Just finished Katamari Damacy. Very good game but way to short. Yes, you could go back and better your katamari size on some boards but to me that is boring. I did just read that there is a sequal in the making.

I now am going to finish Prince of Persia 2. I'm at the very end I think. Must beat this before moving on to RE4.

I have finally finished POP warrior within. The game got a little better in the end but for someone who saves all his favorite games, I can tell you I will be getting rid of this one. While POP the sands of time is still one of my all time favorites, this one, IMO really screwed the pooch. I basically finished it to say I beat it. Anyway, on to bigger and better things, Resident Evil 4. What are your thoughts on this game?( Just kidding, I know it's an amazing game and have been reading the thread on it. I can't wait to dive in!!!)

I'm playing Paper Mario 2 on Gamecube at the moment. It may look childish but its a great game IMO, and genuinely funny
I'm playing Viewtiful Joe (the first one), still havent finished that. In fact I havent finished any of the games I have yet.

I didn't finish Arc: TotS either. It wasn't bad, just wasnt' appealing enough for me to keep playing.
Just finished Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal last night, at about 18 hours. It was somewhat anticlimactic, I only had to do the final fight 2 or 3 times. I'm not sure if UYA is 'easier' than the first two, or if I just have gotten better. Still fun though, and i started a replay to max out the weapons to level 8 and try to pick up trophics/titanium bolts/skill points.
UYA's difficulty was very well balanced, I believe. I maxed out most of the weapons to level 5 with no problem, and not really trying to focus on any of them, they are different and useful enough that i used most of them [probably the QwackORay least, however]. I also got more of the Titanium bolts by myself than in either of the previous games, and about 6 trophies without really trying.
I need to continue either Growlanser or Nocturne, and try to finish one of them before Digital Devil Saga comes out [probably Growlanser, although then I'd have GIII to play.]
I got about three levels into Katamari Damacy before getting bored.

Recently finished up San Andreas on the PS2 and Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube. I'm also pretty burned out on ESPN College Hoops 2K5 after completing my 12th season in legacy mode. I also finished Feel the Magic on the DS.

I'm now playing Wario Ware Touched on the DS. Very fun game but probably a bit too easy. It has some replay value though so it will be a nice time killer. I'm still playing Mario 64 DS as well, but now that I'm over a 100 stars I'm really getting tired of it.

Looking forward to Fight Night Round 2 and Wario Ware Twisted next month.

I'm almost finished Lord of the Rings: The Third Age but am losing interest. I haven't finished a game since Super Mario Brothers....

I might have to get back into Fable KOTOR2 again. Open to suggestions.

I actually thought the story and characters were good but the gameplay mechanics (and overall presentation) let it down a bit. I'm actually up to the last boss but he's destroyed me twice now and it's getting hard to work up the motivation for repeated tries .

Why don't we keep this thread alive? Anyways...

I'm currently playing (or will be once I go pick it up this afternoon) X-Men Legends 2. So damn excited for this.

I also started Paper Mario about 2 months ago, but haven't had much time to play games since then, so I'm going to pick this back up.

Just finished:
Ratchet & Clank: Up your Arsenal ( I am a really big fan of these games, pure platforming fun, and I actually laughed quite a bit at some of the jokes. Qwark is one of my favorite characters.)

XIII (decent FPS, great voice acting)

Now Playing
Warcraft III :Frozen Throne - It has been a while since my multiplayer obsession with the original Warcraft 3, so I am going through the Singler player FT campaign.

Bloodrayne 2 - Almost a guilty pleasure, there are some parts of this game that are just terrible (the worst voice acting ever, enemies stuck running into walls/obstacles), but I still keep playing

Burnout 3 - 2 races left

Leisure Suit Larry MCL- The game is just plain silly, but I keep playing.

Killzone - Pretty impressive graphics, but so far it seems pretty standard for a FPS.

Just finished: Paper Mario 2 on the GC. Finished Warioware on the GBA before that.

Now playing:

Mario Baseball. Don't know how much more I'll play though, got old fast.
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat- Simply a blast need to get back into it.

Warioware Twisted. Just occasionally, not really that motivated to get all the medals in the spindex after just getting all the medals in the original.

Up Next:

Have a few unplayed games, namely KOTOR2 and Ratchet and Clank 2. Will probably end up buying and playing the Castlevania DS game next though.

Recently Finished:
Fire Emblem 2 GBA - Story was weaker than 1, and exp treadmill mostly killed whatever difficulty the game had. Pretty much tired of this formula now, they need to evolve this series. Very disappointed to hear that the GC version is basically the same game.

Now Playing:
Nintendogs DS
Guild Wars PC
Riviera GBA

I played through both stories (only on normal, the way the difficulty is balanced on hard seems farcical) and also did some questing in the extra areas (the tower and the temple - which are cool but do unbalance the game significantly). Probably 40 hours all up.

Just starting X-Men Legends II

That's about all I've played in quite a while (since Jade Empire came out)

Haven't been gaming much in a while... but that will be corrected when my 360 Preorder shows up
