Reply With QuoteI still haven't finished FF3 either. It was charming and I appreciated what they did, but in the end I decided I would rather play a more interesting game and dumped it. I'll pick it back up one day, maybe. Still haven't beaten Star Ocean 3 either.
I'm still trying to finish FF3 on the DS, which is proving to be much more annoying than I remembered from the NES fan-translation, owing to the lack of save points within dungeons (I've failed the Dark World repeatedly and I'm past the point where I want to grind more levels).
On the 360, Star Ocean: The Last Hope turned out to be longer (and duller) than I expected. 25+ hours in and I'm still on disc 1, and the much-lauded battle system only really seems to work well in boss fights.
I really need something that isn't a JRPG

Fallout 3 DLCs - they're the real deal.
I tried to warn people! Like a car crash, you just have to see it for yourself. First major JRPG I got mostly through and then decided not to finish.On the 360, Star Ocean: The Last Hope turned out to be longer (and duller) than I expected. 25+ hours in and I'm still on disc 1, and the much-lauded battle system only really seems to work well in boss fights.

I rocked out too hard in RB2 and my 360 red ringed (for the second time)
Both Star Ocean and Tales of Vesperia only came out this month in Europe. I would have gotten Tales, but it wasn't out yet and I needed an RPGOriginally Posted by Torcer Arcana
In large part due to a glut of sales recently, I'm playing:
inFamous
Midnight Club Los Angeles
Guitar Hero World Tour
Bioshock
Oblivion
Also still playing:
Sims 3
LOTRO
MLB 09 The Show
I haven't really been getting much reading done lately . . .
Tales of Vesperia. 10+ish hours in and got it two days ago. Been quite some time since I last got so hooked.
Also have Star Ocean 4, but not tried it yet. Heard tales is better so I'm going to finish that first.
Back in WoW ... again.
Haven't touched the PS3 in a few weeks... it's really odd how this stuff goes in waves. Once I'll go PS3 exclusive for a month, then it turns around completely...
WoW during the holiday events - only missing brewfest to get my drake, and that's the only thing keeping me there for now.
Bought The Orange Box via Steam over the weekend - finished Portal, will try TF2 next. Lots of very neat stuff in that box

Thanks to yet another amazing Steam sale, I'm now playing Fallout 3. My girlfriend may never forgive me
I just started Okami, and I bought the Secret of Monkey Island: SE on a whim. I can't remember if I ever played the original.
I’ll definitely be DLing Monkey Island after I finish Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, which I picked up for $19.
“Our opponent is an alien starship packed with atomic bomc,” I said. “We have a protractor. Okay, I'll go home and see if I can scrounge up a ruler and a piece of string.”
I'm also semi-nostalgic with The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition (on the 360 -- controls aren't bad, so the TV won
Annoying thing about the 360 version of Monkey Island: The developers opted for a black border all around the image instead of "properly" designing for the possibility of overscan (that is, not putting anything important in that area of the screen).
Playing Oblivion for the first time in 2 years. With all the mods I've added (OOO, Qarl, TNR, etc), it's like a completely different game.
Bought Bionic Commando for 19 at Gamestop's sale and playing through. It's decent but not worth more than 20 or so bucks.
There are other worlds than these.
We had a coupon for a free rental, so I picked up Resistance 2 for the weekend.
It's ... meh.
It fits firmly into the category of well-done FPS on a console (and I don't really like FPS on a console). The environments are sometimes frustrating to move through, and the weapons don't vary much, but the controls and the graphics (and the storyline and the background stuff, and the seamless cutscenes) help make it entertaining. I wouldn't spend $$ on it, but it's worth the price of admission for me. In this case, free.
Almost every day for the past 6 weeks I've played at least one game of Civilization: Revolutions. I love the originals, and I really enjoy the way the game is boiled down to a few key tricks and methods, while still retaining breadth.

Ending was... meh. The game was entertaining. Worth a free rental

Picked up a 360 a couple months back and due to a few games sales I've got a big backlog so at the moment playing Bioshock, Guitar Hero : World Tour, Saints Row and Lego Star Wars which is great fun playing with my gf.
I've given up on Magic the Gathering until they patch the co-op bug that locks the game whenever I try to start.
Started playing Battlefield 1943 this week and having a blast, first online console FPS I've played and I'm nowhere near as terrible as I expected to be. Not great, but I don't feel totally useless when playing.
Kinda thought I'd give up on the Wii but its still seeing use, playing Eledees and Force Unleashed every few days.
If there's any graffies who want to add me to their friends list on xbox live my handle is Tuvas. I'm always happy to have a go at something but be aware that I really just play for fun and am very not teh hardcore.
I've been going back and playing older games that I never had a chance to play before.
Right now I am knee deep in Call of Duty World at War. Nazi Zombies are great too. I am ozzymandos on both the PSN and XBox 360.
I go missing
No longer exist
One day
I hope
I’m someone you miss
I've been playing Astro Empires and loving it.
