I started playing two games again: Metropolismania and Animal Crossing: City Folk. I am giving Bully and MySims a rest for now.

Super Mario Galaxy. One of the best games of 2007 in my opinion. Music is great, level design is great, but a little too easy at some points.

Been playing Boom Blox mostly. Thinking of getting more video games. I don't know if I should get Rock Band Unplugged, Let's Tap or Mario Kart Wii.

Welcome to my world.

But let me see if I can help you.

I didn't know anything about Rock Band Unplugged till I saw an ad at Gamestop. I heard that this game plays a lot like Harmonix's old PS2 games, like Frequency. I say that if you want something you can play and take anyway Rock Band seems like a good choice.

Let's Tap looks like an awesome, innovative game. If you are the type that likes quirky games then Tap its your choice.

Mario Kart Wii is the most robust of the three. Not only does it have a lot of things to unlock through the single player mode both local and online multiplayer modes are excellent.

You have three great options, just go with the one that fits your needs the best. Playability on the go, quirky innovation or beefy gameplay with online modes.

Don't know if I want to get Let's Tap now. Been getting mixed reviews from gaming sites. I may still get it though. I've been known to buy video games even though they got bad reviews. Right now, I've narrowed it down to either Rock Band Unplugged or Mario Kart Wii. I wonder if I can find just the game and not one that has the wii wheel.

Bought Mario Kart Wii yesterday. I like it so far. Only got to play for about ten minutes last night before it was time to go to bed. Would have won my first race had a Koopa not shoot out a blue shell at me just as I was about to cross the finish line.

I rented Ghostbusters: The Video Game for my Wii Saturday. I thought it was okay. I am still getting used to the controls.

I also played Mario Kart Wii using the Wi-Fi connection. I thought it was just insane when I played it. There were blue shells shooting all over the place.

Played a bit of Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2. Still a lot of quests to do in that game even though I finished it a while back.

By the way, can anyone please provide me with a good cover-art scan for Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus?

I haven't played it yet but I'm really hyped about Tekken 6! I'm also really glad that it's coming to the 360 this time as it's always been exclusive to Playstation. Bring on Nina baby! :D

I started to play Dokapon Kingdom with some friends. It's supposed to ruin all friendships. Been feeling the need to play video games all the time since there's a REAL good chance that I'll get to go see Video Games Live while I'm at San Diego Comic Con.

I downloaded Swords & Soldiers from WiiWare and I have been playing that lately. It's a fun game, worth the download so far.

Finished Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for PSP.

Long story short, get this game, even if you haven't played the original. This game is top-notch on all levels, and is easily one of, if not, the best PSP games out there!

RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

I have been replaying Burnout 3: Takedown on my PS2 for the past few weeks. It's pretty fun playing crash mode, but I am annoyed because it keeps telling me to insert a DualShock controller when there is already one plugged in :evil: .[/b]

I played a bit of the Dissidia demo.

I'm really not impressed by it.
