*Yawn*, what games are you playing during this industry hibernation?

I'm back to Halo, trying to get past the 2nd level on Legendary.

I actually just completed Halo on the regular level yesterday. After that, I tried starting over on Legendary. I'm uhh, you know, still stuck on the first level...

I guess now I'm gonna get back into Max Payne in between my Madden franchise.

pretty much just FF X. I'm 21 hours into it now. I really disliked this game at first but I'm glad I stuck with it as now I'm really liking it.

I finally got around to picking up Fallout two-pack over the weekend, and I'm loving the game.

Just recently finished another run through Super Metroid (hadn't played it in over a year). Now I'm getting back into SSB:M to rack up more trophies.

playing SSX tricky, Pikmin, and NBS Courtside right now, and I still have to earn all the golds in RL.

I'm actually not that dissapointed in the "hibernation" as you put it. it gives me time to enjoy the quality titles that i have, and get the most out of them.

that being said. i can't wait until march

I'm actually glad for this lull in game releases because I have absolutely no time to play games this semester. Between working 20-30 hrs a week, and being a full time student with classes and homework, I'm swamped. At least I graduate in May.

At any rate, I've played a little Super Smash Bros: Melee and some Super Monkey Ball with my fiance, but that's it since classes resumed on the 14th.

Just wait.. it only gets better.... what part are you currently at?

Without giving too much away, as I assume you figured out you have to pretty much go to each temple.. I just left Bevelle.... Damn.. that was some awesome gameplay and cinematics there.....

No One Lives Forever, on the PC. I just bought Medal of Honor: AA the other day but I haven't installed it yet.

Working my way through GTAIII, with a little Tony Hawk 3 on the side. And Twisted Metal: Black when I get a chance.

Restarting ICO, since I never finished it. A little Civ3 on the side.

Feb. 5th means State of Emergency is out (next game from the GTAIII folks, in much the same vein). Yee-hah!

If only Morrowind would finally be released, I'd be in happy land.

Spoiler:
i'm at the part when you're on the airship fighting that big dragon/worm thing
It's a great game. To think I was close to selling it when I wasn't liking it after I was about 10 hours into it. I agree on Ace Combat 4 too. Great game. I'm replaying it for the fourth time now.

I'm playing a lot of Crazy Taxi and Donkey Kong Country 2. Just the other day, I finished going through Super Mario World again for the first time in years. I also plan on starting Final Fantasy 8 soon, which I got as a gift but haven't played much yet.
