You haven't beaten Halo 3?

I just wrapped up PGR3 for now. I think I'm going to put in Virtua Tennis 3 next while doing Deus Ex.

@AV: No.  I'm LTTP.  I have a huge backlog, dude.  I started using that website you mentioned--backloggery.  It's very useful.

I'm gonna try to beat GTA4 and Ninja Gaiden Black so that I can trade in GTA4 for Ninja Gaiden II when it comes out.

I'll also be playing Civ4. So addictive and time passes way too quickly when playing. Thank God finals are over.

Still trying to finish up GTAIV.

After that I might start another game in Mass Effect or get back Fallout 2 and Baldur's Gate 1.

I picked up GT5:P yesterday.  Just wanted to check out the graphics.  I doubt I'll actually enjoy playing it.

The whole installation and patching process was hair tearing frustration.  The patch downloaded for an hour or so before I got a message saying that the update can't be completed.  How the hell can anyone defend that crap?

I finally got my PS3's wireless set up, what is the cream of the crop when it comes to PSN? I have CAC, Gripshift, and Warhawk.

I'm not into Geo Wars style stuff so Everyday Shooter and Super Stardust are out. What else comes recommended? I checked the top 100 PS3 games on GameRankings and there were only like 4 PSN games listed. What's with Flow and Pixeljunk monsters?

if you bought GT5:P just for checking out the graphics, then you'll be disappointed.

Persona 3-Just reached the 3rd block and got a new party member. The game has been growing on me more and more despite it being a big departure from the others. I also like how they keep adding a new element into the game after each full moon. Hopefully that keeps up for the rest of the game.

Fallout 2- Been playing bits and pieces of this on the side. Love the atmosphere in it.

Wizardry 8- Decided to give this game another shot after the recent thread. I tried to make it interesting by making some bizzare characters. I have a foul mouth female dwarf for a cleric, a fighter named Tink the Tank who's drunken blue fairy, and an idotic cat ninja. Unfortunately I'm finding the game quite 'meh' so far. I think it's because the look hasn't aged well at all. I don't think I'll make it through the game.

Fire Emblem GBA- I've been in a Fire Emblem mood and haven't played this one all the way through.

Since my HDTV is away for repairs, I'm thinking of using my CRT to catch up on my survival horror backlog.

I'm near the end of:
Fatal Frame 1
Clock Tower 3


I've barely started:
Haunting Ground
Siren


And I haven't started:
Fatal Frame 2
Fatal Frame 3

I think I'm going to put in Virtua Tennis 3 next...

I am so disappointed with this game. I mean, it has solid gameplay but if you've played VT2 there is absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing new to the game except the HD.

The only thing "new" about the game (iirc) is there are times where the pros come up to you and say something. What they say is always asinine ("Hey, haven't I seen you somewhere? Oh, I remember."), there is exactly one canned animation for all players, male and female, and they all have the "uncanny valley ftl" look to them (some players look diseased even, and if Daniela Hantuchova ever saw herself in this game, no doubt she'd go back to being anorexic).

It's really fun, but in terms of progressing the series forward, SEGA have channeled their resources to all the wrong things.

Top Spin is a better series, imo.

COD4. As always. I'm going to try and trudge through a bit more of Twilight Princess too, but that's hardly a very festive thing to do.

Going to do GTAIV, as usual, and some Ghost Squad on the side.

Smooth Move,

I was recently replaying Dark Messiah. Did you just start or are you getting back in also?

How is Ghost Squad?  I have been digging HotD Return alot.
It's pretty good, IMHO. I'd recommend it.

Well, I only had VT1. And I got this for like $15 6 months ago.

Smooth Move,

I played it for a bit when it was released then put it away until now. 

I'm starting from the beginning since I don't remember what the game's about.

I played a bit of Motorstorm Complete last night, but that's been it for a week.  I want to play Deus Ex, but my MacBook runs it way, way too fast to be playable.  Going to try the EEE and see if it can handle it.

Need to beat GTA4 so I can be ready for Ninja Gaiden II and MGS4 in a few weeks.

GTA4 -Want to beat the story before I sell it
Company of Heroes - Getting owned by the fifth mission
Sins of a Solar Empire - Demo was pretty cool, probably going to pick up the full game tomorrow
TF2 - Always playing it, has pretty much taken COD4's spot in my gaming rotation
