Outrun 2 is head and shoulders above any other version. Almost looks as good as the XBLA port, plays better (imo), and the way the content is handled is much better than C2C. It does suffer a little slow down on the 360 though, which is a shame.

Chibi Robo: Park Patrol- Always thought the GC Chibi Robo got by on quirky NPCs and scale of it's surroundings...which wouldn't translate to a DS rev. Shockingly it's pretty fun. The graphics are decent, touch controls are acceptable, and the entire thing is disturbingly upbeat.
Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume-Credit Tri-Ace for trying something different but the whole flow of the game bugs me, seems like you rely too much on group attacks.
We should probably move onto a winter thread, but anyway...
Two UE3 RPGs
I'm playing The Last Remnant thanks to the $10 Steam deal. It's pretty good. The plot seems like a big bag of stupid so far but the combat system is really interesting and complex. I'm also replaying Mass Effect on PC. I want to finish both a Renegade run and a redone Paragon by the time the sequel comes out.
The Club
A brief discussion about this game on #tnl a day or so ago inspired me to pull it out again. I'm once again addicted to its unique blend of complex scoring and third-person shooting.
You know what I am not playing? Castlevania the Fucking WiiVaporWare Adventure.
Playing way too much Torchlight, and Street Fighter 4.
About to start Mass Effect on 360.
Also MGS Portable Ops - So far not digging it :(
I'm still playing Spirit Tracks and Little King's Story but besides that I'm on a bit of stealth kick. I played a few levels into Velvet Assassin. I like it but it's a lot like Wii Tenchu in that it's very methodical and linear. There's so little margin for error, make a simple false move and your dead. It reminded me that I own Thief: Deadly Shadows which is a superior and less cruel stealth game. I wasn't happy with the way it ran on my previous PC so I had been saving playing through it. Finally, I can enjoy it properly.
I'm having fun in Red Faction Guerilla. Hacking shit with an axe and destroying billboards is fun!
GOW Collection is also getting some playtime, and I need to finish Uncharted 2 (!).
Since vacation started, I'm thinking of finally getting around to finishing Lost Odyssey or starting Tales of Vesperia.
