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?
It's all just crazy.
Does that come with the Food-thingy, or do I need to speak to Daryl more?
I thought that guy was wierd enough when I caught him eyeing up my child from a discreet position, but then, I catch my boy singing "Moi moi moi moi moi!" :O
Heh, and then, Murray's talking about HIS OWN child! :P
I go back to Harvest Moon a lot too...
It gets boring then I go back to it... did a few months ago.
It seems now, to be, what Winning Eleven 6 once was. Something I'll pick to "kill time, just for a little while", yet, as one day passes, I'm still eager to see what'll happen in the next (even though, I - as many have already done - must admit it becomes one of the most linear and repetetive games around). I can't switch it off, that easily...
Perhaps it's because I just spent all my 30,000 Gs on the "Food Processor", and I'm eager to see how exactly this thing'll work?
I'm only in the third year; second year of Chapter 2.
Why is it that, whenever I spend a day at the Dig-Site, I only ever end up digging the same old pieces of crap. I only ever found one thing that impressed Carter, and that was on my very first dig!
What am I doing wrong, digging each space at least 5 times...?
I've also progressed a little further with The Simpsons: Hit & Run. Surprisingly, I grew quite tired of this game very early on, despite all that is said about games like this (GTA and its "clones"...)
The controls were a little fiddly to get used to at first, and I still haven't been able to inverse/uninverse (whichever I'm used to that it won't let me do) the look. Apart from that.. looks good, sounds good, plays good. Smashing computer monitors round rooms has never been so much fun.

How can games be *too* bizarre? That's half the attraction, the amusingly weird games. If it's that you can't play them.. :P
It's like Mario Party but with all the life injected back into it.
