I also picked up Fable over Thanksgiving!

I bought an Xbox as well, and it was the first game I decided to get.

Do you even know what a challenge is? Man, you need to play Ninja Gaiden or something.

Actually the Action Replay is great for adding life to games you've already beaten. Not to mention the fact that it's got the FreeLoader built in so you can play Japanese Imports. PS2's action replay offers a vast array of options as well. Including support for multi-region DVD's, DivX files, and Genesis games.

Ninja Gaiden was lots of fun.

Mario Power Tennis is fun but those power shot animations are going to get old real fast. I wish there was a way to disable them. I feel like I wouldn't be missing much if I just loaded up Mario Tennis for N64.
Edit: My bad, found option for disabling power shots yay

Tales of Symphonia is visually refreshing but I haven't gotten use to the interactive battle system yet.

Fable looks incredible already and I can tell is going to be lots of fun to play. Reminds me of Morrowind except with more structure and light-heartedness.

Metroid is alright as I suspected. Controls aren't my favorite and I'm not looking forward to the maze of levels.

A cheating machine. Or, if you prefer, a 'gaming enhancer'.
It also plays imported games.

I've got an AR for my GC. Wanted a Freeloader, but decided on an AR when I learned that it also had cheats. It's cool, but not much cheat support for PAL games.
