I've only played the GBA original and the 3DS one, so it looks like I made the right choice, albeit accidentally.  The term 'grindfest' suits the game, but doesn't apply to my thoughts on it.  The idea of grinding in traditional RPGs bores me to tears (it's been fifteen years since my last one), but the battles in FE don't fall into the bracket of grinding when I'm playing them.  The battles are the fun part, everything else is window dressing I could do without.  The cut-scenes are top drawer though, I didn't skip any anime bits.

I prefer the FE games that don't have grinding, like the DS one and the first GBA one. They effectively make you choose a party from the options available and stick with it, because there's not enough XP to go around for everyone. In fact, maximising XP by getting lower level characters to finish off enemies is one of the more interesting tactical considerations (all FE games give you a high level character to use from the start, but the trick is not to use him). I find the random battles in the Sacred Stones spoiled that a lot.

Okay. Just compiled everyones lists into a spreadsheet and will used Hylians scoring system from F1 which makes sense. I'll only do this based on consoles with 5 or more top tens other wise its not worth it.

So far have:
6 SNES (lists)
5 MD
5 PS1
4 N64
3 SAT, GC
2 Speccy, GBA, NES, Amiga,MS,
1 PS2, PSP, Wii, C64, DS
0 Atari, PC Engine, Jaguar, Gameboy, Amstrad CPC, MEGA CD, Game Gear, Virtual Boy

I've still got a few lists in me so I'll add these when I get a chance.

Kirin regular is bettar tbh:

Has a lot of depth to it.

Is that not as good as non regular Kirin? (I may have double negatived my self up there)

Not a fan of lager - doubt I could list 10 - but I do enjoy a Tyskie from my stein, and I enjoyed some bottles of lucky buddha beer I got a some time ago. 

Lowenbrau when I can get it and bottles of Amstel too. Hmm.. Maybe I do like lager after all. Haven't had Sapporo in a long time but I do remember enjoying it.

And when I'm in an Indian a Cobra or Kingfisher are hard to resist.

 Had some great stuff when I was in Belgian micro-brewery bar which I can't remember the name of (the beer or the bar!)

This was easily the toughest list to compile, there are at least five other exclusives I'm itching to mention.

I thought the sonic advance games were nasty. But, then again, I'm not the biggest sonic fan. Other than that, looks solid. If it were my list I'd get Metroid Fusion up near the top, but it's all personal taste, innit.

I quite liked the first two Advance games, certainly more so than Rush, wasn't too keen on that despite the positive reviews.  Advance 2 had a running battle thing going on for bosses that I liked.  In hindsight Ninja Cop should've made 10 on my list.  Or Iridion 2.  Or Drill Dozer.  Or the sumptuous Double Dragon update.  Or TNMT. 

I've only played an hour of Fusion so I couldn't consider it.

I need to finish Super first, but I do own the cart (Fusion).  I fancy Zero Mission more though, that's a more straightforward run and gun right?  Didn't finish Prime either, only put 5 hours in.  It's on the bucket list.

Can't put my finger on it really.  If we were talking scores, there are definitely more 10s and 9s in my Xbox and GC lists (not completed the GC one yet, struggling with that towards the bottom too).  Monkey Ball is a 10.  Halo probably is.  Stranger's Wrath and Gaiden are straight 9s, as is Prime based on my time with it and the general hubbub.  Amped is possibly a 9 for me too, I played that for a ridiculous amount of time with custom soundtracks.  Once you get past the top 4 on my PS2 list they're games I have no particular fondness for, I just liked them (although not enough to get more than 12-14hrs into Okami).  Pro Evo was superb, lead format was PS2 for me but it was multiplat by the time it really hit its stride.  After no.2 my PS2 list is all 8s or 7s.
