Any games you want to hear about?
What I'm playing or have recently finished:
Wrath of the Lich King
Left 4 Dead
Team Fortress 2
Gears of War 2
King's Bounty
Fallout 3
Lock's Quest
Tomb Raider: Underworld
The World Ends With You
Drill Dozer
Metal Slug 7
Ninjatown
Geometry Wars: Galaxies (that's the DS one)
Contact
What I've recently gotten but haven't played or have barely played:
Darwinia
Multiwinia
Space Rangers 2
The Political Machine 2008
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
Audiosurf
S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl
What I still hope to get, in no particular order:
Far Cry 2
World of Goo
EDF 2017
Aquaria
Defense Grid
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, Season 1 (35 bucks for the whole season now)
Immortal Defense
Some GBA games and DS games; I cannot access my Amazon list for a while
One racing game for the 360 (wouldn't want to get burdened with too many games to catch up with!) from the following list:
Midnight Club: Los Angeles (leaning towards this one)
Need for Speed Undercover
PURE
Burnout: Paradise
Baja: Edge of Control
GRID
I think that, apart from these lists, the list I have on Amazon, and the games I will receive for Christmas, I will be well-covered for the first half of the year. Yes? Also, hooray! I see patterns erupting. Someone needs to hire me to be the casual MMO guy. I don't know of any casuals who understand or care about MMOs. I also haven't seen anyone compare the vast range of tower defense games that came out in 2008. Along with the downloadable revolution, tower defense has really come of age recently; Lock's Quest is awesome so far and I'm enthused about chewing on the many others.
It's a good thing I haven't gotten a Playstation 2 yet.

May seem crazy since the game was originally released in '07, but I'd love to see you cover the Enhanced Edition of The Witcher.
Plenty of hot/cold reviews of the original release, but it never felt like anyone really dug into the game - especially the update - critically or analytically. I'm sure someone has (it's an RPG, after all) and I've simply missed it; but I'd be interested in your take on the game if you're still looking for nominations...and if you happen to have 50 or so hours to devote to it. ;-)
Hey! Good idea. I was in the middle of King's Bounty but that's old and more entertainment-ish.
I actually haven't played much of it yet and am only on the first chapter, so it'll be a while; fortunately I have other stuff to write about until then!
What was it that interested you the most? While much of it is different, thematically it's very pop-culture fantasy and "I do what I want" masculinity tough-guy stuff. I hear the plot's very unique though (for a game at least).
Yeah, it's the plot I'm mostly interested in and if/how it pulls you in via role-playing. I'm always curious to see what sort of structural, mechanical stuff new RPGs bring to the table too.
Problem is, I don't have time to squeeze this one in now that my break is over and I'm back to teaching. For whatever reason, it's the one RPG I wish I hadn't skipped when it came out. Piqued my curiosity, though I'm not sure exactly why. Maybe it just looked different to me...and different is always a good thing in my book when it comes to RPGs. :-)
