Played some Halo 2 system link multiplayer mayhem last night. 8 players. We also had 2 different 4 player split screen Far Cry going on; unfortunately, Far Cry system link only supports 1 player per xbox/set.

Played Burnout Revenge and Jade Empire so far today.
Both on Xbox.

I think i am losing my taste for games.
Burnout wasn't as fun as it has been.
Jade Empire didn't give me that feeling of "Ooh what do these people have to say that will expound upon the story and give me more insight?" type of feeling i usually get from playing RPGs.

Today has been pretty dissapointing....

I just handed Dagoth Ur the pwn.

I haven't posted here in a while... let's see...

I beat God of War, picked up Final Fantasy X again(I don't see everyone's obsession with that game, I'm about 16 hours in and think it is only mediocre), started a new file in Final Fantasy 4 with the ATB bar at level 2 speed(1 is insanely fast), about to beat Final Fantasy(I'm in the final dungeon), and I've been playing Metroid Prime Hunters on and off.

Also I'm going to start playing another Super Metroid hack called Metroid Limit.

I played:
Burnout Revenge - at 85-87%
Jade Empire - I only got to the cave in the marshes. Trying to find/save Dawn Star.
Nanostray - Just messed around on normal and hard modes.
R-Type III - Only got to the end of the first level then started playing Xbox since the TV was free.
Halo 2 - Beat my bro in a snipers match on Lockout. I was surprised how much better i did from the last match with him. He is still playing ALOT and i am still not playing at all.

Also played a shit load of Boggle. Not a video game but i kicked ass at it.
Fun "family" game. More fun without kids though since you can come up with better words and have to deal with fewer fake words.

And played Monopoly. There were only 3 people but i knocked the other two out in a few hours. I only won so easy because i ended up with all 4 railroads the whole street bewteen Jail and Free Parking and the shitty purples.
Hotels were alot cheaper for me so i built them up and kept them from making enough money to build their own.
Plus i got really lucky rolls

Played Texas Hold 'Em on PokerStars.net yesterday.
Played the Tomb Raider: Legend demo; I'm liking this one!

Jade is one of those games that keeps getting better the further you get into it. Some of the characters that will be added to your party are quite funny and add a lot to the enjoyment of the game.  

When he's added to your party, talk to the scientist...a lot. And be sure to play through all of the minigame shooter missions.

I just beat Phoenix Wright.  I'm starting Sonic Rush now for the DS.

Further delved into the map features of FC: Evolution. Apparantly, if you've saved map files in FC: Instincts that a friend created, it doesn't look like they can be imported into FC: Evolution. You can import your own creations without any problem, though, which is a good thing.

To save your friend's maps from FC: Instincts for play on FC: Evolution, it seems that you'd have to have them save them on their xbox as a FC: Evolution file, then copy them to a memory card, and transfer the save files to your xbox as a new FC: Evolution map.

Although I didn't save any more new maps, the new brush set (forest) and facility set (refinery) add a lot to the creative possibilities.

Picked up Sid Meir's Pirates! from the library. Hopefully my computer can handle it.

Since when do libraries have PC games?
Or games in general for that matter?

I played Super Smash Bros. Melee for about 30 mins today.

I wish i hadn't and just came straight home so i could have spent more time freaking out about this massive assignment that i don't understand at all.

One of my library systems (I can go to four different systems) has lots of PC games, no consoles though and nothing M rated except Half Life. I'm not sure why they have games, but I sure don't mind.

95.64% towards 100% in San Andreas, Taxi Missions are

Played some Noah's Ark and Trolls in Crazyland yesterday for the first time...I'm amazed at how good most of the PAL exclusives are.  All but one that I've tried so far have been pretty good.

Pirates! is pretty cool. Some new stuff and slightly better graphics. I still prefer my NES version though. And I can't learn the damn dancing. Plus my comp gets laggy in dancing scenes for some reason.
