Very quickly, recent fun games as recommended by myself and/or SiFi. This is gonna be a good year for games!

- Gears of War (360). Led to 5am many times. i'd buy a 360 again just for this game. awesome on Live
- Star Trek Legacy (360/PC). Ignore reviews. fun to play, story kind of choppy & rushed.
- Rayman: Raving Rabbids (Wii). 'wtf', but a 'wtf' that says 'this is fun'
- Monkeyball (Wii). a schoolmate and I devoured an afternoon with this. Definite party game, worth the extra remotes/nunchuks.
- Zelda (Wii). dear lord Link isn't 8 anymore. no secondary camera controls makes the environment (and gameplay) feel stiff and directionally aggravating. horse also gets stuck on stupidest things. fishing fun again tho.
- Trauma Center (Wii). he's dead jim. he's alive jim. nope, he's dead jim. this title isnt tho!
- Rocket Slime (DS). Oh god why is it so cute and... tank battles? tank battles!
- NFS: Carbon (360). i bought it for the 08 dodge challenger. i wont lie.

Also, older fun games that i recently learned to enjoy

- NFS: Most Wanted (XTANK) Driving, driving, cops! Smart cops! (one day they'll make an accurate street racing simulator. With 88 honda civics and 97 pontiac sunfires. instead of decals, you choose where the rust is)
- Devil May Cry 1-3 (PS2). Just plain yay. EB has a boxset on for cheap.
- Nexus: The Jupiter Incident (PC). SiFi got me onto it. 3d semi-RTS from the makers of Imperium Galactica. Awesome sleeper title, great story, just fun. But difficult sometimes.
- Rampart (SNES). Build, shoot, destroy, repeat.

Stuff to watch for:

- God of War 2 (hopefully PS2. If not, i will cut off my whowhodilly)
- Legend of Mana (PS2). Remember Secret of Mana and Sword of Mana? Mana won't give up. But thats okay
