Played through the first area of Sly Raccoon 1 and it's pretty neat. The stealthy levels seem a lot better than the more actiony ones. Only problem so far is the awful health system which made the crappy Crash Bandicootesq first boss pretty bad as well.

Yeah, I noticed that. Thankfully I think it got changed for something a bit better from Sly 2 onwards.

I tried Sonic Free Riders for myself and didn't like playing it much, but my brother can't get enough of it and is trying to do all the challenges. I just don't know how. Besides that, I finally tried out Sonic Colors and it's just fantastic. Best new Sonic game.

Epic Mickey - This game was just made for me! The whole setting and vibe is really breathtaking, add in some cool gameplay and then some RPG-lite choices to warrant a second playthrough and you've got one of the top 5 Wii games. I love the fact that after a solid 10 years Mickey Mouse finally gets a new decent game (after all, he used to have so many)

Sonic 4 - This game is fucking terrible. It's also brilliant. I can never really decide which view point to permanently take, there's brief moments of genius when the gameplay all flows and then there's all the other moments where cheap deaths and stupid gameplay cocks everything over. Mad Gear Zone is a pretty awesome return to form though.

Just Cause 2 - The testosterone fuelled explosions and sky diving have began to wear off in the face of dull repetition. The game's vast scope ends up hurting it, after 14 hours of gameplay and liberating settlements I've only got a 7.2% completion rate. I mean jeez.

Mario Kart Double Dash - The 2nd best Mario Kart game next to 64. Would love to see a return to this on the 3DS.

Yea. Playing it for a few hours and only getting like .2% completion from it can be annoying. Still it's a good game to pick up and play every now and then.

This is exactly how I felt.

You kind of hit a zen-like zombie state when playing it. Parachute, grapple, dive, shoot, grapple, parachute, grapple, shoot, liberate, grapple...it's pretty cool.

Borderlnds here. A genre I dislike (can't say hate cause I enjoy a few fps games) with a genre I love. Quite an awesome game though I hate how the driving works.
Also playing golden sun 2. Easily one of the GBA longest games

DJ Hero 2. It's Guitar Hero, but with a deck controller and an awesome setlist. I like the game but hate the difficulty. Medium's getting repetitious, but Hard is to difficult at the time being. Gotta keep practicing...

Pokemon Black: I'm not very keen on it atm, theres troo much emphasis on holding your hand & telling you exactly where to go, Plus some of the trainers will heal your pokemon for you out in the wild, thats just going to make it a lot easier than it already is (1st 2 gyms tell you exactly what type of pokemon to use & basically hand that kind of pokemon to you)
