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?

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Second time through the single player now, after just completing the original for the first time.
It seems much easier than the first, but it's fun and has some great graphics. And Sam Fisher is one of the coolest characters ever.

Mario Kart: Double Dash
A brilliant rendition of a game.
Seems a little lacking in features however, but it has replayability.

It was taken from a French comic book.

F-zero X. First time I've played it but I've owned it for about two or three months. So far I'm really enjoying.
Been playing lots of Echoes.
Stuck looking for the power bomb though, just been meandering around looking for something, with no luck.

Look out for their next Gamecube outing, "Fire Emblem" sometime next year.

Finished the Paper Mario sequel late this afternoon on my day-off of relaxation, and I'm not so happy to have finally been done with that wretched demon; much more so than the game itself!
Once I'm done with some of the smaller things I want to finish (like helping people on the message board), I'm really gonna miss this game, as something all-big and mighty will presumabley take its place.
I think this was my fifth attempt at the boss?
As long as you have a bag full of HP, FP and powerful items, though, it's really not that hard, after all.
That's what I did. I made the long trek out of the castle on Friday night and back into Rogueport where I could restock and refuel. I even gave the Pit of 100 Trials a go for the sake of finding that kiddy's dad. I got the level 60 having found the bag that allows you to store twice-as-many items and decided those badge-stealing shy-guys had already done enough damage.
Going back into the game, I had a great fortune of nearly 500 coins... Yet, all was gone again after purchasing Luigi's fifth book and some other stuff I'm never gonna need now.
I was a little P'd off to see you only get the ONE point for beating that damn thing with a 150HP also. Still, at least I get to see what everyone else is upto now - why can't many, many more games be like this???

Paper Mario is so inspiring. Game design at its best.
As for XIII 2 in comparison to POP 2? Well POP didn't actually do that bad just not as expected. BG&E and XIII just did badly.
Although BG&E has developed a cult following.
Perhaps there should be a campaign to continue these franchises or at least a following of avid supporters.
