I continue to play Champions of Norrath (PS2) - Just started 4th act.

Morrowind (XB) - Just pass a third of the main quest.

New Super Mario Bros. (DS) - Got up to Land 6.

Yesterday I played a few PS1 games:

Incredible Crisis. Awesome collection of mini games strung into a wacky narrative. Unfortuntely it's also incredibly difficult. Could not get pass the third minigame.
No One Can Stop Mr. Domino. From the people who brought us Tail of the Sun. This game is incomprehensible.
MLB 2002. Pretty good.
Bravo Air Race. Impressive graphics.
Grand Theft Auto 2. Unplayable, but interesting to see the origins of the franchise.
Driver. More of a demo really. I thought it would have been more fleshed out.
Bust a Groove. Still Awesome. (Not to be confused with Bust a Move).

Incredible Crisis:

But that Forza 3 for $30 is with all the downloadable content as well. Pretty good deal really.

Anyway I've been playing F.3.A.R. in fact I just finished it. What a great game. The production values are very good. Nice graphics, solid gameplay, great music and sound effects, good AI, and simply just a whole lot of fun both offline and online. Very cool how the credits rolled to Danzig's "Mother". Definitely my favourite of the series and an easy 9 out of 10 for me.

Great, I like it alot. Its very similar to The Wii version of RE4...almost exactly the same controls.

Because of the type of games RE4 and RE5 are, imo they are just perfect for these kind of controllers and it made playing RE5 with a standard pad seem cumbersome. I think these games benefit more from these controls than nearly any other games out there.

I just got some sweet fucking news. I got an email a few days ago from my contact at Atlus that I finally got around to reading. She's sending me a package of goodies for Catherine and a few of their other games for my horror games panel.

Just had some good matches in UC2 tonight. For the life of me, I'll never understand why people rage when they die in a mp match. It is amusing to hear all the shit the call others.

I've posted this once before, I'll post it one more time. I just love the silliness of it! The whole game is just full of excellent humor and is just a blast to play!

Unlikely to be either the Catherine: Love Edition extras or a press kit. She told me that the things she picked out for me are things that would skew well towards the horror audience. I'm half expecting to see some Shin Megami things as well.
