mad thunderforce yo. right now i'm playing tf4 on the saturn compilation -- it's slowdown-free, and the video output is much nicer than anything you'll get out of a genesis, but i'm not that keen on the slightly-remixed music or the neutered sound effects :'(

probably some more Blue Dragon (dre's seemed to have calmed down, Ive noticed 'pre heating' the 360 seems to work well.

Some more Bully, some more Shenmue 2... was thinking about renting some trashy game like Alone in the Dark or something just for a quick playthrough and some easy achievements

Same as last weekend. Just got another rider up to #1 in Amped 2 SP.

Probably will hook the PS2 back up to play God of War again. That, or I'll just watch movies.

wild arms xf psp -- the best srpg made in recent memory. almost done with act 3. jesus christ this game is long. i'm at 52 hours already.

final fantasy 4 ds -- i like the upped difficulty, and the soundtrack is total wilde homo nostalgia. i haven't played it since the godawful abortive gba version i abandoned halfway in on account of it being buggy as fuck, and previous to that was 1993.

guilty gear xx accent core plus psp -- best portable guilty gear yet! omg. chipp is still a beast.

persona 3 fes ps2 -- hopefully i'll finally complete it.

My new job has giving me plenty of handheld time so here's what I've been playing:

Wild Arms XF- A really good SRPG that puts the emphases on "strategy". I'm currently on chapter 1-8 and am loving how each main battle presents a unique challenge that I rarely ever see in SRPGs.

Disgaea PSP- For a third time I have returned to the game form of crack. Playing this back to back with Wild Arms while at work. Playing Wild Arms for the strategy and Disgaea for the deep character building.

Space Invaders Extreme PSP- It good!

Mega Man and Bass- Hardest of the classic Mega Man games. I remember hating it when I first played it but it's grown on me recently.

Eternal Sonata- I have to balance out the good games somehow. It sure is pretty to look at though.

Super Stardust HD- Building up my trophy collection. Up to 10 right now.

This is true.  I know people who can break both, but you'd never know because they can beat me with like two moves. :-\

Yeah, its just unfortunate the 'SC3 is broken' gets tossed around by people who dont even know how to 'break' it. It just makes people not wanna play a really great entry into the series.

Well, it IS fucked up.  But you guys are right in that many will never know what it is that breaks it.  Even Namco themselves knows they fucked up, hence why the more "fixed" SC3 Arcade Edition saw release later on.  If it's fun for you, play it and don't listen to bitter, elitist fighting game players who don't fucking like anything.

I just like playing SC3 in versus with randomly-generated characters.  I hope this is available in SC4 too.   :)

Call of Duty 4 - I've been playing this online everyday for the past week thanks to my cousin. I'm almost at rank 53.

Mario Kart Wii - Finally got back to this game. I got 3 cups left to do in 100cc, 5 in 50cc, and everything in 150cc.

Burnout Revenge - Got tired of trying to get the Elite license in Burnout Paradise, so I started playing this yesterday. Racing is so much more fun in this. And it has crash mode! :-[

It isn't bad, but it drags out one task and makes you do the same thing several times in a row.  It gets really tedious.  If they didn't stretch things out like that, it would be pretty good.  It is different from the other Ratchet games and that is a good thing.
