Xbox 360

Finally picked up an Xbox 360 Elite, and I'm wireless!  I'm on Xbox Live, and my GamerTag is "JFarside".  That's my actual "GamerCard" above, so you can see what I've been up to!

Xbox Live Arcade:  Schizoid, Puzzle Quest, Bomberman Live, and others

Overlord

Why yes, it is a tiny bit like Pikmin, but with an evil twist - you get to control an army of minions (think multi-colored gremlins):  reds throw fireballs, blues can swim, and greens are immune to poison.  Funky, funny, and really fun!  And of course, there's some multi-player, so go find it in a bargain bin!

Rock Band (and Guitar Hero II)

Who knew that a lounge musician could have so much fun rockin' out?  Everyone I know is coming over to play this - even Shelly will pick up a guitar!  Grab three friends and come chill out in my living room - to Nirvana, Weezer, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers...

MULTI-PLAYER:  Call Of Duty 4 / Halo 3 / Gears Of War

Three big ol' shooters - I've finished the single-player on COD4 (stuck on the other two - anybody wanna help me push through to the end?), but I still like a little multi-player mayhem from time to time.  Especially with in-game voice chat!  (thus the smack may fly)

Computer Games
(Games For Windows)

I have my Wireless Home Network set up!  I have Shelly's computer and mine in one room.  Come over and play!  (bring games, bring a laptop - bring several hours to kill)

World Of WarCraft

MMORPG:  Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game.  I spent months online (Thunderlord server, playing a Tauren shaman named "Jhonarr"), and I had way too much fun stomping across the Kalimdor countryside.  Flippin' fantastic.

Now I've switched sides - I'm playing a Dwarf Paladin (Nazjatar server) along with my buddies David and Jayme.  Come join the Alliance!

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Oh my.  Talk about a time-sucker - I'm over 100 hours into this amazing single-player RPG, and I've barely scratched the surface of the main quest.  But it's beautiful, it's interesting, it's fun to grow my character... really, I didn't play anything else for six months.

Far Cry

Even though I'm spending a lot of time on the 360 right now, I still want to finish a couple shooters on the PC - Far Cry, Painkiller, and the upcoming Half-Life 2: Episode Two are all on my list.

Nintendo DS

All Zelda, all the time...

The Legend Of Zelda:  Phantom Hourglass

Wow, what a perfect little game!  I loved "Windwaker", so the art style and storyline continue perfectly.  And the touch screen actually works really well as an interface.  Five-minute fun nuggets!

New Super Mario Bros.

I've been through the main levels once, now I just need to go back and find all the secret stuff...

Tetris DS

Perfect 5-minutes-to-kill game.  Lots of cool new modes, including "Tetris Push" and "Tetris Touch"

Nintendo Gamecube

This console's all but gathering dust - but Lego Star Wars is still a great party game, and I'll eventually be getting "The Legend Of Zelda - Twilight Princess".

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

Playing through the original trilogy as a bunch of Lego guys, especially with a friend sitting next to you, is the best experience I've had with the GameCube in the last year.  Exploding droids never gets old.  And the Lego humor (Stormtroopers in a hot tub?) adds yet another layer of fun.

Brett's gotten much farther in this than I have - maybe because I haven't turned on my GameCube in a year...

Pikmin

Another game that I've returned to after a few years away, and had a blast finishing.  If you're interested in an unusual strategy title with a dark, Tim-Burton-esque world, try this.

Resident Evil 4

After finishing Metroid Prime with its automatic targeting, it is very refreshing to have to manually aim my pistol at those zombies' heads!  Creepy, atmospheric, adrenaline-pumping...  and scary as hell.  Literally.

Update:  I have grown tremendously disappointed with this game.  About half-way through, the level design just went in the toilet.  Like a high-schooler did it.  Ecch....

Second Update:  Finished the game!  And my disappointment was short-lived - there was only one section that seemed truly shoddy, but it got much better by the end.  Slick and scary!
