Ah yes, I have that waiting for me too. My sisters actually (almost) beat it before me. But it's their DS, so that's fine. I'll need a few weeks of vacation to play it, because they won't lend me their DS.

Oh and I want to buy SMG, but I have no time for that either... Growing up is such a flipping waste of talent.

God, I have a terrible case of video game ADD. I will start a game play it for a week or so then for no reason start another game. So I have about 20 games I am part of the way through. I tend to go back to them every now and then. Right this moment I am playing Mario Party DS and Dragon Quest 8. As well as a little Front Mission for the DS

Really? As a gamer who had a love affair with KOTOR I'm suprised by that opinion. I'm only on Feros and its already blown away both KOTOR games in my opinion. The mix of shooting and RPG elements alone has changed the way that action RPG's will be designed in the future, IMO. And FINALLY I can hear myself talk in a dialogue heavy game!

Glad you enjoyed it, though.

I recently purchased The Witcher for PC and have been pleasantly surprised.

It's kind of an action RPG leaning towards the RPG side. The combat system is interesting. A little shallow, but just fine. I wish the magic system was a little deeper as well. But, the graphics are great, the story is great, and the content is a little more mature than usual, which is refreshing.

I also just got Super Swing Golf 2 for Wii as a belated X-mas present.
It's pretty good. Loading times are not fun. It needs a little Anti-Aliasing. But, it is nice to play a couple holes now and then. The swing controls are pretty good. Better than I expected.

I'm still playing Supreme Commander for PC. I'm totally addicted that game. Fantastic game, very chaotic and challenging. Not for the light-hearted.

Hmmmm, games that I've started but not yet finished:
RE4 (Wii)
Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii)
SSX Blur (Wii)
KOTOR2 (PC) It's locking up in the same exact spot, I'm so pissed
Neverwinter Nights 2 (PC) So close to finishing it

I've been renting it from BlockBuster. I love it also.

But I can't beat the mission where you have to help that robot destroy the garbage with the aid of bob-bombs.

Perhaps the most infuriating factor of this mission is you only have 30 seconds to complete it. If I had unlimited time, I could do it for sure.

But c'mon, 30 seconds? And how does this tie into the plot to make a plauisble, realistic story. Wait, let me guess: If I don't clean up the garbage in a timeline of 30 seconds, the Evil King Black Hole will destroy the Mushroom Kingdom once and for all!

And perhaps the biggest kick in the face of all, is that if you don't complete it in 30 seconds, Mario dies and you have to try again. Why he dies is anybody's guess. I guess they figure everyone who plays this game is also too high out of their minds to notice in the inconsistencies in the story in terms of realism.

Sometimes, I'm convinced I could pull better story developers out of my arse. I mean, are these people heavily sedated and under the influence of pot 24/7 when they make these games?
