Oh and I'm playing through Ghost Recon 2 single player, think I'm on one of the last levels which is nice as it does get damn frustrating towards the end.

My only qualms with the game really lies in technical things that don't hamper the game that much.
One of these niggles is simply that enemies respawn, although it's good for picking up Karma (the currency) it does mean that if you've saved in certain areas or enter the wrong room you're set upon by enemies that you'd just killed.
The only other problem is the non-skippable cutscenes. Although the CGI-created cutscenes are works or art and generally superb they could become a little tedious. I'm fine rewatching it at the minute but being stuck on a particularly tough boss and having to keep seeing the same cutscene woule start to grate.

I picked up Ninja Gaiden from HMV today
And ... it's BLOODY AMESOME :D
I didn't pick it up sooner simply because the price tag was so high and everyone said it was as hard as nails to progress through. I'm pleased I bought it as it's so much more than a hack'n'slash.
The closest analogy, for those that haven't played, is the DOA fighting mixed in with an epic Shenmue-esque plot and Otogi type items and chapters. The game has some superb RPG elements, including things like raiding bodies (KOTOR style)
The graphics are the best I've ever seen in an Xbox game. It's that simple. The cutscenes are just, well, real and the in-game graphics display textures very crisply.
A definite 'try before you buy' whatever you're into, you won't regret it and you'll get addicted quickly. It is still rock hard though, that was no exaggeration ;)

Just got Summit Strike. So I've been playing that today. ;-)
It's like Doom 3 but in third person, with new creatures and it's set in a prison.
Really good.
I got it for £10 about 6 months ago: so it should be dirt cheap now.

whats that like? Ive been meaning to pick it up for a while now, theres a sequel due out soon and apparently how you played through the first game affects the events in the second - it loads up your completed game data.

Slow motion prolongs the effect but doesn't make it that much more impressive as the cars stay in the air anyway.
One of my favourite things is using the Gimp suit to gain the women armed with "toys" who cluster around you and then use the "Max Respect" cheat. Finish it off with "Recruit anyone".
I had some good fun yesterday in Las Venturas as I created a seven 'homie' team consisting of a Policeman, a motorbike Policeman, all four kinds of Elvis, a woman and (just for fun) one of the stereotypical tourist old-men.
All I can say is ^_^ and the fact that you can choose the armed with 9mm or armed with Rocket Launchers adds to the experience yet again.
