For Valentines day- I got a Nintendo Ds along with Cooking Mama, and Lego star wars 2. Cooking Mama is fun for the times that you don't want to really have to think on what you are playing- just something mindless to do.

She's Chief-chan on cos.com.... I haven't played Lego SW #1 yet, love vol. 2... driving go-karts in the deathstar FTW. It's a blast starting fights in the Cantina when you're bored.

Yesterday I finished Airborne from EA's Medal of Honor franchise. Much like the previous Medal of Honor game Pacific something or other , the controls where a little quirky. This series has been left in the dust since the arrival of Call of Duty and no matter how they try they can never catch up. This game tried to innovate with a weapon update system, the ability to re-parachute in on any point of the map when you die and a new more realistic physics engine. The weapons update feature sounded like a good idea on paper but was in reallity more of a hinderance than blessing. The base weapons had a built in accuracy and inferioraty that was somewhat solved with the upgrades. But some of the upgrades themselves ruined weapons, for example the final upgrade for the sniper rifle is a grenade launcher that used the barrel. So after that you had no long distance shooting cappability unless u wanted to lob grenades at people. Another major issue was the lack of a steady function for snipping so you sight would always wobble and for some reason with no true consistant cause the sights would blur and fog up. Added to that is the fact that to use sights you need to hold down a key there is no toggle (a function that has been around since Call of Duty 1) and while in sights u cannot move just lean to be able to more with sights u needed to hold down a third key. I would have also been nice to be able to turn some of the upgrades on and off. The unique respawn function was really nice in some levels because you could choose to by-pass a difficult inplacement, but it was also very inconvinient in most places. The game resets everytime you die so even though you can by pass a difficult point the soldiers that you previously killed to that point are alive again and now behind you. So most of the time skipping over a spot ment that you will be shot at from the back as well. They were only truely dead if you reached a save point before dying, which was usually a heavily defended objective. Your only real option was to land in a safe zone and attempt the entire objective again, which led to plenty of repetition of long zones and facing the same implacements, just to die a room away from your objective and having to reconquer and entire city block. The enemy also had an uncanny ability to hide perfectly behind tiny objects and shoot extremely accuratly over their heads.
Over a Call of Duty 1.5 with a nice graphics and physics engine. The game couldn't decide if it wanted to be a historic shooter or an alternate reallity historic shooter.

I'm currently playing on the DS:
FF4, Hotel Dusk, Chocobo Tales, Teenage Zombies Invasion of the Brain Thingies, and Cooking Mama (FF4 primarily, rotating the others when I don't feel like FFing)
On PS2:
It's been a while since I had time, but was playing Lego Batman and still chugging away at FF5 slowly.

I have The new Katamari Forever for the PS3, along with Little Big Planet- those are my current favorites at the moment. I LOVE BIOSHOCK.- 40 style meets with a interesting storyline about a under the sea city, Just don't kill, umm "Harvest" the little sisters when you play- I wish someone had told me that before I started playing.
