    Since my PC is out of action gone back to 360 and started Mirrors Edge. So far seems ok if not a little frustrating at times.

    It's a really fun game once you get into the flow of the controls, but you haven't known frustration until you try the Speed Run and Time Trials.

    ^ Done 4 chapters so far and its ok with some annoyances. I probably won't bother with speed runs & time trials because I don't want to smash my controller into the wall and then release the hounds of hell upon the world :devil:

    1.) Xenogears
    2.) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
    3.) Pokemon SoulSilver
    4.) Star Trek: Birth of the Federation
    5.) Final Fantasy VI Advance

    I tend to get shuffled into multiple games at a time.

    Finished Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne the other day, and FF: Tactics Advance 2 a while before that. The ending to Tactics A2 was about the worst FF ending I've seen so far. Now I'm going to have to get back on LoZ: Spirit Tracks and work on that stupid fire temple song.

    EDIT: Oh, I'm also working on TES: Morrowind, walking in almost complete circles around my destination without even realizing it's there.

    Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Advance 2 were neither written nor directed by Yasumi Matsuno, the guru behind the terrifically-written Final Fantasy Tactics.

    ^ Nice avatar.

    I just finished A Final Unity, and in between games right now. Thinking about either Civ IV or Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. Hmm...

    Saint's Row 2 is so much fun! I've just discovered I can go to the airport, hop in a plane, fly to my location, and then skyjump out of the plane and parachute to safety! And the controls handle really well, so much better than GTA4 did which I found very clunky.

    I beat Modern Warfare 2 earlier today. After that I started playing Just Cause 2 which has been a lot of fun so far.

    Yes, but the original Tactics Advance was a masterpiece in terms of storytelling. Tactics A2 wasn't that bad until they decided to replace actual dialog with indistinct word bubbles filled with gibberish.

    Our weekly gaming group has switched back to Exalted after having played Eclipse Phase for the past year.

    While waiting for some Venom batteries for the 360 (since you can't seem to get official ones on their own) to arrive from Amazon, it's been back to the Cube for some favourite Rainbow Six 3 and Lockdown missions.

    I remembered that I still had my Smash Brothers Melee disc and fired up my Wii for some action last night.

    I am replaying the original Unreal single-player. Twelve years later the graphics still look good to me. A lot of people think this game is boring, but I think it has great atmosphere and music.

    I have also started playing Elemental: War of Magic. It is a new 4x game from Stardock. The learning curve was a bit steep and first, but I am starting to have a lot of fun now that I am getting the hang of it.

    ^ People who fail to appreciate the original Unreal should have their Gaming licenses revoked.

    Going to play some more skate. this weekend. There's another uneven learning curve for ya. Can be pretty steep in places, but it makes your successes more rewarding.

    I finally finished Bioshock (I started it ~year ago but for some reason stopped after around half a game) and started Bioshock 2. Is it just me or the second one is much harder that the first?

    Are you using the same difficulty setting? You may have a point. I played Bioshock on easy and I died like once the entire game. With 2, I don't know how many times I died, but I was constantly out of good ammo and desperate to find an Ammo Bandito.
