You are stranded on a desert island, pick 8 games. If it is an online game you can play it, but you can not communicate with anyone aside from direct game related context.
My Picks
1. Harvest Moon Back to Nature
2. Persona 4
3. Final Fantasy Tactics
4. Bravely Default
5. Turtles in Time
6. Castlevania Symphony of the Night
7. Saints Row 3
8. Artificial Academy 2
