Assault Suits Valken: This is a damn good game. The best SNES action game I've played so far. I'm close to beating it.
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup: A roguelike that has a great interface (hover mouse over things to see info about them, oh boy) and an autoexplore (but not autofight) option that makes the initial few floors go by fast.
Also considering playing either Myst IV or picking up Yakuza 2 again.
Super Meat Boy
Singularity (just finished)
NFS:HP (is awesome, gtfo)
The boy and I just beat Justice League Heroes. What a chore that game is. "Let's make it so that players can't choose what characters they get to use for more than half the game, and then let's make it so the characters you aren't using don't get any experience so they're weak as fuck when people finally get to use them!" MUA was so much better.
Next up is LoTR Return of the King. We are having fun going through the older co op games.
I'll head back to Xenogears soon for Game Club but I have been playing Monster Hunter Tri and Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns. I have never put much time into the Monster Hunter series before but I decided to pick up the Tri+controller bundle. The beginning is pretty slow and boring and my initial impression is that it's still PSO with more depth but a lot less charm. I'll put more time into it before fully judging it.
The rail shooter pack is what I hoped it would be. Wiimotes are no substitute for those massive arcade guns but most of the gameplay is intact and gunning down blocky lego-men is still fun. I don't like how they added some new shit in the backgrounds. Keep that Sonic and Black Knight trash out of my Model 2 game please.
Halo Reach: It's becoming apparent that I'm going to keep playing this online until I can't.
NBA Jam: GotY in spite of atrocious match making.
Guwange: Probably not for long. I just can't get the hang of controlling the shikigami while weaving through bullets and maneuvering within the confines of stage walls. This game is just too manly for me.
Ridge Racer 7: I'm willing to stop when a better arcade racer comes along.
Chocobo's Dungeon (Wii): This game is infuriatingly close to being great. It's a better item storage system and a Retry option away from being a Torneko PSX calibur crawler. All flaws considered, it's still leagues beyond Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and both Izunas.
Still have Vanquish, Nier, Muramasa, and Sin & Punishment 2 to unwrap, too.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit came out already.Quote:

Also, still chipping away at Castlevania LoS. Warming up to it a little.
Finished Prime 2 and started Prime 3! It's really going nuts with making me pull and push shit, it's funny.
Don't tell me things like this, now I really want to play it.Quote:
