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?

I wouldn't ay that MM was the best Zelda game in my opinion, it was in fact quite short compared to Ocarina of Time, because it only had 4 dungeons whereas OoT had 8 plus Ganondorf's tower.
Also I found it quite easy because in MM I found EVERY item, mask, and heart pieces that the game had to offer, including the Feirce Deity's mask at the end.
I admit the end of game boss was hard without the deity's mask, but not life threating if you have at least all 20 hearts and some blue potions. But in ocarina of time there were at least 10 heart pieces I could never manage to get at all.

F-Zero GX and Mario Kart as i only just got them this morning!
Aye - my mum bought it brand new off here for my brother for Christmas last year and although originally excited by having it, he never played it. And thanks to him shortly after getting himself a PC and playing on his PS2 more, he ain't played his N64 since.
However, I have now bought his N64 off him - and am slowly purchasing all of his games - I haven't bought Conker off him yet, but I'm playing it - and its great fun! There's no messing, its pure hilarious gameplay :D
Oh how I missed the days of Rareware on the N64. They're not a perfect developer, but they made some excellent games for the big N.

Mario Party 4, Metroid Prime and Viewtiful Joe
To Dringo's delight, I'm sure, I have been playing Conker's Bad Fur Day for the first time.
I started playing Advance Wars 2, it was light.
I finished playing Advance Wars 2, it was dark.
THE DAY IS NOW DARK! ARGHHHHH!

I'm glad to hear Mario & Luigi has the original Mario 64 music. Although it doesn't quite live up to Mario RPG.
And the original ZElda music is in it.
Nuff said.

Yes but the interaction is 8 million times better, the 3 day loop allows EVERY character to do something different EVERY minute, they say something different depending on the mask, you play mini games with them that span so many days. collection masks is far more pratical than gold skultulas.
It is a smaller enviroment with so much more to do. SO BLOODY AMAZINGLY INTERACTIVE.
And VERY VERY DARK, the darkest Zelda so far. So moody as the moon prepares to wipe the world out... stunning graphics, glorious story. And the last great Zelda ending. Not to mention the twisted (but slightly easy) finale.
Saving system is a bit dodgy but being so involved in the lives of Clock down is beautiful and amazing. Being a Goron, A zora and a deku scrub is a fantastic idea. Best Zelda ever without a doubt.
