Beyond Good and Evil requires you to put up with having a vagina to play.
I'd get Thief 3 from that list. Hitman 2 might be better on PC, I hated Hitman on a console. Prince of Persia was a cool game until I got fed up with their obsession with figuring out some obscure trick to win a battle, the platforming was fun.

Currently: lots of LBP
I gotta say the creativity of the Japanese made levels is amazing!

Signe, that is a list full of shitty. The Combat Mission games are fun if you like wargames.

Yeah, they look pretty shitty to me, too. It's just free. I'll get the Theif one and then ignore hit points for another six years, I guess.

GUN is a fun game if you've never played it. It's a western, and I believe it's very well-produced. But unfortunately, you play a character with a wang.

Am I the only one who doesn't really mind gender in a game?
I'll play male or female characters, and whenever I get to choose I pick whatever I feel like that day. Sometimes its a HAWT CHIXXOR, other times its a dude.

No, most men don't seem to mind. They come up with all kinds of excuses for why they do it, but the truth is obvious. Nearly all the women I know who play MMOs dislike being male characters, even the ultra feminine frail looking elves. So, if you're a boy, you're normal and probably somewhat dainty.

I'm trying not to get irritated that my wife and son are so incredibly shitty at Little Big Planet. I've done one or two of the two-player puzzles by myself using two controllers, but my wife can't launch herself off of a springing platform. My first goal, once I have an acceptable number of items unlocked, will be to make a level for them both to suck in.

but my wife can't launch herself off of a springing platform \ I had this same exact problem for a good while. Couldn't get pass taht one scary wedding level in the story mode. My recomendation make them play that level (the one with a ton of springy platforms above the spikes and make them practice. At first i tried like a trampoline (jumping at the bottom of the spring), but now find it do best if i jump just BEFORE the top of the spring. let the spring do the work for me.

The platforming in LBP is really loose. It's like swimming in some places. My wife hates is because it is not responsive enough, also not having unlimited lives seems strangely punitive for this game. As for launching from springing platforms (or anything), you must jump once the upswing has started. It makes sense when you think about it but runs counter to years of platforming experience.

Back to my chicken noodle soup of Twilight Princess. Not having played it since it came out, I forgot a lot of things so it's not totally like a replay.

Fallout 3 and Uncharted.
Uncharted is really good, but I don't care for the gun battles at all. Just read here about shooting from the hip.. so I'll try that. Still, it's kind of weird that the enemies seem to have a similar health regeneration to yourself. Anyhow, the story, voice acting, platforming, and the general feel of it make it worth playing.

That. I don't know when I turned into such a pussy, but I just want to play the game without getting into all those pesky fights.

Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2. Nothing original in this household, baby!

Finished Uncharted. The gun fights got a lot easier and my only deaths were due to the laser sighted one hits (laaaaaaaaaaaaame). Overall, great game and just one of the cooler video game experience I'll remember for a while.
Then, being bored and a little done with Fallout 3 for now, I load up GTA IV. Mistake. I must have really been in need of a GTA fix when I played this, because I was not having fun. The controls were bad, it looked ugly as sin, the missions were annoying and death/failure meant a complete re-do, and everything just felt unnecessarily dark. Uggg... I felt bad after playing it and I'm not sure I want to again. I really wish they'd re-skin San Andreas for a next gen.
Taking a trip to GameStop tomorrow I think. Just not sure what I want to get. Almost leaning toward WOLK just because I want something lengthy and I might finish a title like LBP and Fable II too fast.

Finished Uncharted. Tangent: I was surprised to discover this week than Uncharted was scored by Greg Edmonson (Firefly).

Currently level 15 almost 16 in Fallout 3, and my Heroine is level 38 in Dragon Quest 4.
I hate that stupid angel NPC. She sucks and is useless.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

It's that time of the year again: unbeknownst (love this strange word :P) to everyone but a small, ultra-nerdy niche of the PC gaming population, the yearly edition of Sports Interactive's Football Manager (Worldwide Soccer Manager in the US of A) has been released.
Game reaches the top of most charts across europe, wives and girlfriends screams alike in terror.

I just got Force Unleashed for the Wii from rental, so am playing it a bit. Sloppy SLOPPY controls.
Also, playing the demo of the above-mentioned Football Manager. Wow, now that is addictive.

Nobody actually likes baseball. It's what they watch while waiting for football to start back up.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. It's somewhat difficult, but very good. Fable II. It's a real mix of stupid and brilliant, but I'm enjoying it well enough. LotRO: Mines of Moria. Expansion nice, me like. Nile Online... sort of. I check in every couple of days to find out if my jews are starving. More fun than Text Zombie.
