This is actually the only game I've done (or plan to do) more than one guide
for I did another Djinn Location FAQ but I'm not sure where it went. I'm just
getting started on these guide thingies, and they're actually pretty fun to
do once you've overcome the whole procrastination thing. I'm not seein' any
walkthroughs in the future. I just can't type 100kb of raw meaty text. I just
can't.

Title: Golden Sun (2001)
Developer: Camelot Software Planning
Producer: Nintendo
Platform: GBA
In all, the best new RPG for the GBA, and it's one of my favorites as well.
It's damn near impossible to put down until you beat it. And if you liked the
first one, the second one's bigger and badder.
+ One of the most bug free games I've played, even better than Square-Enix's
in that department. Plus, the battle graphics are so cool you'll piss your
pants and squeal with delight.
- I can't think of any cons for the game, other than the fact that this game
was just too big for the tiny GBA cartridges and had to be split in half.
And I hate walking everywhere you need to go.
