*Throws toaster against a wall!*
GAH! I borrowed my friend's Gamecube so that I could finally play Twilight Princess, and wouldn't you know it, the game's too damned scratched up to be read! :cry:
Oh well. I've got Soul Calibur II, Wind Waker and Viewtiful Joe to drown my sorrows in.

Somehow I like older games, mainly because they run extremely well on my computer. Granted, my graphics card is perhaps the limiting factor to my gaming, but I'm kind of scared to replace it because I don't really know how to open up my CPU.
I'm hooked on Protector IV right now when I should be studying for my A-levels. It's a flash tower defense game, and I'm playing for the badges. 8 hours sunk into the game so far, and that is quite a lot of time for a flash game.
Just finished Fatal Frame III (PS2) tonight... I had really mixed thoughts through the first half or so of the game, but the second half really came together. Thinking about it, I'm not sure where I rank it compared to the first two. Definitely above the second, despite having some flaws that the second didn't have. The first... was a classic. But the amazingness of the third game's plot might just leave me remembering it the most fondly at the end of the day. Definitely the best survival-horror series out there... I just wish that four had been released in the States. Dang it, Nintendo! (Or whoever was responsible for not bringing it over.) Fatal Frame IV would have been a hardcore game for a mature audience on the Wii years ago when we maybe had No More Heroes and virtually nothing else.

Well ATM, I'm playing Castlevania: Harmony of Despair on the 360. It's a pretty fun game with alot of replay value with amazing multiplayer if you get into a good lobby or playing with a couple of your buddies.

Well, Re: Chain on Memories was in the wrapper for far too long... so I finally cracked it open and got to playing today. I've played through the original's Sora Storyline... and seeing it come-to-life in beautiful, PS2 graphics is totally making me wanna cry, guys.
On the other hand, battles are alot more chaotic. Well, Boss Battles, at least. CoM's battles were easy... a bit too easy... but the Ps2 version's battles are a tad... annoying is the right word. Not difficult... just... annoying.
ESPECIALLY THE FIGHT WITH JAFAR. You're frikkin' chasing Iago around the battlefield, and suddenly, Jafar's like "TIME TO RAISE THE ONE YOU'RE ABOUT TO STEP ON" or "TIME TO LOWER THE ONE YOU'RE STANDING ON, SO THAT YOU CAN'T REACH MY FRIKKIN' BIRD!"
Fighting the members of Organization XIII in Castle Oblivion in full-3D is pretty awesome, though. That, and having them have spoken lines in this game is pretty cool.

I've been on a terrible/amazing Legend of Mana kick. :) Aaaaaaaaand when I have time (which.. is rare.. very rare) I kick it with Saga Frontier. But most of my forays into SF are more debugging and analysis than actual playing, hence.. tiring..

Picked up a copy of Chrono Trigger DS the other day. I've been meaning to grab it for a while now... let's see if I actually finish it in a decent amount of time :P

So, I downloaded the trial scott pilgrim game expecting to hate it but due to boredom tried it anyway.
And wow is it addictive.. I bought the whole game then stayed up to 7 AM finishing it *twitches* Visuals are great, love the soundtrack..the actual fighting can be a bit hit and miss, but is generally good. I just need to actually play it on co-op now.

Just got my new computer so I can play games again ^_^
Started with Mass Effect. Still have Bioshock 2, Borderlands, and a bunch of other stuff from previous steam sales.
Also been playing Trackmania nations. Its fun, but not sure if its worth upgrading to the paid version as wikipedia says a new version is comming out next year. Would probably pick it up on sale though.

ME and ME2 is one of the best stories and worlds envisioned in many years on a video game.
Currently I'm playing Bioshock and I'm in the second chapter (The fish area). It's an alright game, I haven't seen why it was marked GoTY over the original Mass Effect though.
What game I really have been wanting to play though is Lunar Silver Star Story Complete. I played the Advanced Game, and it was good, but I felt it was a diced up version of the original so I would love to get my hands on it.
I'm steadily approaching the "end" of SoulSilver. I'm not sure if I'll have Elite Four version 2 be my end point or the battle with Red.
I've finally started up a new console game. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (GCN). My brother picked it up for me last Christmas. It's been ages since I've played (and stuck with) a TBS RPG. Shining Force is the only one I can remember (along with its remake a few years ago). Couldn't get myself into Final Fantasy Tactics for whatever reason. Anyway, I'm hoping some Anarchy inspiration comes out of this. Double-movement is interesting for mounted units, and so is the mounted "rescue" command. Shove still seems pretty basic, but maybe it'll surprise me and have some serious usage later.

Healers usually have low Con, Shattered. That's one use for Shove. :P
Anyway, I'm done with FFXIII for now, and FFX is on standby at the Calm Lands... Going to backtrack as much as possible (Probably read: Thunder Plains) and rack up some arena rewards...
