However, the new Harry Potter game is actually fun, which is something I never thought I'd say about a Harry Potter game.

You of all people should read reviews before you purchase a $60 game.

The ONLY good Transformers game to date was the one from Atari for PS2 back in 2004. A f**king great game.

Oh, and playing the ass out of Pilotwings 64 at the moment.

Call of Juarez 1/2

World of Warcraft

Okay, I admit, mistakes were made. But not all franchise games are bad. Spiderman 2 (though SPidey 3 sucked, like the movie), Goldeneye, the new Harry Potter game, those are good. Only MOST franchise games suck. May the gods of gaming forgive my sins.

MGS3 crushes 2 under its thumb.

You have to play Shadow of the Colossus, Bully and the first Katamari Damacy. Other than that the PS2 has little to offer. If you want to scrape the bottom of the barrel than Okami is okay, but it put me to sleep.

I borrowed Okami from a friend about a week ago and all I can say is... Wow. I'm 28 hours in and I don't see when the end is coming. I love the story, characters, gameplay, graphics, everything.

My favorite game has been Ocarine of Time for a long, long time and I think I finally found the game that passes it in almost every element. The gist of OoT's story and general gameplay (compared to other Zeldas anyway) are fairly derivative but Okami avoids that. There are dungeons, yes, but they tend to be shorter and there isn't a group of items/characters you're looking for(like sages, crystals, etc.).

The whole paintbrush idea is fantastic. It changes battles so much, especially with the variety of enemies. It's not just slashing with swords, it's using basic attacks along with powers you paint.

It's also one of the most beautiful games I have ever seen. It's cel-shaded in a traditional Japanese style and it looks amazing. The movies that are shown when you restore an envrionment just astound me.

Although it has a lot of similarities to Zelda (like Amaterasu's companion Issun being annoying like Navi) but it just surpasses it in every category. Except music. While very pleasant to the ears, you just can't beat a Zelda soundtrack.

Dont know Shadow..., bully doesnt really appeal to me and I really dont like games like Katamari. However, I absolutely addore the Gran Turismo games and love the Prince Of Persia series as well as Devil May Cry and God Of War. Zone Of The Enders was fun and the likes of Red Faction and Killzone are great. PS2 has plenty to offer.

I love playing Call of Duty 3 online.  Too bad my free month of online is over...
That game rocks though online.

So here's this giant enemy crab!



I'm playing Lufia: Ruins Of Lore for GBA still, and about to attempt to tear into Tales Of The Tempest for Nintendo DS, but I'm a bit intimidated.  It's a text-heavy Japanese RPG, and all I've got to get me through is a rough translation guide

But mostly, I've been playing Yu-gi-oh: World Championship 2007 against Robby.  I know, I know, it's Yu-gi-oh, but it's fun.  I've never seen the show or played the card game, but playing the card game on the DS is kinda fun, lots of strategy.
