Started The Conduit yesterday. Controls are a little frustrating but I'll get used to them. I'm waiting on Final Fantasy XIII. One more day! My financee and I are going to a midnight launch of the game.

Worms 2: Armageddon - I downloaded this for my XBOX 360 a while back. It's pretty fun as well as hilarious (especially when the enemy worms accidentally kill themselves).

The Secret of Monkey Island: SE - One of the main reasons I got an Xbox 360. It's a little fun, but not really what I was expecting (and I am currently stuck).

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - A pretty funny RPG game that I am putting aside for a while.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth - Recently got this for my Nintendo DS. It's kind of fun so far, but it can get frustrating at times. I am putting it aside now for...

Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon - Ordered this Friday and got it Yesterday. It's kind of amusing so far, but I am still figuring it out.

Got in about an hour of Final Fantasy XIII before an overwhelming need to sleep set in. I went to a midnight launch for the game at Gamestop. I managed to turn my feet into ice cubes and I have a little bit of a headache, but I survived. Next time, I'm getting a spot in line where I can't see the game boxes behind the counter.

I purchased FFXIII yesterday and got in a few hours. I'm past Chapter 1 and now in the icy Chapter 2. If there's anything wrong with this game, it's that it's linear, but it's great nonetheless.

Got in some more Final Fantasy XIII. I like how all of my HP is restored after every batlle. Saves me on potions.

Any thoughts? deals?

I really want HeartGold but it's so darn expensive. Amazon, as far as I've seen, is the cheapest at $34.99. But why in the world is SoulSilver $32.58? It makes me kind of mad cause I want HeartGold moreso than SoulSilver. I am running out of money though, so I'm going to see if my mom wants to go halfsies on it so I can still have money to buy The Princess and the Frog on Tuesday.

If you played the original Pokemon Gold or Silver verisons, then yes. If you haven't played them, you can still get HeartGold or SoulSilver if you're intrested. Are you a Pokemon fan? If so, then you should definitely get Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver or both.

Now if you're new to Pokemon, then you might want to give it a try if your're intrested. I'm thinking of getting Pokemon HeartGold myself because I want to try the Pokemon franchise again. It's been years since I've played any Pokemon game, so I'll likely make a return on this one.

As far as which one to get, I don't know what to tell you. Pick something that you think appeals to you more.

Im not new to pokemon. It's just been awhile. I've only really last played Pearl, and only played through once. Got bored exchanging with the gameboy games.

anyway, fired up the Wii and trying to see what's new. I can say, after so much PS3, It's kinda hard to adjust to the resolution. the Nintendo Week show is a big ad, but has a slightly awkward yet charming production style.

Now, I'll buy pokemon if I have enough $$$.

And Lego Harry Potter better have good controls.

I recently picked up Pokemon HeartGold for my DS, so I have been playing that for a bit. I have been switching between that and Ace Attorney Investigations.

I'm going to get one of the Pokemon games for my daughter for her birthday or Easter and I'm getting Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey next week. A couple of games I've gotten recently through trading and started to play are
Nightmare Before Christmas - GBA
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga - PS2
Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice - DS
Pikmin - GC
Mario Party - N64
and a bunch more.
I've had fun with all of them though.

I've been playing Pokémon Soul Silver for the past few days. Haven't made it very far yet due to the fact that the only time I have to play is when I get home from work in the morning and after baking for eight hours my eyes don't stay open very long.

Good to be back in Johto though and I love having the Pokémon follow you again (like back in Yellow version, but thank goodness it doesn't have to always be Pikachu this time).

Other than that I've just been playing Donkey Kong 64 and Super Mario Bros. on the good old retro platforms of N64 and NES.
