Did anyone know that they have a game rental site similar to Netflix?  I found it a month or so ago.  If I played games more, I'd probably join.

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>yeah I've heard of it, but I can't afford another $20/month for 2 games at a time. Maybe if I cancel Netflix but I like watching anime more than playing PS2</div>

I've given up on games myself, only 1-3 new games a year from now on....

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I kind of noticed the problem when I realized I had over 40 Gamecube games, about 20 PS2, 4 Xbox games (I kind of gave up on the system, I can't find anything for it and I made a decision not to by non-exclusive titles for the system after Splinter Cell), and haven't even played through 10 of them yet. I had a similar situation with N64, PSX, and Dreamcast, not quite as bad though.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I played that for a bit at E3. It was tons of fun (for the 15 minutes I played it), definetely worth another look</div>

I'll be getting Jade Empire (it somehow slipped my mind). It looks very good.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>That will probably be the last one I get though. I have seen Fable and Halo 2, but neither of them seemed to spark any interest for me, so I think I'll be passing on those; besides, if I lower it to 3 games a year, there are other games coming out which I would rather play, namely Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2, Metroid Prime 2, Final Fantasy 12 (Yep, no more Roman Numerals, Square stopped using them as well. I don't know, I always hated Roman numerals past 3, they look so cheap and antequated =P), and Xenosaga Episode 2. Possibly Goldeneye 2 if it is anything like the original Rare one (and they don't try to mess around with "advancements" and make a technologically superior, but funfactor inferior game)</div>

Somehow, it's not overly surprising it "slipped your mind" :-)

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>There is no Ocarina 2, not this year. That's Wind Waker 2. And Goldeneye 2 is NOTHING like the Rare one, that's all about EA trying to capitalize on the old game</div>

I haven't been paying close attention to Xbox releases, sue me =P

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>It's not Wind Waker 2, that was just the name Nintendo gave to the Zelda game to throw off gamers. I know it's not Ocarina of Time 2 either, but that's what everyoness calling it. I think all the games I listed are out 2005, Metroid might be out this year, I am not sure. As for the new Goldeneye, screw it then, Goldeneye was the ultimate drinking/party game due to the short levels and head to head multi-player.</div>
