Samor playing a RPG???
The only RPG I expected him to lay his hands on is an RPG with which he can blast a hole in the office of Square-Enix...

And otherwise I would've guessed his best RPG scene would be Aeris' death.... Since it broke so many RPG fans' hearts

no.
I was categorising 'best circuit' into
1) environment
2) driveability

it would be unfair to include RL tracks like Monza

Samor playing a RPG???

SD Snatcher...is from Konami, modern day setting and is nothing like the usual RPG.
Chrono Trigger is, but as I said I never finished it.

How about another category: game manuals?
I cast my vote for Blizzard manuals. Chris Metzen and Samwise Didier are two amazing artists.

Laguna Seca in GT3.

ah, laguna seca is a great circuit, but it's a real life one, also featured in many other games, and equally well modelled (if not better (thinking Papy games)).
