I've been playing Wild ARMs Advanced 3rd, Lost Odyssey, and Phantasy Star Online...
I have this incredibly long list of games that I've never finished, so that's the reason for WA3.
I'm savoring Lost Odyssey because I'm loving it so much and don't really want it to end. I'm trying to get EVERYTHING. All the side quests, optional bosses, etc. Master all the skills...
And I play PSO to put myself to sleep at night when I'm having trouble sleeping. Something about doing the same shit over and over and over again while lying in bed cuddled up with my moogles... I want to go home and take a nap now...lol.
I've also been playing GTA IV vicariously. I tried it, but
OMG, HOW THE HELL DO YOU DRIVE THIS IS GAME?!?!?!?! The rest of it is lots of fun, though, but I can't drive. So my son has been playing it while I watch and provide "back seat driver" type suggestions. I'm really enjoying it. The main character has depth and personality. There are moral choices. It's like playing a RPG. I kinda feel sorry for my son, though, since I made him take the character to a strip club (and a private dance) and pick up a prostitute (and paid the $70). My son has more fun shooting, fighting, and whatever than picking up whores, I guess. /shrug I was disappointed. I expected worse from a game that the media frenzy is calling pornography. I was sitting on the couch saying, "What the fuck? I want to see titties! We're paying for a private dance and she's got PASTIES on! I want to see titties!" My son was cracking up and he said, "Oh my gosh, mom... I wish my friends from school were here. They'd be like OMG..." In any case, I only get to "play" GTA IV this way on the weekends when there's no school and no homework.
I had read about Boom Blox, but I, too, wasn't interested after watching videos of it. I suck at MSG games, but I'll be "playing" that one vicariously through my son, as well. Thankfully, he's got skillz... (When he plays RPG's and is stuck or needs boss fighting strategies, I return the favor.) The World Ends With You was too complicated for me. That two screens at the same time thing screwed me up. My son's loving it, though. I think I'm on Chapter 2 of Mana Khemia, so maybe I'll pick that up again. Haven't touched it in awhile...
I'm gonna go check out the import game store after work today, too. Maybe I'll find something to tickle my fancy there. I'll let you guys know.
