  • So what is everyone playing over the break?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I am going to finish up the five games I was working on throughout the past 4-5 months: Final Fantasy 10, Baten Kaitos, Final Fantasy III, Illusion of Gaia, and Ogre Battle 64 (been at this one since the summer, I am about 60 hours in now, I am not sure how much further I have to go, but I am making good progress). I have also started a new save in Majora's Mask and Prince of Persia 2 I just got a little while ago and have begun playing, and hopefully if someone remembers how I said I like getting Metroid games as Christmas gifts, I'll be playing Echoes as well =)

Although, by the sounds of it, a lot of you are already done playing Metroid, or a good ways through it. It is a possibility that I might get San Andreas as well, but I likely won't get it until it comes down in price since I am still GTA'd out from Vice City; no point spending 50 bucks for a game that I won't start playing until it's 20 bucks in stores (been there, done that too many times with too many games). I'm going to be on vacation for most of the break, so Terranigma will probably have to wait.</div>

Hopefully will get some combination of the following over Christmas: Tekken Tag, Kingdom Hearts, Animal Crossing, Katamari Damacy, Wind Waker. I have 4 years of gaming to catch up on...</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I still need to finish FFTA, with my mega beefed-up characters early in the game. I was scared off with the idea that I can't get 100% of the items in the game until I get Steal Weapon real early, but then again, I don't want to spend eons trying to build up the explore points to 30. It's also a damn shame that I need a second player to get some of the weapons.</div>

(The fact that it plays XBox games is a bonus; also, the fact that I had to buy a goddamn $30 remote was found out after I bought it.) While I would like to play Prime 1/2, I'm not going to spent the money on the GC for them.</div>
