Destroy All Humans- found it used.  Always wanted it.

Just picked that up myself!  Looks fun.  You get the movie Teenagers From Outer Space as an unlockable item on the disk too.   :cheers:

Ordered this for the PS3:



You get both Escape from Butcher Bay as well as the Assault on Dark Athena game.

Just played Modern Warfare 2 for about an hour.  This weekend the multiplayer component is free on steam.  It's fun and has some good ideas, and is also completely ludicrous - semi-realistic weapons handling, but you've got maniacs running around knifing everyone, guys dual wielding pistols, etc. 

I also find the "extra" kills very annoying - like the sentry guns, the helicopters, and the rockets from the sky.  I'm getting a handle on the game via free for all deathmatch, and I'd guess these bits would be less annoying in team games though.

Regardless, I like it, but at this point not enough to buy it.

Give yourself some time. It may become an obsession. I know I miss it when I go a day or two without playing it. There no greater feeling than being charged by some "blademaster" and either knocking him down with a headshot or knifing his butt into next week. Or, better yet, sneaking up behind someone in the game and putting a round in the back of their head and they have no clue you are there.

Picked up a few more recently:



Ah yes.  I have that game as well.  It is very good in gameplay and the visuals.  The setting is pretty good, but the world's are kind of bland and the story is average at best.  Sadly, it has the biggest cop-out and cheapest ending I have ever seen.  You will be disappointed.

Currently, I have bought The Conduit for the Wii.  It's pretty good and the controls are great.  I have some trouble throwing grenades though and some areas are mind blowingly difficult.

Yeah, I'm kind of waiting to get another HDTV in the bedroom (where my PS2 is) before I start playing it because I read that the graphics were terrific.  The gameplay sounded really good as well, a bit like FF XII, which I loved.  I've just started getting interested in RPG games.

I bought Call Of Duty: World At War. It is hyperviolent with body parts raining down and limbs being blown off, but the BIGGEST reason to buy this game?


NAZI ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Amazon's gold box deal of the day, so I got it for $37.

Recently, I have bought Super Mario Galaxy 2, Gun, Red Steel, and Silent Hill 2.  All fun and enjoyable games!  I've been SMG 2 now, so I shall move onto the next game in the line up, Gun.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 I bought a week or two ago.  I finally got around to playing it.  It's great.  In particular I have to give them credit for the 3D version of Yoshi, which works much better than I thought it would.  They've also clearly tried to fix what many perceived as short comings of the original game - my biggest complaint was too much of the game was too easy.  And I've already been challenged a couple times quite well.  The level where you spin to flip up or down platforms (bonus level, basically) was challenging in just the right way and quite a bit of fun.  Good stuff.

WWF War Zone- an old PlayStation 1 game from around 1998.  The roster is a little limited, featuring only about 16 of the WWF's mid-level and main event wrestlers: HHH, Shawn Michaels, Mosh, Thrasher, Ahmed Johnson, Mankind, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Owen Hart, Bret Hart, Ken Shamrock, Kane, Undertaker, British Bulldog, Goldust, and Farooq.

But they have 30 create-a-wrestler spots open, so you can have about 46 wrestlers in the game.  I used to love the game, but never owned it myself, my cousin did.  So I found it cheap, around $2.99 plus tax.  And it completes my collection of wrestling games.
