Gears 2 is having a special weekend with 4v4 and no smoke grenade ragdoll, so I should be dabbling in that when my friends are ready.

Peggle DS, maybe some Burnout, and probably some Killzone 2.

Mirror's Edge, playing Time Trials. Fun, but I actually miss the enemies.

The kid has been playing Kameo, but apparently she thinks that it's crap and wants to play Banjo instead.

Lost Planet- Wow this went to crap real quick. Who would've thought that my biggest enemy in the game would be smoke. The first couple of stages were fun but the level and boss design suddenly went sour after that.

Punch Out- It's Punch Out. Not much more to say about it than I really like the animation and the amount of personality the boxers exhibit during the matches. Wish the game didn't look like blurry ass on my tv.

Street Fighter IV- Been on a small hiatus this past week but I'll be jumping back into championship mode again soon.

Street Fighter II- It's been forever and since I now have a joystick I decided to play the OG SFII. Not CE, Turbo or Super, just plain old 8 fighter Street Fighter II arcade. Funny how goofy the portraits look in the game. Dhalsim has one gigantic eye and Guile looks like a reggae dork. Speaking of which, Guile is a freaking beast in this. It was fun to jump over to CE edition after and see how much they improved everything.

Playing through a bunch of old games this week too:
Ninja Gaiden Shadow (Disappointingly easy)
Kid Chameleon
Chimera (weird arcade shmup, not very good but it has an awesome Engrish ending)
Do Don Pachi
Bubble Bobble II arcade (how come this version hasn't been ported a billion times)
Ghouls n' Ghosts arcade (mmm... armorless Arthur...)

mmm

Played a bit of Bionic Commando ReArmed, Soul Calibur IV (lolz), and a little SF4.  I think the latter is finally beginning to feel "old" after 200 or so hours of play time.  I have a long way to go in improving my skills and getting better, but I don't know if I'm going to bother; I want something new to play and am growing tired of fighting scrubs and turtles.  Patiently waiting for Blaz Blue and KOF XII.

Finally got back from vacation, which I spent playing Rockband: Unplugged and Untold Legends on PSP while in the car.

Now that I am back, I will probably be playing some Civilization and hopefully get to try out Demigod.

Been waiting for Riddick to drop to a budget price before playing it, but then you guys are saying it's not worth it at all?  I never played the original and was interested in this game.  It's too bad the quality of Starbreeze's games seems to have gone way down hill; I loved Enclave years back.

I never played the original either, and i'm a huge Pitch Black fan and love Riddick (hate Chronicles) so I was excited to play it. It's pure and utter shit. Terrible AI, terrible gun play, just overall terrible. Ending rooms are kinda cool, but other than that it's kinda shitty.

I disagree.

It's a good game for maybe $30 since the online is probably dead.  It's probably a better rental though because of that actually.  I LOVED the atmosphere and the hand-to-hand combat.  The shooting even was very well developed.  The only problems with the first game were that there were too many fetch quests and the dark areas (where you can't see ANYTHING) are annoying until you get the eye-shine ability.

The second game (Dark Athena) is a lot more awesome though.  The new weapons like the Ulaks and SCAR gun feel more satisfying and I even liked the story better

It's overall a very good singleplayer pack.  There is a good amount of replay value there if you want to buy it.

Dark Athena is TRASH. It goes 100000% against what made Butcher Bay awesome. Everything is a scripted fucking event and all the enemies know you're coming so there's no point to sneak in vents and drag bodies and shit. They give you every fucking gun available, making it nothing but a shitty ass FPS crapfest.

What are you talking about?  Most of the guns that you can shoot are attached to the enemies.

Even the ratio of melee to shooting is higher in DA.  The main difference with stealth is that since you start off with eye-shine Dark Athena, they had to make deadlier and more aware enemies.  In some areas of DA, it's actually harder to sneak past the enemies than it is to go Rambo.  But you do get some achievements for being stealthy so there's kind of a reward to it.  In the first game, sneaking felt too easy once you got the night vision.

edit - the game is back to 5v5 but they did not revert the smoke grenades to their shitty form, it appears that Gears 2 competitive is permanently worthwhile

Games aren't doing anything for me right now.  Taking a break until Infamous comes out and hopefully that gets the gaming blood pumping again.

The 360 panorama stuff in Shivers is pretty cool, but the game is too much effort for me right now.  Not in the mood.
