Avengers Alliance

So lately I've been playing this Facebook game Avengers Alliance. It's a turn-based RPG feature everyones' favourite Marvel characters. It's really fun and addictive, except, since it's a Facebook game, it's all micro-transaction based. Heavily so! There's tons of commodities in the game that they want you to spend real world money on just so you can keep playing. It's a real pain when you're half way through a mission and you run out of energy and you have to wait a few hours for it to refill. I know they want to make money off this, but come on! At least let me just play the game. The more you make me stop playing, the more likely I am to not come back.

But other than that it's really fun. If this were a real retail game without all the micro-transaction BS, like say a downloadable game on XBLA or eShop, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I play it on Playdom's website, not actually Facebook itself. Because you know, it's annoying as hell when you get all those game invites and help requests on FB.

Also if anyone's thinking of playing, use the codes: BIGGUN and 5000SILVER. BIGGUN grants you Colson's Revenge, an awesome BFG. And 5000SILVER gives you, obviously 5000 silver and an Iso gun, also very useful.

BTW, does anyone know of any other great turn-based RPGs I should try? This my first time playing one, other than Pokemon and Xenoblade Chronicles. I used to love Pokemon but it's been forever since I've played it. I think I've missed the past 2 or 3 generations. And Xenoblade I just found tedious, boring, and frustrating as hell. So any suggestions? Something similarly to Avengers Alliance would be good. Likable characters. Engaging story. Though with Avengers I don't really read the story. It's more like, "Who am I fighting now? Ah! It's Sandman! Cool! Oh, now it's Dr Doom! Wow! It's Magneto!". And less random battles and grinding would be good too.

Well it doesn't have to be a current gen game. Actually, anything that's relatively cheap that I can buy off the Virtual Console, XBL, or PSN, or pick up at reduced bin at WalMart or EB Games would be preferable. I've been thinking of a few. Chrono Trigger is one of those games I've heard is awesome, but I never played. Likewise, I've never played any of the Final Fantasy games. Honestly, a lot of turn-based RPGs I haven't played. I'm more of an action RPG kind of guy.

Also, I might wait and get Pokemon Black 2 or White 2. I've heard it's a good jumping back on point for the franchise.
