a favor, take an old game franchise you love go into some forums or something and make a post stating how cool a collection of all the so-and-so games would be. Get tons of posts. Create a new world order and get your compilation because as gamers some times you just dont want to shell out hard earned cash for a half-broken SNES and cracked in half donkey kong country cartridge. Game On!

5.Dragon Quest 8- With artwork by Akira Toriyama, a go anywhere you want map system, and classic battle modes this game is definitely a winner.

4.Kingdom Hearts 2. The sequel to the immensley popular fusion of Square and Disney proved to be more than a sequel but more like a brand new chapter in the series with new drive forms, an enhanced battle system, a darker and more complex story, and finally answering alot of the questions from the first Kingdom Hearts.

3.Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars- If someone, before this came out, told you Mario would star in an RPG and it would be fantastic you would call them nuts but apparently leveling up and equiping your favorite mario characters along with some fresh faces would one day become the third best RPG of all time.

2.Final Fantasy X- If you're looking for a RPG with an amazing story, amazing voice-acting, immense and exciting battle systems, rich and complex skill grids to maximize your characters performance to your liking,and one of the best videogame soundtracks you'll ever, THAN LOOK NO FURTHER because this is it. But what could possibly claim our number 1 spot?

1.Earthbound- A cult classic whose prequel and sequel never even saw that light of day in America at our number 1 spot. Of course. Even with 16 bit graphics thisgame pushed the SNES's limits with crazy lave limp esque backgrounds in battles, nutty characters, and enemies such as the "Mole Playing Rough" and the "Annoying Old Party Man", this game proves that a game good enough can stand the test of time and go for over $100 on ebay or amazon. Highly addicting gameplay and an amazing story make this a winner for anyone who wants a classic 16 bit style RPG that takes chancesand does something'scrazy but comes out on top as the number 1 rpg of all time.

5.Bowser. Chances are in a Mario game when something goes wrong, this dude is fully behind it. Exceptions occur like in Super Mario RPG for the SNES.

4.Sephiroth- Any gamer knows what this guy did that put him on this list. P.S. Cloud will be speaking at Aeris's wake tommorrow starting at 2pm. And no Sephy, you're NOT invited.

3.Megaman's Enemies- If it weren't for thesefools there wouldnt be so many Mega Man games. THINK ABOUT IT

2.Ganondorf- In you're beautiful copy of TwilightPrincess who's the big ugly dude behind everything?........... EXACTLY!

1.Ares- Even though only making one appearance in God of War he's done the most diabolical thing any villian could do, putting the rest of these guys on the list to shame. Making Kratos kill his wife and daughter was the OMG WTF? moment of gaming. Even Sephiroth couldn't believe it.
