I'll start the ball a rolling!
Today i've played Turok 3 and if was GREAT fun!
I got to the first boss and after a few tries I caaaannned 'im!
I love "Behead the Dead" - brillaint game with a brillaint name!
That's gotta be one of the best things I've seen about this game so far, when you see a zombie get-up and walk towards and then *BANG!* - off with his head that goes rolling-away! :D
I think I will really get into this game soon, mainly because of all those other games. I think the Single Player's pretty good, but I still prefer Die Hards'.
I've also been playing FIFA 2003, and have started my second season with United. Not doing too-badly, although I lost to Wolves on the opening day of the season thanks to Dean Sturrdige, on Proffesional difficulty.
I also played Lylat Wars yesterday, and went straight-through while managing to complete it! :D
I've been missing it since I got StarFox Adventures, which I haven't played for a while. That may have some good flying sections, but they're far-too-short!! I'm looking forward to StarFox Armada, and picking-up where I left-off with StarFox again.
It seems that I've mastered the Semi-Pro difficulty now, yet I still want to complete this season with it now just to fully-master it - despite what my EA Assistant says to me every match.
I also seem to score 4/5 goals-per-match now, while still conceeding a few. I always seem to conceed first, and then score loads, conceeding again right at the end. Kluivert's finally found his feet though - he and van Nistelrooy have now scored 33 goals each (66 goals together) in all competitions!! I also signed Hofland earlier today, and yesterday replaced Phil Neville ('Boro) with Escudé yesterday. I'll sell Blanc at the end of the season too.
I have tried the Broadcast one, but I don't like how it tilts suddenly when you get into the 18-yard box.
Shame there's not a Custom Camera or anything where you're able to position it exactly how you want. And you can even zoom-in and out like in ISS. If it wasn't for the Camera Angles, this game would probably be near-to-perfect.

I use the 'Broadcast' camera angle, i find that view displays enough action around the pitch to prevent too many mis-placed passes. The controls take a couple of hours to get used to but are fully worthwhile practicing until mastering them, the first time you send a player on a run then play a through ball to him and he scores from the edge of the area is a very satsifying gaming moment indeed :)
I've mainly been trying to get used to the controls, and odd Camera Angles. But I can already see this game being better than ISS 2 - just like so-many have already said.
Over the weekend I've been playing my 2 new N64 games Diddy Kong Racing and Jet Force Gemini, aswell-as picking-up from where I left-off with Zelda: OoT back in June when I got my 'Cube.
I was stuck for ages trying to find the 4th Carpenter in Zelda, but I luckily found him yesterday, and was able to move-on! :D
I haven't crossed the desert yet though. Instead, I've been inside that Gerudo training place, collecting Silver Keys and trying to get their so-called "Treasure". Hopefully I'll get it done later today.
I also gave that 'Rabbit Guy' a race and lost while riding Epona.
Apparently, he beat me by just one second - even though I never saw him one! Must be a thing because I cheated and have to do it on-foot ONLY... D'oh! Looks like I'll have to do it the hard way then! Surely that'll take you more like 5 minutes though, and not 2:38??
