Lots and lots of demos. Demos for Need For Speed: The Run, Sonic Generations, Dance Central 2 and Kinect Sports Season 2. I've also put more time into Gears of Wars 3 and Halo Reach.

Tales of Phantasia
Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer Renegade
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

If you enjoy Renegade and the Command & Conquer series I highly suggest you check out a standalone game created from Renegade called A Path Beyond.

The game plays is basically Red Alert 1 in the Renegade Engine with a ton of improvements. Its really sweet and if your interested at all give it a try.

I also started playing this again and its a blast.

I'm still playing Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance via the Castlevania Double Pack on my Game Boy Advance SP. I beat the game, got all of the endings, filled the map in 200%, collected at least one of every single item, completely filled out my Encyclopedia with item drops and all, and beat all difficulties of the Boss Rush Mode with Juste and Simon. All that's left now, besides playing with Maxim which I'm saving for another time, is maxing out my level (technically, there's hard mode and no-magic mode for the main game, but it sounds like those barely change anything, so who cares. I barely touch magic anyway, and I hear hard mode's difficulty feels practically the same.) This has the same idiotic leveling up system as Symphony of the Night, though, so after around 50, every enemy only gives 1 experience point. But with regenerating enemies and the endlessly twirling Energy Circle whip, I don't even have to actively do anything. I just have a rubber band over the button and I'm leaving the game running. It's all pretty pointless in the end, but I'm an OCD completionist like that.

Other than that silliness I have going, I finally tried out my US version of Solatorobo, Red the Hunter, on my DSi XL. I think I actually prefer playing it on my DS Lite, go figure. Anyway, I only played long enough to clear the Hindenburg. The localization seems pretty nice, besides some font weirdness (not a fan of the slanted apostrophes, and the text is kinda big).

For the first time in a long time I've been playing handheld games. I played The Castlevania Adventure on my GBC(and kept dying at a platform jumping section) and started playing Castlevania: Circle of The Moon on my GBA. Tonight I'm going to play Fruit Ninja on my Kinect.

As a Marine no problem but as preditor or alien it is a quick kill.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land for the Wii is fun at the moment. The Ninja Bonus game rocks- really, really rocks.

...3DS Tetris Axis

So, what are your thoughts on the new version of Tetris?

In regards to different slants to Tetris, this one appeals to me- perhaps because I will most likely never play it.

Finally knuckling down and going start to finish on Metal Gear Solid for the PS1. Bought it a long time ago, played thru Disc One, then set it aside. This time, I started all over and am now back to just past the start of Disc Two. Still fun.

Tetris Axis doesnt play much different to the Tetris Premium / Deluxe from DS or Nintendo Download. The Music is better, more gamemodes and higher (3DS) resolution ( full screen ) If you have the DS Tetris youre fine, no need for Tetris Axis.

I actually played the Tetris Dekaris ( Dekai Tetris / Huge Tetris ) at the AEON Shoppingmall here in Japan - looks fun with its huge Joysticks, but plays just terrible ( with those huge inaccurate joysticks its almost impossible to place a block correctly) - those 100 Yen for one play are gone 1 minute.

I'm still "playing" Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance via the Castlevania Double Pack on my Game Boy Advance SP, if it even counts. I've had it running for most of the day for the past two days, and I'm only up to level 65, haha. And I started this level grinding nonsense at about level 50. It's kind of a pain because the dropped items never disappear, so periodically I have to clear them out because the game starts to slow down. What also sucks is that it seems like I've used the system so much over the years that my battery capacity has decreased. Wasn't it said that the backlit model should get around 12 hours? I'm probably getting more like 6 now. Oh well, no biggie for the time being.

For some actual active game playing, I tried out my recently acquired Custom Robo V2 for Nintendo 64. I did a few battles, and it's good stuff. Seems like basically more of the same, although it's been awhile since I played through the original. Nice to finally add this one to my N64 import collection.

Grinding, grinding, grinding away in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance via the Castlevania Double Pack on my Game Boy Advance SP. I think I'm up to level 74. I wonder if I glitched the game or something because it's been going for awhile now with the enemies dropping nothing but hearts and coins (which disappear). There are the same two potions sitting there that have been on screen for quite awhile now. As long as nothing gets messed up, I'm not complaining. I'll leave it alone until I need to charge it or go to bed, whichever comes first.

For actual playing, and this barely counts, I popped Neo Cherry Master into my Neo Geo Pocket Color to give it a brief test. I finally got around to picking up a US cart. I had the US packaging, but my prior cart was Euro. Now I officially have a full US library, but I still need to get around to getting the packaging for Sonic to claim I have a full CIB NGPC collection.

That is all really and haven't been playing much on 360 except some Burnout: Crash on XBLA, started Cyrsis 2 & NBA Jam but not far into them yet, need to finish up Driver: SF as I'm up to Chapter 6.

Trying to finish this all up because all attention shifts to SuperMario 3D Land for 3DS next week!.

As a result of my trip to the flea market yesterday:

Donkey Kong (NES)
Yoshi's Cookie (NES)
Sudeki (Xbox)
Burnout 3 (Xbox)
Sneak King (Xbox)

The only game I am disappointed in is Sneak King. I know it's supposed to be a cheap Burger King game with that creepy King and it's not all that deep. I found myself frustrated trying to sneak up on the right people and get a decent score. I ended up giving up long before I accomplished the first mission!

I've been playing alot of COD: Black Ops lately in preparation for the change over to MW3 on Tuesday. I'm sure there will be tons of people still playing it for the nazi zombie mode over the next few years. I also have been playing Fruit Ninja and boy is that game tiring. You need to take constant breaks, otherwise you feel like your arms are broken.

And finally I checked out the Saints Row: The Third demo, which is just a character creation tool.l I've made two naked women and a buff dude so far. You get to import your characters into the game when it releases but I don't really want to import my women because everyone will be hitting on them and I really don't want to receive any dick pics.
