An oldie but a goodie, Final Fantasy VII was an RPG (Replaying Game) made back in 1997.
It revolves around a young man named Cloud Strife who basically works as a sword for hire after leaving the employ of a massive corporation named Shinra as one of their elite warriors "Soldier".
As the story unfolds you gradually learn about Cloud as he himself figures out the truth in his past. Along the way he meets up with friends both old and new who accompany him on his way to finding the truth about his past and eventually saving the world.
The game has a solid storyline which draws you in though due to his memory issues Cloud can be seen as a bit insensitive and cold. The game has hours and hours of playability and its replayability is great because there are so many things to discover that the you miss the first time around. The graphics in the game are very dated but heck, the game is massive and for 1997 it ain't half bad.
Recently a movie based after the games events was released, Final Fantasy VII : Advents Children. The movie has stunning CGI and even if you haven't played the game it is still quite watchable with great fight scenes and great characters.
I give this game a big 10/10 because it was the game that brought me into the RPG category. I recommend it to any gamer even though you will need to track it down. It is on PlayStation only but thankfully it is compatible on all their consoles.
