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?

Ocarina of Time.
Need for Speed: Underground arrived this morning, and, while I can of course admit it is far from perfect (not as distant as the last game, however...), I can see there is appeal within this game - and I'm not talking about the 'Townie/Boy-Racer' lure of "kittin' up" your "mint" cars... :P
Just like the NGC reviews said, the neon-lighting plastered all over the race-tracks can cause a fair deal of confusion when it comes to simply following the track ahead. Even on 'Easy', you can still end up in last place!
I'm not into crappy 'vinyls', lighting, spoilers or anything like that... But, I can still see some good things about this racer, underneath.
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System also arrived, with it (heh, I barely paid £30 for the 2 of them, brand-new! ;D ). I haven't had the pleasure of playing this one yet, though. From what I've read, it seems to have a strong story behind it. It should be quite 'fun'...
And for a game manual - just when I thought they'd all suddenly shrunk on us with another change in generation - it's quite big. Bloody big, in fact. And, it's only English! :)

Surely if you knew it was a motion sensor then its blatantly obvious, when putting two and two together, that you walk past it as slowly as possible.

Ahahahaahahaha you must be utterly rubbish. Pandora Tomorrow is one of the easiest games around.

Sell me Fifa for £10. GO ON you KNOW you want to.
I'm still playing FIFA 2004...
I really need a new game or maybe I should start playing Metal Gear Solid or Beyond Good and Evil... still sitting on my shelf.

Been playing through Pikmin again before the sequel comes out.. got a bit stuck on those bird neck things that come out the ground.. they decimated alot of my Pikmin army :( Still.. now onto Distant Spring level, so not far to go.
Oh and well done Solskjær for beating Skies, hope you enjoyed the ending :)

Pandora Tomorrow, and my god it's hard.
Took me about an hour to suss out how to get past the motion sensor. I didn't have a clue what it was, until I eventually tried walking past it slowly and it worked. The Paris stage sucks.

After finishing Skies of Acradia, I've really been lost on what to play for the past week-or-so...
I finally won Chelsea the title in Winning Eleven 6 (with 5 games to go; Kezman having already hit 21 so far!), but that's all I've actually played. I felt like Pool Paradise last night, or something short... But then, I didn't. Meh...
I've said I'll try and get back into and finish off Metroid Prime - after roughly a one-year absence/distraction from this brilliant game - and so, I intend to do that. Or, I could play XIII for the very first time, having had it sit there for 2 months now....
Oh yeah, I should also have 2 more games on the way this week:
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System and Need for Speed: Underground - and they barely cost me £30 together, brand-new! ;D
