A while back there was a kinda cool game for the PS2 called Dark Cloud. You basicly were running around dungeons and killing things and rebuilding cities. It was pretty fun, though it wasn't perfect. Just a week or two ago Dark Cloud 2 came out. Currently this game owns my soul. It's like an rpg with a whole bunch of other things. You learn to invent new things to use, you go fishing, you get to transform into various monsters, you can breed your fish, you rebuild villages. There's just so much there. If you are a PS2 owner and liked the first game at all, or are looking for something interesting to try out I highly recommend it.

From the review from over at GamesDomain.com.

Dark Cloud 2 is also responsible for one of those all-too-rare gaming moments you just never forget. You know the ones. Things like your last rookie taking out all the aliens in X-Com, the thing jumping through the window in Alone in the Dark, the opening sequence of Half-Life, when you first stayed up all night because Civilization was so good, stuff like that.
