I'm only at level ~54, so I think that's probably part of it.

I think I roughly completed the game around that level, but I can't be assed to walk 10 feet behind me to get the game cart and check to see how I ended the game at.

Final Fantasy III is a bad old school game before they figured out how to "write." Everything prior to IV is caveman scribblings on the wall. Yes, it's possible for something that comes out later to totally invalidate the need for anything that came out prior. FF IV manages to do that though.

That last dungeon in FF3 DS was worth the grind IMHO. I'm a sucker for long dungeon crawls.

While I'm /still/ playing Fallout3 and FfH2 (trying the scenarios), 'tis the season for my excursion last night....get ready for it.... Madden 08 on the 360 My dad lent me his 360 while he's south for the winter. Too bad he loves shooters, so it's all goddamned shooters...plus Madden 08. I think he's got the previous CoD (4?), GoW (which I'll check out), some R6, Halo 3, blah blah yawn. Thinking of doing some bin diving to round out his collection, Dead Rising, Crackdown, whatever. Freeney's spin move is underpowered in Madden 08 imo.

Recently added Indigo Prophecy, Beautiful Katamari and possibly EVE to the mix. I know I seem to have a good bit of Katamari under my belt but those achievements are almost entirely from my son.

Been completely hooked on Little Big Planet for the last few days. Both my girlfriend and I are having LBP dreams every night which is a bit scary

I wish my wife dreamed about LBP, then maybe she'd quit sighing while I am working on building tank treads.

We just spent nearly 2 hours trying to do one little 2-person bit in one of the story levels involving a couple of carts, some impact explosives and a rainbow stripy plank thing. It was so awesome when we finally managed to work it out and do it without blowing ourselves up

FFH - Kael finally "finished" it and I have been working my way through the scenarios. Man, the one with Perpench is pretty tough, but I think I finally figured out a good strategy for it!

Got Fable 2 and Pure for Xmas so having been playing that. Loaded Civ IV up on the laptop since I was stuck in small town northern Alberta for Christmas with the inlaws and FfH is a good way to kill 6+ hours.
I'm having a surprising amount of fun with Fable 2 so far, especially considering how much I disliked the first one.

The conclusion I came to after wasting 4 or so unsavable hours is that it is unfun to grind and then die anyway at the hand of a boss that is not even the final boss, and they don't let you save and it's not fun anymore and I don't like it. Plugged in IV.

So... LittleBigPlanet. Yep, I think I'm done with this one. The ninja levels are just about the most annoying platform levels I've ever encountered. Those spinning wheels can go fuck themselves. The precision jumping on tiny landing spots was bad enough, but holy god this went too far. And I was enjoying LBP lot before this. I thought it was charming, now it's just pissed me off.

I decided to give Sacred2 another try. Bad camera, really not a good start. Once you get past the bad camera, and get a few runes and levels under your belt, it becomes a graphically pretty 3d Sacred. Just wish I had a manual, as I have no clue what some shit is/does. I'm sure there's one in the steam directory, but I can't look things up quick while I'm playing, or thumb through it on the can.
So far it's decent fun, will probably noodle around with it for a few more days, then get around to installing FFH2 and seeing what all the fuss is about.

Mostly Madden08 the last few days. Good timing, having that land in my house at the height of the season.
Just picked up Dead Rising and Crackdown for some cheap thrills. Only had crackdown in for a few minutes, seems like a fun drivey shooty thing. Dead Rising is fucking awesome, played that for a few hours today.

Found MGS4 for a not-too-outrageous price in the UK. Can't stop playing it, except for the occasional break to get a few more Dead Space trophies.

It's 3d Sacred without the gloomy atmosphere and story. Sacred 2 did pretty much everything that I'm hoping Blizzard doesn't do (and probably will) with Diablo 3. Back on track: Been playing a lot of flash games on Kongregate. Also been playing let's read a fuckton.

I'm still playing Resistance 2. I love the co-op!
Also, Dwarf Fortress and Lumines Supernova while R2's matchmaking servers fuck themselves.

The Xmas season got me some good cheap games. Alternating between World in Conlifct multiplayer (just me and bots to learn what I'm doing), Rome: Total War from Awomo (which makes me want to go back to Medieval 2), Bioshock (shittons of awesome), FIFA 09 for the PS2 and Gran Turismo 4 for the PS2. And I still have BF2, BF2142 and TF2 if I want to play something else.

Just started playing Mount and Blade for the first time in months, so fun. The only things I wish could be added to combat were dismemberment (riding past a guy a chopping off his head would be fucking awesome), and multiplayer.
No mods just yet, but I'm sure I'll dl some at some point.

Been playing the beta for Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment.
It really ups the defensive options, which is why it's called Entrenchment. The new Starbases are really pretty cool, front line bases can be made into combat monsters while Starbases in the rear areas, although still effective combatants can be turned into strong economic facilities.
The space mines may be a more than a touch overpowered though, really you can spam the routes into a system with 80 or 100 mines and pretty much obliterate whatever the first wave of attackers are. This also means that for a few thousand credits initial investment or so you can completely ignore pirate raids as they will blow themselves to smithereens on the mine fields.

I started playing Aquaria a couple nights ago after finishing up Overlord last week. It's an explorer's paradise. I wish it didn't emphasize combat so much in some of the areas; I think it's at its best when you are just swimming lazily.

This. I redownloaded it on Saturday after not having played since version 0.7 or so. Installed it around 6 in the afternoon. I didn't get to bed until half a day later. I love leading my horse-archer death squad up to the top of a hill, "HOLD FIRE".... .... .... "FIRE AT WILL!" And then the slaughter-scroll rolls by.

I'm stuck on Left 4 Dead. It has eaten all of my game time so much so, that EVE has taken a back seat and I love that game. Co op zombie shooting is just too much fun.

Personally, I could do with a little less ALTCL this month.

Getting really pissed off with MGS4. It's so odd. It does some things so well and does many other things incredibly badly. The good bits are good enough to keep me playing but the bad bits (mostly the tedious and ludicrous story and abysmal voice acting) are so bad that it's a strain to endure them to get back to the good bits.
