NHL 11 and only NHL 11 until the new Call of Dookie comes out.
Alpha Protocol - I would have been disappointed at full price; the combat is broken (pistol FTW), the stealth elements are random, and it's not a great story. But I'm having a blast being a total arrogant dick to everyone I come into contact with and befriending a sociopath. Fifteen bucks was definitely the right price for this.
Halo Reach - Finished everything to do with the campaign but still having fun playing online with friends.
Bought Red Dead Redemption. I'm not a fan of GTA, but I was willing to give the change in setting a chance. Wow, the writing and story is shitty and the action is leaden. How many millions of dollars did they spend on this and they can't hire real storytellers? It seems like it was written by fratboys who happen to know a lot about Westerns.
I understand why this is popular-- the sense of time and place is amazing, just like GTA4, but it is not good. Doesn't really succeed as a fun game or a good movie.
I just finished the 3do version of Wing Commander 3, such a great game. Shame that I can't manually nuke Kilrah in this version.
While I have the 3do out I've been playing a little SSF2 Turbo since I made a 3do cable for my stick, but I'm not sure what larger game I want to start now.
I don't think that's fair. The "do I care about where this story is going?" factor kinda falls off a cliff once you get a few missions deep into that Seth/Irish/Dickens milarkey, yeah, but the dialogue and characterization is great throughout.
As far as the gameplay goes, it's a big improvement over GTA and that's as much as you should have reasonably expected.
Finally got a PS3 and have been playing through MGS4. Looking at getting Lost Planet 2 as I am really enjoying the hell out of the demos.
Avatar the Game: I got this cheap a while back and figured I'd play it while I'm waiting for Fallout: New Vegas and Rock Band 3. It's solid, though the jumping is a bit off, and the character slips off ledges sometimes, but it's actually pretty fun.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: I beat this when it came out, but I never played as a pro-registration team. Time to whore some achievements!
New Super Mario Bros Wii: At world 7, but it's pissing me off. Seems like a difficulty spike since earlier in the game. I'll beat it little by little.
Sonic 4 (XBLA): I HAD to play this, though now I wish it were cheaper. I'll finish it, but it's kind of like eating a meal you don't really like but paid a lot for. You're not just going to walk away, right?
Game Room: Jackal comes out next Wednesday, and I have exactly 240 points left!
Razor would ask SEGA to pay for half.Quote:

SMT: Strange Journey DS (still)
