Persona 4 and Fable 2.
Fable 2 gone on backburner compared to Persona 4 though. Persona 4 gets best RPG of 2008 from me unless something magical comes in the next two weeks.

Lost Odyssey makes me a sad panda.

The memory stories are some of the most depressing things I've ever seen in a game.Originally Posted by Torcer Arcana
Sad as in the game is bad, or sad as in every story is depressing as all hell?
I enjoyed the game (still on disk 4), but you'd think that in 1000 years he would have some happy memories. He seem to recall the most devestatingly sad moments from the most trivial of things.
Playing a mixture of WoW and X-COM: UFO Defense. Just got my netbook a couple of weeks ago and I need to find some good games that can
a) run on linux,
b) run on dosbox or
c) run on wine
given the hardware on the Acer Aspire one.

Just finished Oblivion with the Xpacs...I couldn't make myself do the Shivering isles, after enjoying the main plot and the Quest of the 9, it seems a poor transition to then quests to become the lord of dementia. I just decided to save myself the time and read the rest of that quest series rather than trudge through it. If I hadn’t purchased the game in a pack that included all the expansions, I would have felt the Shivering Isles was a waste of money.
Right now I’m enjoying the uncensored EE of the Witcher. It’s more violent and gritty in its original form. I like some of the twists in the plots so far.
I couldn't disagree more. Shivering Isles had far more interesting quests than the base game or any of the DLCs.
And you could just have chosen Mania instead of Dementia, if that was the rub
Sad as in it’s the most depressing game ever. I mean who the fuck would ever think to have a collection quest combined with a funeral?
As for the game itself, I would have given it a 9/10 rating, but its either a 8 or a 7.5 due solely to how it forces you to repeat cut scenes when you lose a battle and ity will string you along for more than an hour before allowing you to save. There’s NO excuse for forcing players to repeat crap like that.

Just got the new Kirby game for DS.

I'm playing Valkyria Chronicles.
I have a two game credit at Game Stop and Call of Duty 4 lined up next, thanks to Christmas gifts.
I just got to try left 4 dead. I'm gonna try to play a hardcore with some people today.

A friend talked me into buying the Civ IV pack on Steam. Holy crap, that game is so much better than I ever expected. I hated turn-based strategy games I've played in the past, but I just played like 3 hours straight yesterday and am loving it.
Assassin's Creed (PS3). It's on Platinum now, and I feel I've already gotten my 30€ investment back out of the game in maybe 5 hours of playing. It's really nice.
On a sidenote, I'll need a bigger TV to play console games on.
WoW, still. Ugh. I'll never free myself, happily
The wife and I went absolutely NUTS and got us both DS's with Xmas money. She's playing the mystery "find the item and tap it" game, I'm playing
Etrian's Odyssey
That game is pure win. Rawr.
I'm thinking about Lock's Quest - we have a free rental, I might try it out. Any other suggestions? I'm loving this thing.
Also, we bought MegaMan 9 for the PS3, and I"m enjoying that, as well. She got me Bioshock for the PS3 as a gift, and I'm waiting for the other games to calm down before I tackle it.

I forgot about Lock's Quest, was going to squeeze it into your other thread somewhere. I haven't played it myself, but I keep hearing good things about it. Basically a tower defense game in which the monsters attack your defenses, and you can fight them yourself as well.
Finally beat Persona 4. I knew it was going to be long, but that took longer than I expected. Moving on to Resistance 2 now.
I also took (another) break from Yggdra halfway through the game, and am trying out Professor Layton now. I usually play it before bed, which amounts to slow progress.
A friend showed me a pretty cool website that keeps track of your backlog and what you are playing now. I was going to post it here, but on second thought, I'm not sure I want anyone else to know just how huge my stack of unplayed games really is.
I finally finished playing Valkyria Chronicles yesterday. Damn good game (as a number of people have mentioned). Planning to move onto Gears of War 2 which has been sitting and collecting dust for a few weeks now.
Oh, and as embarrassing as this is to admit, I've been playing Animal Crossing: City Folk on the Wii... My girfriend got it and the stupid game is strangely addicting.
There are other worlds than these.
I've been messing with Fable II's Knothole Island DLC after belatedly finishing Tomb Raider: Underworld (other games got in the way of Ms Croft
Knothole Island is a bit of a disappointment. At least there are some unique clothing options.
On the other hand...
Spoiler for read if you have finished the main game:
My wife got me Puzzle Quest for the DS. Apparently, she remembered me downloading the demo (surprising - I download a lot of demos) and how much I raved about the game (also surprising - I rave about 2-3 games a month, and this was months ago), and how much I bitched about it not slated for release on the PC.
Despite the noise in the interim, she remembered the game, she bought it for me... and I haven't put another game in my DS for two weeks.
It's gotten bad. I really need to quit playing that game at night - I stay up too late.
