Picked up Half-Life 2 over the weekend and can't stop playing it.  For a game that is just okay in my eye's I have no idea why I'm drawn to play it.  Maybe with all the load screens every 5 minutes there are message's saying:  You will play this game till the cows come home.

btw Tony, you're invited to the tournament Josh, me, and others will be setting up in February

No. Unless you enable items, and don't use final destination and allow me to use people other than fox. Then I'll think about it. But I don't like Smash Bros very much and am not very good at it.

Nanostray - At first it looked quite good but it seems a bit shallow after a while. I'm getting annoyed doing the same three levels over and over because it has too many bullets on screen at once.

Metroid Prime Hunters - I'm enjoying this very much. Except I'm getting cramps in my hand from holding the DS with one hand and using the stylus on the other. It's fine when the stylus is the only thing I'm using but that doesn't happen in this game. I need a thumb on the D-pad while I'm holding it with the same hand.

More Mass Effect. Finally unlocked the Renegade achievement.

I'm past 2/3rds of the way on my 2nd playthrough. Just beat Benezia. Have only 2 systems to go, then Virmire, and the ending.

Hardcore seems to be appropriately balanced in difficulty if you're playing through the 2nd time with your original character. Many of the battles are definitely tougher, but that makes them more satisfying when you finish them.

I hooked my Xbox back up loaded my save file on Futurama shot 3 guys and then everyone in the house decided to come into the licing room because i am doomed to never play home console TVs ever again.

Mass Effect.

Finished my 2nd playthrough on Mass Effect. Awesome! Went a different path towards the end and got a 2nd ending. I think there's at least 1 more but I'm not sure.

I'll be writing a review after Christmas.
