Timesplitters 2
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?

Resi evil but im too scared to play it......
Umm... Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2), Kunoichi (PS2), Sword of Mana (SP) and er, Hyper Street Fighter 2 (PS2)
Well, for Christmas I had Fifa 2004, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Need for Speed: Underground.
I was really looking forward to Mario Kart, but Need for Speed has just taken over. The game is just superb and it's hard to stop playing.

Scrapped my Master League campaign with Leeds United for a fresh, new-start with Man United.
Things were getting a bit hectic for me on Hard mode...
Too-many goal-less draws; too many star-players; pain-in-the-backside CPU-opposition that can ALWAYS out-run even the fastest of your team....
I'd had enough.
And so, I'll start again. :)

I've take a liking to 1080: Avalanche. I was looking forward to this game initially, as I like snowboarding (even though I haven't been - yet), but at first, I was a little dissapointed with this game...
Perhaps it was because, while I found the basic controls to work a lot like a Tony Hawk's game, it still played differently? Maybe it was because I'd never played a snowboarding game before?
Whatever it was, it has now gone. And now, I like this game.
...But, like I always seem to do with the games everyone-else finds "easy"(eg. Excitebike 64), I am starting to struggle, a little, with the single-player side of this game, on the Harder difficulties.
I've also been enjoying the `Winter WonderlandŽ in my Animal Crossing, and becoming increasingly-frustrated with Winning Eleven 6, in my Master League season with Leeds. I won the things las season (on Normal), but on Hard mode, it really is becoming that HARD! I'm only 6th in the league; Alan Smith can barely score to save his life; and after a promising start in that competition at least, I flopped-out of the Cup to Bayern Munich - a game, in which, my players literally "lost it" towards the end; leavning the German-side with one-or-two "guests" on the treatment table!! ;D

The Donkey Kong Country series and Killer Instinct remain in my top 3 games of all time. Only beaten by Snowball in Hell.

That's what I've always said. Their games are always good... just once in a while they come up with something that stands out as classic.
SNES :- Killer Instinct, Donkey Kong
N64 :- Banjo K, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Conker.
Nuff said.
MM is easier doesn't make it worse.

I managed to get that for £20 the other day (RS3 that is)
Cannae wait to play it at Christmas, the demo was fantastic. The LIVE play looks good as well, but I'll only get to play it if I can get LIVE to work, which it probably won't... *sob*

Rainbow six 3. Becasue of it's fantastic gameplay and because of the fact you can bark orders at people via the headphones.
