Have'ta say
Final Fantasy XII - I'm finishing killing every hunt monster, which is the only mini-game in there. That and I want Zodiark

Final Fantasy Tactics - Replay vaule for me is insanely high. I've beaten it multiple times and the re-make's comming out too.

Dynasty Warriors 5 - Never get's old....until you get all the 4th weapons.

and Advance Wars 2 - THAT GAME IS HARD!?! I've freakin' played Command and Conquer: Generals Zero Hour, and WarHammer 40,000, but it's so freakin' hard!!! @_@;;;;;

Pokemon Diamond, as it was on 106

But now I've beated the Elite Four, started my National Dex, and have begun training my Pokemon to lvl 100 (Growlzer is 3 levels away!) Oh, and I've been breeding Totodiles with Surf and Waterfall XD!!

I just beat [and by just, I mean about two minutes ago] Halo for the Mac on Easy.

I might also add that I did so using only the keyboard and finger pad on my PowerBook. No mouse. My FPS-junkie cousin Jordan said he probably couldn't do it. That was a rather high compliment for a lowly casual gamer such as I.

I've also spent the last two nights up until about 2 AM working to S-rank every song in Elite Beat Agents on Breezin' difficulty. This game is like crack. Even with the less-than-impressive song list. : : reminds self to knothole away some money to import Ouendan when I get Jump Ultimate Stars : :

Current favorite Halo moment:

: : while piloting a damaged Banshee in a cutscene : :

Cortana: This thing is falling apart!
Master Chief: It'll hold.
Cortana: We're not gonna make it!
Master Chief: We'll make it.
Cortana: PULL UP!

: : Banshee crashes below where they were supposed to land with the Chief hanging onto the ledge by one hand : :

Cortana [obviously irritated]: You did that on purpose, didn't you.

1. Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition - Just got it today and I’m quite impressed by the new controls so far. It really seems to breathe new life into a already awesome game... kinda’ like what the new camera did to MGS3: Subsistence. -True widescreen is a nice plus as well.
2. God of War (PS2) - Madness? This… is… GAMING!
3. Forza 2 (360) - I thought I would *never* say this, but I have been playing a racing sim for over two weeks now. Yeah, it's that good… despite being forced to slow down at turns. ;)

Sonic the Hedgehog on my Wii. Via the VC.

This is the first time I've played the game in my life. Ever.

So this is the game that competed with Mario so harshly...

And how awsome of a game it is^^ Well, then again I started off with the second one first which in my opinion is much better (due to nostalgia, Tails, and that you can do the spinny-thingie^^)

Well, now Mario and Sonic can duke it out in the olympics game^^

Wow, nice to see ya' back, cbwing!

Anyways.... with the 360 working fine again (for now it seems), I've been working my way through Call of Duty 2, Gears of War, and Ghost Recon 2 on the hardest difficulty setting to kill time til' Blue Dragon, Metroid Prime 3, and BioShock are out. Since all of those games are fairly good about checkpoints, it's pretty fun and not as frustrating as let's say... Perfect Dark Zero.

Right now though, I'm downloading Marathon: Durandal on Xbox Live Arcade.... never owned a Mac, so I'm curious to try it out and see if it's really better than Doom as they say. ;)

Checkpoints... Resistance is pretty bad about Checkpoints on some levels... Ugh...

I just got the full version of "Rub a dub", "Super Stardust HD", "Gripshift", "Mortal Kombat II", and "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" on PSN.

Rub a dub is a game made to show of the tilt on sixaxis. It's pretty fun, but the demo did seem to be the best levels... so far...

Stardust... Well, I think Omega's talked about it on the gamecast. It's fun, but I'm not that great at it yet... I'm too conservative with my bombs.

Gripshift is a Mario Kart clone without the recognizable characters, with nitros, and with less gravity and bigger jumps. It's pretty fun, actually... I mean, I've always loved Mario Kart, and mostly just for its gameplay and not simply for its characters.

Mortal Kombat II is a fan favorite for many... I got it mostly because it will draw a lot of my friends to want to play my PS3... Yeah, lots of MKII fans in my circle. I pretty much just use Mileena and do the teleport kick... heh

Symphony of the Night is also a fan favorite... It's considered the best game in the Castlevania series, though apparently the DS ones are supposed to be great (haven't played them, and don't know I'm ever gonna get a DS)

Still playing resistance... In london right now, fighting the group of Stalkers and that spider thing that spits exploding bubbles... And... I can't get past it... I lose most of my life by the time the spider comes, and I can't seem to evade the spider thing's exploding snot bubble things...

I'm playing, like, a billion games right now...

Final Fantasy Tactics - Still leveling my two teams in Chapter 1. A very difficult thing to do, mind you.

Gripshift - Still on beginner's challenge mode, and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to do time, stars, AND the GS icon on the last 3... I'm also racing on easy, and I'm finding races I'm now unable to win... I'd also like to take back my calling it a Mario Kart clone... It isn't... Not completely. It behaves so radically different from Mario Kart (except for the weapons system, which is weak compared to Mario Kart's) it's not really a fair comparison. May I add that there is no one who plays this game online, and there is no splitscreen option? The value of the game dropped a lot when I learned that... Racing game - splitscreen = not worth it (like Motorstorm)

Piyo... somethingrather (the new game on PSN today) A game session can last a long time, but it starts to get boring after a while... It's also difficult for me to plan my combos, because of the way it works, but I've gotten better at that... It's a "tetris" style puzzler, but it's controls are definitely unique... It's been on the Japanese store for a long time, but they just brought it to the US...

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I'm progressing quite nicely.

The Graw Demo... Still haven't beaten it, but I have hope now that I finally found the inverse in the options... It doesn't look that bad, but the framerate gets pretty bad, a problem that doesn't exist on the 360 version from what I've heard... At least Ubisoft is getting better with their PS3 ports...

Mortal Kombat II... Plain fact is, I suck at it... I used to be better, but I'm very out of practice... I can't get past Kung Lao, regardless of who I choose or how many times I face him...

Resistance - I'm stuck fighting about 3 stalkers and a more organic spider looking thing that spits bubbles at me... I die whenever I fight it, and then i have to go back and kill the stalkers again... One stalker was difficult enough (though I almost always get it when I play that level now)

Super Stardust HD... Just learned how to boost... I need to figure out how to use it effectively... I haven't even come close to my last record yet... And my record was nowhere close to Omega's record...

About to get Wild Arms 3...

Finished Two worlds, somewhat buggy and easy to sort of 'sneak past sections' at times. Uses the same kinda engine *or at least very close* like Gothic 3. Lacked an ending, not the best game I have played besides that. *Overpowered bears that can kill even a fairly strong hero at 1 punch, but you can aviod their attacks among other noteable monsters*. In short, I don't understand the comparison to Oblivion even though it is an RPG game, not recomended by my personal opinion.

I finally got around to beating Super Paper Mario (Wii) and Hotel Dusk this past weekend. -Both were very entertaining with some sharp writing to boot. Right now, as I wait for Bioshock, I'm playing through Return to Castle Wolfenstien (again) and Doom 3.

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
