Lots of online gaming these days. Rift is great and Biohazard is awesome to play in short bursts. I'm a very happy gamer right now.

CoD: BO - Decided to prestige and have spent most of my gaming time trying to recover everything I lost.
Assasin's Creed 2 - The game (as well as all of the DLC) is on sale on the PSN store for $10. Still way early into the game.
Super Stardust HD - Got it as one of my free games. Looks and plays pretty good.

I can't begin to recall how many "up till 4am" on a school night I had due to that game. That and Military Madness for the TG-16 were awesome.

Yeah, top game, it's the reason why I bought a MD (that and Golden Axe). Deep order system, nice graphics, love the sound effects a lot.

I also like the Dune rts games on MD, the tactical options aren't as fine-grained as in Herzog Zwei but it's fun fooling around with factories and expanding your base.

Heh... I must admit that I slightly prefer building up stuff and wrecking enemies and enemy installations over actually winning a round... :D

3DS

Super Mario Land - I never played this when it first came out (I was more of a Game Gear aficionado), but have since corrected the error of my ways. It was a fun game, but the controls were touchy, even compared to other Mario games. I had a hell of a time on the first play through, but nowhere near as bad a time the second play through. I think I expected it to play like any other Mario, in which I can keep my finger on the run button at all times. Doing that in this game caused me to die countless times. Once my small, pea-sized brain, figured that out, it was pretty smooth sailing.

The various level themes were different, real different. While there is nothing really new to themed levels in a Mario game the moai, Asian, plane and submarine levels had to take Mario a little out of his comfort zone.

The new 'super shot' flower upgrade added some strategy to the play, too. No longer could I simply spam the fire button and expect to kill enemies, but I had to actually aim for my targets and hope it hit within the 50+ bounces it got before it ran out and I could shoot again. The trade off for this (if you want to call it that) is that now I could pick up coins with it. A nice bonus, I suppose, but I did miss being able to spam the fireballs.

I appreciate the save state-esque 'Restore Point' that Nintendo has given us with the VC, but can't understand why I can't assign buttons how I would like. This isn't the early ninety's anymore Big N, it's not gonna ruin your game if I change the layout for run and jump so that it's more enjoyable. B+
