I'm playing my new Midway Collection for X-Box these past few weekends. I've been playing all the games some but most of my time's been spent on Blaster, Spyhunter, Paperboy, and Robotron so far.

I've also been playing a lot of the Star Wars Plug and Play. I got the game key a few weeks ago and it's got this excellent platforming slasher with Yoda on there (It's in the same vein as Shadow of the Ninja or the 2-D Castlevania games). It's nice to play Yoda in a video game and actually be able to actually control him (if you played Ep 3 or Lego SW you know what I mean). I just beat it last weekend (those are 5 tough levels).

- "City Of Heroes" for PC

Mind you, I typically only get to play one per week, but hey - they're fun.

I totally ABHOR the Raziel parts, where it turns into a super-complex platformer without rhyme or reason... but I want to know the END of the STORY, damn it all!

platforming is the bane of gaming...making a game hard for no apperant reason just plain sucks...I think that any game maker that uses platforming like that should have his thumbs removed...

I still play FF8 every now and then... I guess it's my video game crack.

Todd, how easy is Robtron to play on a console? It seems that it would be difficult to move your man around.

I'm currently playing the NEW Super Mario Bros on the DS. It ROCKS...btw.

When I'm done with that, a friend lent me Zelda: Ocarina in Time that's playable on the GameCube. I've not played it and I've heard it's way cool.

Robotron's fine on X-Box, you've got two joysticks right there on the controller (you can also use the D pad and 4 buttons too). Of course, I did just fine with a D-pad and four buttons on the Super Nintendo version of Total Carnage too.

The funny thing about Robotron...Almost every game on the Midway Collection starts at level 5 difficulty (10 being the highest) by default and you can adjust it. I played Robotron a few times and got my *SQUEE* kicked by the sheer amount of enemies coming at you at insane speeds. The game's just friggin impossible (I got to wave 6 or so). Then I look at the defualt difficulty (to turn it down)...it was on 1 (out of 10) the entire time! Holy #$#&!

Boy oh boy did I pump some money into Robotron when it came out. It was the one and only game I played, where it felt like I was putting my whole body into playing it. If you ever played it at the arcade you know what I'm talking about. Hands, arms, shoulders, legs, feet...whoa, what a kinetic game that was.

Hell, yeah.

On a general note: My wife finally beat Bloodrayne 2 last weekend and this weekend she's playing through Kinghts of the Republic...for the fifth time (that's app. 40 hours each!). The game's so addictive that I think the FDA is looking into it :P

When they released the Xbox 360 last year everyone was playing the display versions of Call of Duty 2 in the stores. It looked incredibly realistic.

I don't think I've ever played a game with graphics this good. Incredible...!!! (This is the PC version I'm talking about.)

I haven't seen the PC version yet, but if it's anywhere near as good as what the 360 version is, I bet it is awesome.

I can't play anything, because I'm WAYYYYYYYYYY too OCD to get wrapped up in a game and let silly little things like work and bills get be ignored while I'm obsessed with finishing it.

I'm guilty of having to call in sick in the past, because I was up until 3am playing some of these games. Damn you, Diablo! Damn you!
