Nothing wrong with that. Best music ever, very peaceful.

Right now I'm playing Bloons Tower Defense 4 and Command and Conquer Renegade.

It takes a lot to creep me out but the point and click game Exmortis 2 always sends a chill through my bones. You go through all the crap you can imagine and some you can't and then, at the games' end......................

I played one of those NCAA football simulations (not sure which one) against my little nephew yesterday.  He played GA Tech 2005 and I took Ball State 2005, bragging that I could use my superior coaching ability to beat his better players.  His strategy was to throw a Hail Mary every down, never punt or try a field goal, and onside kick after every score.  I was down 12-7 in the fourth quarter and driving for a score when my QB fumbles and he runs it back for the clinching TD.  Score ended 19-14.  Oh well, he was used to beating the computer coached teams 86-0, so I still beat the spread.

Hey, I've played that!  Also, don't forget the first one, but yeah, the second one is awesome.  Can't wait for the third game to come out. 

Oh, wait, turn out it IS out!  Cool!

Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Great game.

I've been playing Grid on the PS3 for about a week now.  It's a fun arcade racing game.  Kind of frustrating at times - on the tracks I know well, I can get first place.  On the tracks I'm not familiar with, I finish a distant last.  Lots of cool things about this game, I just wish the driving was at least somewhat realistic.  The cars can go around corners so fast it's just plain silly.

Also playing a bit of Ford Racing 3 on the PS2.  It's a cute little game, like a mini version of Gran Turismo 4.  Real, real mini.  It's extremely easy at first, I think I won about 8 out of the first 10 races.  The tracks are really cool, very atmospheric.  Good music too.  This would be a fantastic game if they would have put about 10 times as much money and effort into it.

I've gone back to playing Sacred 2 on the PS3.  I'm 24 hours into it and have only cleared less than 20 percent of the game. Great Diablo type game for the consoles, and the humor is wonderfully cheesy.

Just picked up Bayonetta for the Xbox 360 yesterday and it is awesome!

You play as Bayonetta, an Umbran witch who fights against the angelic forces of Paradiso.
The story is kind of complicated and confusing in parts, but overall it isn't too bad.

Bayonetta herself is a total sexpot and much of her actions and movements involve serious sexual innuendo in some form or another.  From multiple shots of her ass to close-ups of her sucking on a lollipop, her sexuality is all over the place in this game.

The combat in this game is absolutely insane!
You can bust out huge combos, and, when your magic meter fills all the way up, Bayonetta's hair (which is also her outfit that she wears) will form huge demons that'll rip your foes to shreds.
The finishers are truly a sight to behold. (you can see one in the video below at the 2:00 mark)

The only thing I don't like about it is the music, which can be very "girly" and can grate on your nerves.  You can hear it in the video below.

Check out this gameplay video:

If you're a fan of the Devil May Cry or God of War games then you'll definitely want to check out Bayonetta.
3.5 out of 4 stars

I played the demo of this and I want to get it so bad.  It was incredible to unleash guns, pole arms and nudity all in one big combo.  You can get through this game by random button mashing for the most part or, if you are very into it, you can review the dozens of combo attacks to increase the damage to your enemies.  It looks incredible, but as Heavy Rain is gonna eat up my budget for this month, Bayonetta will have to wait until either a price drop or I hit a month where I don't find movies I want (which will never happen).

Great posting, Ash.
