What games do I game? Weekly T_T

-I've recently gone into a "I have to actually beat these games" mode and have progressed through a good chunk in Prince of Persia for the Xbox 360. A lot of reviewers felt this game was too easy and consumer friendly and penalized it very harshly. I feel they overexaggerated about this aspect of the game. I love the game's artistic direction and love taking in the view as I platform through the world flawlessly. The battle system is fun and keeps you on your feet and the AI for you travel companion, Elika, works out to your benefit as she is more of an asset than an annoyance.

-I had free time on the road and was able to play Big Bang Mini! An extreme vertical shooter with clever mechanics and a charming presentation I had exciting time playing it. I think anybody who is a fan of the genre should check this one out.

-My friend asked me to get Killzone 2 but in return he's getting Resident Evil 5 today. We were able to play a few matches and I can't explain how amazing I feel about the online play. A single match can have up to 5 rounds of different game types such as capture the flag or territories and each of these rounds can be up to 25 minutes each. The results are you can choose to play either a quick round or play multiple rounds with the same people for hours trying to win the overall match. Playing the latter puts a sense of importance and meaning into your victory as you put so much effort in. The game also runs great, has a varied assortment of weapons, fun character classes to choose from, and gives you the feel of playing with many more people that are actually playing.

I've also had a little time to play Street Fighter 4 and Bioshock, but what about you? What games are currently slipping down your bib?

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (which you let me borrow). The animation smacks of Aha's "Take on Me" video back in the 80's (though it takes place in 1979). It's a decent mystery game, really relaxing.

I'm just waiting until my bro is done with Fire Emblem, that's all.
