Shenmue II Xbox - LOVE this game. So fun. I am wait for the day to end right now so I get go get this book from the Man Mo Temple.

What type of game is this? Is it action/adventure? Puzzle solving? I ask because I hear a lot about it, but from the box it's not very revealing about the type of game it is. I'm picturing that it's kind of like Dreamfall?

It's an adventure game with some action, rpg, and puzzle elements built in. It's really unlike anything else out there. However, if you do decide to get into Shenmue, you must get the first game on Dreamcast before the second one. Or you can pick up the second one since it's probably cheaper and see if you like it before looking for the first game. Also, make sure when you buy the first game that it comes on 4 discs...

Also, I got Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroits (Limited Editon) pre-ordered today! Can't wait until June to get this! At least I have the Metal Gear Online Beta to look forward to next month.

God of War: Chains of Olympus.

This is my first experience with the GoW games, and I gotta say, it kicks a lot of ass.

Got Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core today. Played it for about 2 hours and got so frustrated I had to turn it off. I started the game on the hard difficulty. I sure hope that fighting 15 guys at once becomes easier, or this is going to be one hell of a frustrating game.

EDIT: This game is disgustingly hard on the 'hard' mode. I have tried infiltrating the fort (which is the first part of the actual game storyline) probably 8 times now and can't beat it. There are no save points, and the limit system is completely random. FUCK!

EDIT 2: I'm done with this fucking game.

After beating Sword of Mana today I've played nothing but Pokemon Diamond, makes me feel like I'm 12 again . Otherwise I'm trying to figure out which game to start/finish next.

Right now i am halfway thru the Excite difficulty. With all S Rankings and all alternate paintjobs for  my unlocked vehicles.

Playing around with the Forge in Halo 3. Damn, there's a lot of fun stuff to do!

I just made a Rollerball map using Rat's Nest and came up with a new Gametype for it.

I can't stop playing House of the Dead III.

I bought an Xbox 360 and Rock Band last weekend, so that has taken up most of my gaming time.  I've downloaded like 30 songs already.

[phoenix1967]

^There's a lot of good songs. And that new Boston 6-song pack is a GREAT deal!

Played more ExciteTruck last night.
Then me and Aubs played a game of Mario Party 8.

Playing a lot of Crisis Core lately, but I'm growing fairly tired of it. I think I'll probably pop in something different after class tonight.. I just haven't decided what yet...
