    Yeah yah do, the guy that you get the PDA from actually resembles him, face wise.

    yeah and you get his special pistol or whatever.

    I still need to play Mass Effect but Rock Band just owns my soul.

    Beat Army of Two over the weekend, fun co-op but I couldn't really see it as a fun single player game, too bug and I shudder to think what your AI teammate is like.

    Popped in the Simpsons game the other night, and still play that from time to time. So much better than the last 10 years of that show. Definitely just a puzzle platformer but it brings back old memories of the first few seasons. How that show got so bad I don't know.

    FF8 was to me as bad as FF7 was a glorious piece of art. Really entirely disappointed by it.

    Alright, I have no idea how I''ve managed to wait this long to finally pick Psychonauts on Steam and give it a go.

    So right now, I'm playing Psychonauts. There are a few things that irk me, but it's a masterpiece of story telling (Erik Wolpaw again shines) and humor. Exquisitely twisted level design, that really is sometimes begging for some more straight forward design.

    What is wrong with me... picked up Metroid Prime: Corruption and Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection today (MGS 1, 2, and 3). On the lookout for the first two Metroid Primes. Also ordered Silent Hill 1, 2, and 3. I did beat Condemned 2 tonight though.

    Just got my new PC which means that I'll be playing a lot of UT3, WorldInConflict and Supreme Commander And best of all, two weeks vacation

    worth picking up or no?

    It's probably the best DS game I've played so far, (keep in mind I haven't played a ton). It's really close to the console NG games too, even with the stylus. You pull off all of your moves, except block, with just the gestures so it's pretty specific with what it wants you to do, just scribbling on screen won't produce very good results (at least with the tougher enemies). Not saying you couldn't fluke your way through a few areas, but generally you're going to need to use all the moves at your disposal when they mix up the enemy types.

    Also it looks really great, Ryu's animations are pretty slick, and even the music had be humming after I finished (no joke). So yeah, definitely worth it in my opinion, though I've only played the first 2 chapters and a bit. I hear it's short, but I could totally see myself going through it again on the harder difficulty.

    - Wii Bowling when I need to brainstorm crazy ideas

    - 360 Rainbow 6 Vegas 2. I loved the first R6Vegas. So far I'm liking this one too, though it certainly doesn't reinvent shooter games. Still...it's fun

    - Tried some 360 Frontlines:Fuel of War. I like it. Don't love it. Like it.

    - Guitar Hero II/III and Rock Band just cause.

    - Still play some WoW from time to time to help my guild run through Kara, mainly to help the nuggets or help my cousin lvl up his shadow priest but other than that the i'm thinking of sitting out till the expansion...or not. :roll:

    Too much work to do to really play anything in depth...want to play more!!!
