Try the demo.
It's highly addictive.

I'm still playing Final Fantasy VI Advance for GBA and Final Fantasy XII for PS2.  Both are really good!

I like the license system actually.  But I usually end up saving a lot of the license points for later.  At least it's not the junction system from VIII....

But it's a long game so far.  I'm like 26 hours in so far (maybe?), and it's about 60 hours from what I've heard.

The only problem I have so far: I have to actually put aside time to train!  It's a tough game, if you don't keep up with training, it could kick your a**!

Replaying Final Fantasy X-2 lately.
 
I'll probably get FFXII once the price drops down a bit. Heck, FFX-2 is a lot of fun if you limit your possibilities on purpose to make the game more interesting. I love this game's battle system!

I agree, beat it 100% and am a solid 70-89 (70 wins 89 losses, really tough to even get a single win) online
 
Just beat God of War II on Titan, hardest mode.
 
Right now, nothing!

I want to play that game again, but I feel iffy about it.  I thought the storyline was very interesting, but I never liked the characters.  The battle system bothered me too, I felt like too much was going on at once.  I know it's similar to XII's battle system, but it just bothered me in that game.  I still intend to play it over the summer though.

Resistence is mind blowing, because its the guys who did Ratchet and Clank and they are geniuses and the gun concepts are amazing.
 
The graphics are beautiful if you ask me, and the gameplay is FLAWLESS!  It is incredibly fun online too!

It's the other way around for me, as I do not find the storyline to be particularly engaging, however, the battles are extremely exciting in this game. To make things harder, I've started a challenge for myself with the following rules: original dresspheres, no dresschange, goal - defeat Trema. Beating the game is nothing compared to going through the VI with (relatively) weak characters.

My wife just picked up God of War 2 for me, not too far into it but so far it's just as intense as the first.

Anybody check out Shivering Isles yet? I haven't been blown away by any of the other ESIV expansions so far, though Mehrunes Razor was pretty good.

I heard Manhunt 2 was coming out for Wii...how weird is that? I wonder how you'll wrap a plastic bag over someone's head using the Wiimote...Shocked

I got Stalker last week and have been playing it a lot, the 6 years of development were definitely well used. The atmosphere of the game is what I would imagine the Chenobyl area is like.

The AI in Stalker is phenominal, different species of mutants attack each other, and run off if you shoot them if they aren't in large number. The other stalkers, bandits and the military often end up fighting each other too. You can have missions take on a whole new feel because of this. For example; you've got a simple assasination mission and when you're about to assainate your target all hell breaks loose and you end up in a major battle with bandits fighting alongside your target.

The recommended spec is:
Core 2 Duo E6400/Athlon X2 4200+

Why would you want to rush through a new Zelda game when us gamers waited forever for a new Zelda to come out on a next-gen console?
