I don't know why, I finished Zelda and decided to return to my older titles rather than lunge into any new ones (Pokemon soon yay). I should really play the still far from complete Metroid but that bores me so I had a laugh a minute blast on the frankly excellent and addictive Timesplitters 2, had some mates over to play it too. This is turning out just like Perfect Dark on how much I play it.
So go on what have you been playing? and why?

Same here as i've owned or completed almost all of them, except for the original which i got up to the 6 dungeon and couldn't continue, but the only one I gave up trying to complete was the pathetic sequel The Adventures of Link, i tried to play it but i coldn't get the feel for it.
It's was nice to finally meet up with Captain Drachma again - and, so long as the sequel does come around, I can't help buy feel he will almost certainly pop back up again; perhaps in a Falco-styley way of which we saw at the end of Lylat Wars on the N64?
I thought the story behind the Purple Gigas and Drachma was brilliant, also.
I also gave the very original Super Mario Bros. a go when it arrived on Saturday, or Friday...
Heh, it was so funny playing that game again; the way it is meant to be. It starts off as being so slow. The controls feel real 'sluggish'; memories start to come flooding back... As repeptitive as it is, really, you don't really notice. You still hate those underwater levels, and I made a number of "ambitious" leaps-of-faith that saw me plummet to my death, several times. ;D
But, to have reached World 6 on my first day back with this classic... Not bad at all, if you ask me. And now, I only want more! :)
Now I can safley say all Zelda games published by Nintendo have been given a good play through by me.

Sick, sick boy.
I really want to continue with Skies, but I'm finding it hard to gain enough free hours in the evening to prepare myself for the lengths of time even a 'small' section of this game will so easily occupy.
