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?
PoP:WW has been quite a challenge but once I come across a section that's difficult I would just try it again and again til I beat it. If any of you have faced more than Ninja women head on with 4 or 5 other creature types with them will know how frantic the battles can be.

With all the pearls? :D
Anyways, Mario 64 DS and Metroid Hunters in multi-player. Tales of Symphonia is making sure my Cube doesn't go overlooked either. Great stuff, it's never been a better time to be a gamer. Apparently.
Metroid Prime: Echoes - been playing for about an hour, so far the environments don't seem as good as the first game, and obviously it doesn't have the same impact as the original. Hopefully it'll gain some pace soon.
Bloody genius.
I've eased off playing it a little bit now, because I don't want to finish it so soon.
And I expected every star to be collected like the first (dungeon, boss, star). How foolish. So much quality.
Just completed it for a second time, and I think I loved it even more. Tis a truely excellent game, and with barely any other game have I wanted to complete it again so soon.

Last game I finished was Second Sight in September, Beyond Good and Evil (yes I did complete it) and Resident Evil 0 in August.
So I do finish them you know.
Currently playing PAper Mario 2. Got addicted to it for 4 hours straight earlier when I was meant to be doing homework. Chapter 4 here I come.
Brilliant game, Recommend it highly.
I know it wasn't that long ago, but I can't remember the last time I recently picked up Paper Mario and played it! :S
But, I LOVE this game - there's something seriously wrong here...
:(
Here I sit, on my one day-off, and I still feel like going straight back to bed! :S

Go for it ^_^ First time you'll have totally completed a game in a while, eh? The Waterwraith's attacks could be avoided easily when in the dungeon if you found a little wall you could chuck your Pikmin on.
Metroid Zero mission cost me my nights sleep, breakfast and lunch!
I think gaming is bad for my health...
I'm going cold turkey...
See y'all!
