Weekend Gamer: What are you playing?

[Jetherik]

The holiday season upon us, it will consume our time as much as the games we will be playing. Since I am done with my shopping (except a few things from a website), I plan on playing more Gothic 3 (which I am loving). Which games will you be playing this weekend or will you be stuck shopping?

Also, don't forget to visit the "Weekend Gamer: What do you want?" (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?p=536511#post536511)on the forum pages to share your wish list.

[menage]

Viva PINATA!!!!!!!!! and some Gears and Oblivion probably.

[Mortis]

R6: Vegas, CoD3, and I guess I will have to finish the SP of F.E.A.R. so I can send it back to Gamefly.

[The Continental]

Cramming for finals, with bouts of ANNO 1701 (http://www.anno1701.com) sprinkled in. Damn you krauts and your daedal strategy games!

[Abednigo]

Zelda and maybe Excite Truck (if I can put down Zelda).

[CaptStu]

Is Viva Pinata that good?

I'm wanting to finish up COD3 or SC: DA.

[i aint yer pa]

Family will be in town, so I'll probably get some Lego Star Wars II co-op, maybe a little Gears co-op. And sweet, sweet Ouendan. Can't wait for Santa to bring me my copy of Elite Beat Agents.

I'll also be closely watching the USC/UCLA, hoping USC doesn't screw things up.

[NoName]

Wii sports with friends and Zelda!

[Talltale]

Zelda, and FF III

[Kelegacy]

I don't know. Started San Andreas again this week on the 360. I might run down to my cousin's game store and see if I can get a nice deal on a used 360 game or two.

[drakkarim]

i'm continuing nwn2, surprisingly fun game.

[Gorvi]

I'll hopefully be finishing up Final Fantasy XII, maybe get some FFXI in with the wife, and finally get back to Contact for a bit.

[NotJeff]

Gears (Co-op if I can find a buddy)
Ninja Gaiden Black
Maybe a trip to Best Buy followed by some Vegas...

[Mortis]

Is Viva Pinata that good?

I'm wanting to finish up COD3 or SC: DA.

Speaking of SC: DA, if anyone wants to do those co-op challenges let me know. I have never played any form of SC multi so I'm a total noob, also from what I gather it isn't really possible to do those solo.

[Jetherik]

i'm continuing nwn2, surprisingly fun game.

I am very hesitent on getting NWN2. Is it better than one, not as broken? And how is the ending - satisfying or not... I didn't finish NWN 1 because I got bored (if I remember correctly).

[drakkarim]

I am very hesitent on getting NWN2. Is it better than one, not as broken? And how is the ending - satisfying or not... I didn't finish NWN 1 because I got bored (if I remember correctly).

i just started act 2 last night, not sure how many acts there are.

so far its been fun. if you didn't like nwn1 then you probably won't care for nwn2. it feels exactly like the first game to me quite honestly. i don't see anything different other than fancier graphics.

not sure what they hell they were developing all this time.

anyway, i still like the game very much. but i still find the constant level/door loading to be quite annoying, i can't believe that they haven't bothered to get rid of that method. that's the stupidest thing about their whole engine. i like the story however, i'm playing on normal difficulty and my main char only died once so far (first time i ran into that whirling blades spell and wasn't paying attention) surprisingly though my henchies managed to kill the baddies by themselves and let me continue without losing any progress (without reloading i mean).

i loved nwn1 though, never had problems with it either. so ymmv

[EWolfmanD]

R6: Vegas, Viva Pinata, FFV Advance, and NWN2.

[Fubl]

probably r6: vegas, some more Gears , cod3, SMackdownvsraw for some down time, couple other games i have trying to get at least 200 acheivement points on my games.

[screwtape]

I finished Twilight Princess last night. What a great game. It met almost all my expectations, most of which bordered on the ridiculous.

I'll be taking my Wii up to a friend's house tonight for some Wii Sports action. Should be a good time. After that I'll work on Gears of War on insane mode, play a bit of R6: Vegas and farm some gold in WoW to get a bit closer to my epic mount. Hot damn, I love the weekend.

[Wadmaasi]

Gears and DOOM360 will get most of my time this weekend, probably. Also want to get out to see Casino Royale.

[King Drewsky]

Finishing up a rental, Marvel:UA.
Viva Pinata - need to send some ducks to all on my friends list
Robotron - cuz it rules
Lost Planet Demo - played a few games last night and need to play some more. Plus, this will be the only time I see snow this winter.

[mos]

Medieval II: Total War on very hard/very hard. Europe will soon be crushed beneath the might of the Reich! After that I'll restart as someone new, maybe the Byzantines or the Turks. I'll be looking forward to that terrifying day when I'm told the Timurids are massing for their invasion.

Probably some FFIII on the DS, too.

[Adam Blue]

I finally got my 260 back, so I'll be playing some catch-up. GoW, R6V, The Outfit, CoD2, and Nightfire(looks fantastic on the 360). And on the PC I'll be playing BF2142 and CoH. Now whether I actually get to playing these games, is a totally different matter.

[Doctor Setebos]

Wii Sports! And hopefully I pick up Zelda this weekend, too.

Viva la Wiivolution! :D

[Kamalot]

Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
Final Fantasy III (DS)
Wii Sports (Wii)

[Kamalot]

I finally got my 260 back, so I'll be playing some catch-up.
How much can I save by picking up a 260 instead of a 360? ;)

[Metal Jesus]

Call of Duty 3 (xbox 360) and SOCOM Fire Team Bravo 2 (PSP). I have to finish up these games cuz I'm

....looking forward to Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops next week!

[KIllrazor]

Got so many stuff to play... I need to learn and concentrate on one title until I'm done with it.

Never Winter Nights 2
Gothic 3
Dead Rising
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Gears of War (multiplayer)

[grandepolloloco]

After about a year and half I can confidently say I will NOT be playing world of warcraft this weekend.. the addiction must go.. I am thinking about picking up viva pinata as well.. is the game really as good as I've heard? I love silly games like that.

[Camel]

Is Viva Pinata that good?

I'm wanting to finish up COD3 or SC: DA.
I have played it more than Gears, and I love Gears. For my money, VP is my 360 game of the year.

As for this weekend, I'll think I'll play.....Final Fantasy Tactics. Or maybe Kingdom Hearts, even though so far I am really really really REALLY not liking it (the stupid spaceship parts, and the combat just isn't all that fun). I only paid 10 bucks for it though, so oh well.

[bean19]

Rainbow Six: Vegas - I usually hate tactical shooters, but Rainbow Six lets me sort of play sniper on a grand scale with my little minions that I use to flush out bad guys as if they were quail. Also it really delivers on all fronts with quality graphics, story, gameplay, and multiplayer. :)

[Kuya Cocoy]

I'm so sad that I haven't join the next-gen bandwagon yet, as seen by the games most of EvAv are about to play, but I don't regret it. Call me naive, but ps2-gen's graphics still... MOVE me.

I'm attempting to try 100%-ing Bully.. yeah I'm slow.. and playing Marvel:UA solo hero style. When you play it that way, why, it's 24-GAMES-in-ONE! ;)

[MJBuddy]

I'll probably shuffle through through Burnout: Revenger, Dead Rising, Gears and Oblivion.

[Rook34]

Viva Pinata!! My garden recently suffered a terrible loss, I lost 6 pinata in quick succession to a combination of Dastardos (due to 4 pinata's eating toadstool which I didn't know was poisinous), an evil Sour Crow, and 2 hunting pinata's, but I'm back up now.

Gears of War - I'm still trying to get good enough to at least kill 1 person a match..

Zelda. The effect of being a wolf is cool, but Okami beat them to the punch.

[OUX]

FFIII consumes me.

[Xaerin]

Tron 2.0 and maybe some Ultimate Alliance if my coursework eases up.

[Heretic Machine]

Probably some Zelda, Wii Sports, and Jedi Academy. I've got a lot of work to do though, so I don't expect to put too much time into any of them. Last night a tried an online game called Albatross18. It is a fantasy golf sim, but it suffers from most of the same crap that all online games from Asia suffer from: anything good has to be purchased with real money, and a lot of the player base are complete jack-asses.

In my first game, I was winning so the other guy left after he screwed up a putt on the third hole. In my second game, I found I was in a teams match (I was randomly invited). I still didn't really understand putting, and my partner was a complete ass to me the whole time. Didn't take long before I got tired of her abuse. So, I said fuck it, dropped out after the fourth hole, and uninstalled the game immediatly. I won't recommend it to anyone.

[Kamalot]

Call me naive, but ps2-gen's graphics still... MOVE me.
Just wait till you get a glimpse of what the Dreamcast can do! It'll blow your mind!! :eek:

Eh, for the next few months, a PS2 is all you need. You've still got Rogue Galaxy (easily my most anticipated game for any system that's been announced) and God of War 2 coming early next year. Not to mention Dawn of Mana, which may or may not be good, we'll see when it's released in Japan later this month.

[Rafer]

Zelda and Final Fantasy XII. Playing Zelda with composite cables kinda bites though.

[vistigris]

Final Fantasy XII. Want to put a lot of time into it this weekend before I have to start focusing on final exams.

[CapnBob]

Zelda. The effect of being a wolf is cool, but Okami beat them to the punch.

Congratulations! You've played like 2% of the game!

This weekend I will be finishing up my new flash animation and then devoting the rest of the time to Zelda.

[TheBrainKills]

I am on the final boss in Gears of War and I am stuck, fucking bastard, how the hell do I kill the guy?

After that I should get back into Dead Rising, Saints Row, and Splinter Cell.

[Orosco]

I don't know yet, finally getting a steady paycheck again (yay me!), so a trip to the store is due. BK Pocketbike Racer!

[Kamalot]

I am on the final boss in Gears of War and I am stuck, fucking bastard, how the hell do I kill the guy?
Have you tried shooting? Maybe using a gun would help.

[Camel]

Have you tried shooting? Maybe using a gun would help.
Well, the hard part, at least from what I experienced, was being able to tell if you actually hit the guy or not. I just kept shooting him in the face till he died, but I was just as surprised as RAAM himself when it happened. :D

[Wolvie]

Rainbow Six: Vegas, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Rainbow Six: Vegas, oh, and Rainbow Six: Vegas! Then some Gears, and then back to Rainbow Six: Vegas. :D

Then on the on the 6th, it's all about Star Trek Legacy baby!!!

[ldi222]

**** SPOILER FOR GOW SINGLE PLAYER BELOW ****

Im not going to give this away but a lot of my friends had the same problem. Stay out of the darkness...

[TheBrainKills]

Have you tried shooting? Maybe using a gun would help.
HaHa .... I completely unloaded all my ammo into the guy once and he just stood there mocking me.

[CapnBob]

Have you tried shooting? Maybe using a gun would help.

Or poke him with a soft pillow. You could probably kill him just by breathing on him too hard.

[Arilin]

FFXII here. About 45+ hours in, need to level up some more characters (The benchwarmer 3 are to low, to big a level difference). Hit some more marks, and then continue on with the plot! After that comes Zelda.

[mightbe]

WoW TCG
FFXII
R6V
grab ass

[BalekFekete]

Gears of War and Viva Pinata here, all based on whether the kids are awake or not. :)

[Worldcrafter]

I won't have a lot of time for gaming, but I'm hoping to check out Yoshi's Island DS and continue FFXII. Oh, and I'm going to continue my search for a Wii in the Michigan East Lansing area. Wish me luck! :p

[agentgray]

I'll be playing Shoveling the Driveway.

[EWolfmanD]

Heh. I'll be playing that game too. Hence my lack of time for gaming. I don't know where my priorities are! :rolleyes:

[solinari6]

I'll be reliving the glory years with Phantasy Star IV from the Sega Classics Collection.

[Crittias]

Viva Pinata. I can get my wife to play, which makes it GotY for me, for sure.

[dotbomb]

Wii: Zelda, Rayman
360: Fight Night Round 3

I finally found a neighbor that has a 360 so I swapped Dead Rising for Fight Night (loaner only). I got owned in my first 2 career fights. ugh.

[Ghostbear]

Gears of war multiplayer, Marvel Ultimate alliance, and probably Dawn of War:dark crusade :D

[Wolvie]

I'll be playing Shoveling the Driveway.

LMFAO! I hear ya buddy, I got a foot of snow dumped on my driveway last night. I guess I better get used to numb fingers and toes.

[Kamalot]

If you are going to go through the trouble of telling us about the game, at least list the goddamn platform!

[Kamalot]

I can't wait for this to show up on Virtual Console.

[Returner]

Oblivion Knights of the nine.
Zelda TP
Super monkey ball
Raving Rabbids
Gothic III maybe my PC runs it like crap

[Gorvi]

I can't wait for this to show up on Virtual Console.

Why would you waste $8 buying it on the VC when you could spend $20 on the Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2 and get 29 other games along with Phantasy Star IV?

[Returner]

Why would you waste $8 buying it on the VC when you could spend $20 on the Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2 and get 29 other games along with Phantasy Star IV?

So we can give our money to Nintendo sillyhead.

[t3kl3r]

Zelda, WiiSports (if friends drop by), and Mario Kart DS (multiplayer with siblings who all just recently got a DS and Mario Kart). Oh... and I rented Call of Duty 3 for Wii.

I sure hope developers try a bit harder on Wii graphics soon. I understand the focus on play control first and foremost, but so many of these games are not using the hardware at all. I know it's not going to compete with 360 or PS3, but it should be looking better than GC, not worse. COD3 seems like it's going to be fun, but the graphics are definitely a bit hard on the eyes. And Far Cry on the Wii looks like a N64 game. Uh... guys... if you can't do better than that we're just going to laugh at you.

Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 both "look" promising. These games are more along the lines of what I was expecting from the hardware. Can't wait to see what Capcom does with their next Resident Evil game on Wii.

[Voodoo]

I'll be playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Dead Rising, Saints Row yo hommies, Rush for Berlin and probably Oblivion. I'll be on the X360 tonight if anyone wants to hit up some multiplayer.

[Kyle Jones]

I'm still chunking my way through FFIII but I'll be taking numerous breaks for homework... Blech! Dead weeks a bitch. Also got Magic going down tonight and I might throw in a few rounds of Guilty Gear XX Slash.

[Spigot]

Family will be in town, so I'll probably get some Lego Star Wars II co-op, maybe a little Gears co-op. And sweet, sweet Ouendan. Can't wait for Santa to bring me my copy of Elite Beat Agents.
Ah, sweet Ouendan indeed. I'm sure you'll enjoy EBA but I don't know... I still find the way that the game plays out with the songs in EBA to be far less satisfying than in Ouendan. The rhythms just seem off, and I'm playing on Hard where there isn't as much empty space between notes.

I'm working this weekend so I'll probably just play a lot more FFV:Advance (like I've been doing every night at work) and read some more Squadron Supreme. When I do get a spare moment here at the homestead, I'll work on Splinter Cell: Double Agent for the Xbox. I finally got around to hooking my Xbox up to the HDTV and am quite happy with the results. Plus, Double Agent is shaping up to be yet another really fun Splinter Cell game. I don't know why I wasn't really looking forward to this game in the series, esp. given my previous love of all things Splinter Cell... Thankfully it's really, really good so far. I'm only just finishing the Prison level, so I'm near the beginning, but I like it so far.

I might work on FFXII a bit near the end of the weekend but I'd really like to try to finish up that Splinter Cell game in the next week so I can send it back to the rental guys and get something else. FFXII will have to wait until then.

I might also play some Uplink or Oblivion if the TV is being used by the family. I really need to restart Oblivion and try it as a melee type instead of my usual spellcaster. That game just sits there, taunting me every day.

[Spigot]

I'll be reliving the glory years with Phantasy Star IV from the Sega Classics Collection.
That's a great collection. I'll be saving myself quite a lot of money on Virtual Console titles with the crap-tonne of games available there.

[TheFlyingOrc]

I should finish Zelda this weekend! Yay!

[Kamalot]

Why would you waste $8 buying it on the VC when you could spend $20 on the Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2 and get 29 other games along with Phantasy Star IV?
I had no idea it existed prior to now. Thank you!

[Gorvi]

I had no idea it existed prior to now. Thank you!

You're welcome! The less money people waste on overpriced VC games the better!

[Kamalot]

You're welcome! The less money people waste on overpriced VC games the better!
I did buy Sonic to test out the whole shopping experience and I have to say, I'm very happy with the system, the playability and the faithfulness of the Virtual Console. I am NOT happy with the price.

I LOVE the convenience factor of flipping over to the Sonic channel and getting in a quick game.

Edit: Also for convenience, I keep all my consoles in a closet and use wireless controllers and switches to channel the image / sound from the systems to the projector and sound system. Every time I play the PS2, it means I have to get up and shuffle into the closet, power the damn thing on. With the 360 and Wii, I can turn on / off the system from my sofa.

That sucks.

[Esquilax1138]

Well finally got myself a new kick-ass PC so I'll be playing Oblivion, Company of Heroes, and some Battlefield 2142, with a little Lego Star Wars II if I find time.

Oblivion in 1600x1200 with everything maxed is just amazing :D

[Animated X]

In between working on 3D stuff in Maya and concept art for School, I will be trying to find some time to dedicate for Psyconauts!

I had been waiting it to go Bacwards Compatable before I picked it up, but then all the stores suddenly stopped carrying it, so I had to pick it up off ebay (I got a great deal, so no biggie). Now the only problem is finding time to play it. Any idea on how long it will take me to get through the game?

I will probably also play some multiplayer Gears, FFIII ds, and some Pocketbike Racer.

[wezlypipz]

Lunar silver Story Complete! BEST RPG EVER....at the time.

From what I have been hearing, most of your major retailers will have Wii's in stock Sunday morning.

[Gorvi]

Lunar silver Story Complete! BEST RPG EVER....at the time.

QFT! Damn, I miss Working Designs....

[EL CABONG]

EVE Online, COD 3, and maybe some GOW and Viva Pinata.

Zelda. Zelda Zelda Zelda. And maybe some Okami. But mostly Zelda.

I'm so sad that I haven't join the next-gen bandwagon yet, as seen by the games most of EvAv are about to play, but I don't regret it. Call me naive, but ps2-gen's graphics still... MOVE me.

You should get a Wii for your "next-gen" system then. *drum cue*

[AversionFX]

FF3, WoW, and maybe some 2142.

[bapenguin]

Finish Gears of War on Insane. Play some RB6: Vegas. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll find a Wii.

[Kefkataran]

Maybe if I'm lucky I'll find a Wii.

Ooh! Bii sure to let us know if you do!

Gears multiplayer.......... and a couple games of NFL 2k5 on Live on Sunday ...... Also can anyone comment on their Viva Pinata impressions ? ...... I picked it up for my 6 yr old for Xmas without even thinking i'd like it...... now I'm starting for think i'll be spending some time with it myself.

GamerTag : ZanderKeith

[flinxz]

Viva Pinata
Children of Mana

[Goronmon]

Lots of FFV: Advance.

Prolly try to finish up the last level in GoW on Insane...solo unless I get a helper.

Get back into EVE Online for a bit as well.

[Kelegacy]

I have to swing by Sam's Club after work, so if they have Call of Duty 2, like I saw a couple weeks ago, for 20 bucks for the 360, I'll grab it. Any other 360 titles on the cheap, too. If I see a Wii, I hope I have strength...

[Gorvi]

If I see a Wii, I hope I have strength...

That's my problem. I'll go on and on here about why the Wii isn't worth owning yet and there's still no games for at least six months. Then, of course, if I see one, I know I'll have a hard time not picking it up. It helps knowing that I'll pick one up eventually, just no need to get one now.

[Lekon]

Lesse. This weekend I have a slight breather in class work.
GoW Multiplayer (It consumes me.)
Zelda (Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!)
Summon Night: Sword Craft Story 2 (Blue screeeeeen of deeeeath!)

Oh, and watching the last season of 3rd rock from the sun.

[Kamalot]

It helps knowing that I'll pick one up eventually, just no need to get one now.Unless you plan waiting for a price drop, what's the harm in picking up one now? It isn't like it will be your ONLY game machine. When the titles you ARE interested in picking up come out, you can get'em right away.

Sell your Cube and make $30. Do you REALLY think there will be a price drop in 6 months? The thing is selling like gangbusters, getting OODLES of good press and the competition is WAY more expensive. Price drop won't come for a long time.

[shunoshi]

A whole mess of Wii goin' on this weekend. I'll be playing Zelda, Trauma Center, Wii Sports, Monkeyball, and Rayman. We'll have a full group of four finally and we'll be able to give Tennis a real try. I can't wait!!! :D

[Rafer]

FFXII here. About 45+ hours in, need to level up some more characters (The benchwarmer 3 are to low, to big a level difference). Hit some more marks, and then continue on with the plot! After that comes Zelda.

I've been reading that you don't really need to level up all the characters, but if you do it's good to put it off until you got some EXP doubling armlets.

[mikeohara]

gonna probably be playing R6: Vegas, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007, maybe some more Gears and start on Call of Duty 3. Also gonna try getting some more achievements in DOA4 and PGR3.

Nah, not at all. It's just money better spent elsewhere at the moment. I plan on picking up both a Wii and PS3 around Aprilish when the PS2 games finally dry up and they both have worthwhile games for them. As for right now, I've got more than enough to keep me busy.

I swear you work for Nintendo or own stock the way you shill them so. Nothing wrong with loving Nintendo, just that you seem to be the EvAv Nintendoid. That isn't an insult, just an observation. I see you make comments like, "It's good to see you enjoying such a great game (Zelda)," but you constantly overlook great games on other consoles (like Okami). Just a bit strange.

Oh, and the competition is also next-gen, in terms of graphics and games. The Wii is like a last-gen system selling at near next-gen prices. And it's current figurehead IS a last gen game with a new control scheme.

[Kelegacy]

This makes sense to me. Even if consoles never dropped in price, it isn't always prudent to buy them right away. Why? Like with my 360, I bought one game with it in March and proceeded to not touch it until middle of July and then August. After that it was November. If you buy a console when there are tons of games around, you are always content, you don't have to wait months for the next game release, and then wait again. Also, launch machines are notorious for being unreliable, or at least have the potential to be so.

Patience is a virtue. Good things come to those who wait. Gaming is no different.

[Camel]

The reason I don't want a Wii right now is because Smash Bros hasn't been released yet. If I can be called a fanboy of anything, it would be Smash Bros. Plus, a good reason to wait, even if the price isn't going to change, is that you'll save money on games. If I had a Wii right now, I'd pick up Zelda too, no doubt about it. Then, when the next great game came out, I'd probably get that too. By waiting though, by the time you do get a Wii, Zelda and plently of other games should be cheap! Then you can make a huge pile of games and beat none of them, like what I am doing with the PS2.

[ezzkmo]

Gears of War!

[Phanto]

i'm continuing nwn2, surprisingly fun game.

Argg :mad: I have the dammed game installed and I haven't played for a while I'm still in early stages of the game I can't play that game running like shit in my PC it drives me crazy :eek: .

Anyway I will be playing Zelda !!!!!, I'm thinking in installing PoP: Warrior Within & maybe KOTOR.

[deckard47]

Metroid Pinball, Meteos, maybe start Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced for the first time... That would require actual free time though.

[Kefkataran]

Oh, and the competition is also next-gen, in terms of graphics and games. The Wii is like a last-gen system selling at near next-gen prices. And it's current figurehead IS a last gen game with a new control scheme.

I really don't feel like any of this next-gen/last-gen dichotomy really applies as much as people want it to. Regardless of the fact that the PS2 is apparantly "last gen" and the PS1 is now retro, I still play PS1/PS2 games that feel perfectly modern.

I know that's not what you were saying, but I'm just playing around with how to say that better.

Zelda's so good. Man.

[shunoshi]

Metroid Pinball, Meteos, maybe start Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced for the first time... That would require actual free time though.

Wowsers, free time is an understatement in regards to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Good luck with that game; I quit at about 87 hours in.

[Kamalot]

Just got the Dragon Ball Z game for Wii from a rental service (GameFly). I haven't completed the training yet, but I'm lovin' it!

Never watched the show for an entire episode but this thing is great! It feels like a crazy, tripped-out Japanese superhero fighting game that crosses Virtual On and Power Stone! Once you start pulling off some of the advanced moves, and they DO get complex, you can't help but crack a grin. It is FUN! There is an awesome pace to the battle and the learning curve, while steep, shows off the depth of the engine.

My weekend plans changed.

[Evil Avnovice]

-Still Children of Mana (Having trouble with one of the bosses) (DS)
-Soul Blazer (PSP emulation)
-Lumines 2 (PSP)

If I can get that game out of my PSP, I could also give Every Extend Extra some playtime as well.

These Weekend Gamer threads always catch me off guard. :D

....maybe start Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced for the first time... That would require actual free time though.

The way the game is structured, you could try to do it a mission at a time. Maybe two or three jobs a day if you're pressed for time. You can play for the long haul, or just a little bit at a time (making sure to save every now and then). That's what I love about FF Tactics Advance.

Having completed the game myself (around 240 hours logged in), if you're not careful, you'll be hooked for quite some time. ;)

I picked up the Everquest 2 expansion "Echoes of Faydwer".
I'm surprised at how much this game has changed since its release.
Fun game.. kudos to Sony.

Like with my 360, I bought one game with it in March and proceeded to not touch it until middle of July and then August. After that it was November.Please explain how this is a bad thing?

I have a convertible. Sometimes it goes for months without having the top popped. Yet when a warm day unexpectedly rolls in on a weekend, it sure is nice to drive with the sky.

I just finished Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil on the PC and Dragon Quest Rocket Slime on the DS. Rocket Slime was OK. It had frequent boring and uninspired tank battles that dulled the action. Next up is Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 on the DS.

Yeah, it's actually very friendly that way. Just tinker away at it bit by bit and eventually you'll get to the end.

I still have all of the bonus missions to work on that you open up once you complete the game. One of these days I'll get to it. Thankfully I have FFV to keep me occupied instead. As much as I love FFTA (and it seems like I'm in the minority here on the boards) I don't tend to like going back to games that I have finished. I always feel like I'm wasting time that could be spent on new games!

Wii Sports and Excite Truck. I have Zelda but am waiting for my component cables to come in. Or maybe I should start it so I can compare the quality difference. Yeah! That's a great idea! Glad I thought of it!

*Edit* Jeez, looks like I need to update my EA Wii codes as well.

In case you haven't noticed Spigot :confused: , I'm in that minority as well. (for FFTA) ;)

And I hear you on the moving on to different games bit. Only I feel like I can never get a chance to replay some of the good titles that I've come across because I'm pressed for time, or there's always a game I need to finish, or run across a new one to play. :(
