Disgaea?

Anyone ever play these games?  If not, get em.  Now.  You might have to ebay em because number 1's kinda rare now.

The story revolves around the Demon Prince Laharl and his Vassals Etna, a scheming goth-esqe girl, and Flonne, an angelic love-freak. Laharl has been asleep for two years after his dad was killed, and has just been awakened by Etna.  He now has to take back his throne while fighting off the thousands of demons who want the title of king for themselves.  Did I mention you have a group of blue penguins with peg-legs and bat wings on your side that explode when you throw them and always say "Dood!"? They're the Prinny squad.

It's a cross between a turn based strategy and an RPG.  My description isn't the best, but I highly suggest you check it out.  It's addicting and fun.
