First post! YES!

So, what have you guys been playing? That's the usual question that Iga posts at the begining of the week, so I'll help keep the tradition.
I've been playing Animal Crossing City Folk, and it will indeed be my GOTY 2008. I'm having a lot of fun with it, and it's just as addictive as ever. I also played several levels of Mirror's Edge which is great. It becomes a little repetitive after a while, but still very fun. Tomb Raider Underworld (Wii) sucks, so I might rent the 360 version once I'm done with Mirror's Edge.
I played LBP for the first time in a store.
I want to play more.

So it turns out rather than buying Call of Duty: World at War, I just reinstalled MOH:AA onto my computer. Instead of buying C&C:RA3, I just brought my C&C:RA2/Aftermath CDs back to university with me. Instead of buying Fallout 3, I realized it probably sucks. And I obtained World of Goo.
Only De Blob remains on my Christmas list now

What have I been playing: Old stuff (story of my life.) Played about 5 minutes of Wii Sports tennis and 5 minutes of Guitar Hero III with my sister and her friends. Logged into Combat Arms just to install patches and see what things are like lately. Played some NSMB on my DS on the way home for a little bit. About 3 hours of World of Goo (that game is fucking hard)... that's about it.
I need to buy Fable II, and rent Gears 2 soon. Fable II will most likely be my next game purchase.
Soon to be playing - Guitar Hero III.....
Been playing Super Luigi Galaxy. Found a few shortcuts and did the awesome jump again. Will finish it, and hopefully I will have saved enough money to buy Zack and Wiki!
Man, I know Galaxy like the back of my hand. I am now Mario/Metroid God. Tremble before me!

Good man!
I heard that rumour, the old rumor was that it was to have Nicholas Cage as the lead. Uhhhh, why can't they just leave it alone? There is actually an Indian Bollywood version that ripped the film and was sued called Zindi, you can find the trailer in some places
I have actually read part 1 of the original Japanese manga. It's pretty bland actually, Park Chan Wook is something of an auteur and he pretty much wrote and directed everything there. For instance the whole premise of the film, the ending that shocked, that was all him. The original manga is a black and white, basically written comic that I didn't even enjoy enough to buy part 2.
YODARIQUO
Thanks very much for that, I want to keep my code managable so I might just use your advice and do transparent borders and use gifs. With javascript we weren't really even taught properly, just handed a series of crappy exercises which no one cared to explain. It was hell.
You know you haven't got a bad idea there. I've bought a number of sequels to games and in retrospect I could have just stuck with the freaking first game and replayed it. As for me I've been playing this excellent DS game called Soul Bubbles, you guys can check out the thread I made for the videos, it's quite special. Also replaying Disaster Day of Crisis and Call of Duty World at War. Don't know what it is about COD5 but even with its pain in the ass instant deaths and rigid linearity and top it off with ridiculous, unfair even more instant deaths and it can still be compulsive, engaging and visceral, especially with IR control.
Unfortunately repeat play just shows up how rigid the levels are, their idea of open level design is giving you two similar paths each level. Left or right.
Yeah they're both fantastic games. There's a ton of things to do in Fable II. I just love the artwork in this game. Gears 2 just really blows me away sometimes with it's graphical prowess and is simply a blast to play from beginning to end. I also really liked the story in this one and it opens up some cool paths and things that can really be expanded upon.
Wow, slow news day!

EA Sports Not Selling on Wii
Duh? They are charging $50 for basically one sport per disk. Wii Sports has 5 different sports. Perhaps EA would be better off trying to beat Wii Sports at their own game by releasing their simplified All-Play Football, Golf, hockey, baseball and basketball for Wii on a single disk for $50? Casuals like to see value in their purchase, and one sports game for $50 isn't enough to persuade them to buy it when they already have Wii Sports.
Nice, not really interested in RE4, I finished the Gamecube version 7 times. Hmm de Blob for 20 pounds! Are these guys reliable, and I assume they ship in rest of Europe?
Impressions NOW!!
