Smash Brothers X/Brawl online does get plenty of play.
Picross DS as always with the downloadable packs.

Yakuza 3. Sure the battles and story is great, but it’s the turtle racing that brings me back.

Brawl gets the most playtime on the Wii.
On the DS, it’s mostly Apollo Justice and some more Pokémon Diamond.

I was playing Pikmin and the day after I got the 29th part, I bought Brawl and haven’t been back to Pikmin since…unless I’m playing as Olimar

Brawl obviously.
But on the DS side I’m still playing Pokemon Diamond. I’m at the 444th hour mark. Yes I know I’m crazy.

Brawl/Starcraft :-p

Being in Europe, no Brawl for me. I was on Easter vacation for a week and a half this month, though, which always means that I pull out those handheld games I rarely play otherwise. I did finish Apollo Justice, which I had been playing before that, and that was pretty good… And then I played a lot of Crush on the PSP, beat all the levels in Super Mario World once more on the SNES emulator on the PSP (hush, you: I’ve got like two copies of the SNES game), and played a bit of Super Punch Out as well. Oh, and Donkey Kong Country 2. Shame that that game’s kinda hard to get through on the PSP, since the level with the flashlight fish thingy actually has the fish’s covers-two-thirds-of-the-screen light beam turn opaque. So what was supposed to help you see in the dark level, obscures enough that you don’t see where you’re going or what you’re about to run into. Oh well… Back to the good ol’ SNES now that I’m home.

This month, I’ve actually not been playing much. I started the month out with quite a bit of Melee, moved on to Brawl when it came out, and ended up back to Melee. Who knew! Melee ended being the better game, IMO, but I’m still going to give Brawl a chance. Inspired by Smashville, I pulled out and dusted off my copy of Animal Crossing. I’ve been playing for about 30 minutes a day for the past week, and it’s been so very relaxing. I’ve yet to pay off Tom Nook for the house, but I don’t really care. I’m enjoying myself.

Finally, I bought Twin Snakes off a friend recently. I played through it for the fifth or sixth time, and it was still as amazing as… the second play through. The action was kind of “meh” this time around, but the story was still there. Especially after having played through all the other MGS games in the last two months (2,3, PO).

My predictions for April… Crisis Core, Melee, Brawl, Animal Crossing, and Okami.

Started Odin Sphere but by the end of the Valkyrie story arc was bored to tears by the lame dialogue, poor voice acting, unnecessary loading screens and repetitive gameplay. Will probably sell it uncompleted.

Giving FFVIII another shot. I know, right? After those particular criticisms of OS I go and replay FFVIII? The devil you know. Without the urge to rush ahead and experience the train-wreck of a story for the first time I’m actually enjoying experimenting with the Junction system. And the music. For similar reasons I really enjoyed a recent replay of FFXII.

A week and a half ago I cracked and bought Brawl. I was trying to hold off and finish up some of the other games I haven’t had time for before Brawl consumed all of playing time. I bought it on my way to a family dinner and inhaled my curry and twiddled my thumbs for a few hours. When I made it home buzzed and excited I was greated with a disk read error. So after sending my Wii to Nintendo for a checkup (which by the way was a quick and hassle free experience) I recieved me Wii yesterday. Another family dinner later (horrible timing with the family dinners) and I finally got to play Brawl. I almost called out of work today to continue the fun. Only nine more hours till Brawlination.

I feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t really like Brawl. The first one was not bad, but I bought the sequels on good faith.. and didn’t enjoy them nearly as much.

For the same reason, I am not at all excited about ANOTHER Mario Kart.

Been playing lots of Xenogears lately

Rockman Zero 2.

I love the difficulty level. It’s just not one of these games you can breeze through.

I play Lord of the Rings Online too. It’s a lot of fun.

Metroid Prime 3, Finally got enough time to get to play my first Wii game - have the Wii for a year now :]

I’m really impressed with this game, I don’t understand why people were tending to give this game somewhat of a cold shoulder. Metroid Prime 3 has so much atmosphere to it, detail.. a worthy sequel. And a worthy true Wii game

Finally beat the SSE. It was pretty fun up until the maze. That part was just lazy. I don’t know how they expected people to get motivated enough to finish it before they added Sonic.

The rest of the game is amazing, though. Especially that time I did a 300% Fast Bunny Curry Angled Brawl with four Sonics on Big Blue. (you all know that Sonic with a Bunny Hood can outrun the cars on Big Blue, right? In fact, he can even walk off the right edge.)

First off, we must burn Namssorg as a heretic.

It’s been a straight month of Brawl for me. I bought a Wavebird for it, but I’m really starting to enjoy the Wiimote + Nunchuk scheme. If I had the extra cash, there would be some Ninja Gaiden DS and FF:CC:RoF in there as well.

I’m almost a little scared to get into Rings of Fate. I feel like it needs to be as fun as Secret of Mana was nearly 15 years ago. (God I’m old.) Plus, there’s the harsh reality that it’s hard to round up your friends for co-op when you’re out of high school/college. (It also doesn’t help that I work retail, meaning most of my weekends are shot.)

I was a little burned by Children of Mana. It was fun enough if you could get 3-4 people, but only being to earn items and stuff if you were the host was a ton of crap. And would it have killed them to put an overworld in the game?

It’s been all about Brawl. This game is simply fantastic and a bit too addictive. Fighting, trying new characters, taking snapshot… even the Stage Builder is cool. Too much Brawl is not enough Brawl. It is that good, I have around 200 snapshots to prove it.

I’ve managed to squeeze little time for Endless Ocean, to “finish the story” - which mean I saw the game credits, but there is still much to do, but I care less and less. A bit of the uber-excellent No More Heroes, but it remains untouched since Brawl.

On the handheld side, I got my copy of Rhythm Tengoku. I must admit that the game isn’t as good as I wanted it to be. You clearly have the WarioWare feel, the games makes a good first impression by being clever and fun, but in the end I thought there wasn’t enough variety - and the gameplay is a bit too arbitary. Still, it’s a game like no other and I will certainly return to it from time to time. And, oh, some Professor Layton brain-teasers are always good - just once or so a week.

I’ve been playing Brawl constantly (as many others are)…just so much fun to play, and make levels, etc. Mostly done with Subspace, have one character I can’t find but I will. Other than that, I’ve been alternating between Earthbound (via emulation on my DS, getting to the part with the dinosaurs) and Tales of Phantasia GBA version. I know that in some ways it’s inferior to the original (mostly because the music isn’t quite as good) but it’s such a great game anyway, I don’t care. Partly I got onto playing it again because a friend of mine has been loving Tales of Symphonia, and it reminded me how much I love it and Phantasia.

I’ll also finally play through the original Star Ocean soon…probably. Oh, also, I’ve really come to like wiimote/nunchuk with Brawl. I thought for sure I’d prefer Gamecube/Classic controller.

Edgar, what LotRO server are you on?

Not much time to play this week, but brawl has been in my Wii every day and I’m getting good at Snake…

I feel like I really need to pick up Prof. Layton for DS.

A great month for gaming since I got to play and finish several games:

Wii: Batallion Wars 2, Kororinpa, LInk’s Crossbow Training, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Rayman Raving Rabbids (Replay with my 9 year old sister)

PS2: Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80’s and Guitar Hero II.

DS: Age of Empires, Contact and Picross

GBA: Eragon (STILL. Haven’t had a chance to finish it… but I DID advance 1/4 of the game).

Wii VC: Bonk 2 and Shining in the Darkness.

@Animagnum: If either of you guys happen to be on Gladden, I wouldn’t mind meeting up if you’d like to. I play as a man named Branson myself.

For myself, it’s Summon Night 2 for the GBA, and Hotel Dusk and [a really shameful game] for the DS.

I rather miss my other consoles, as much as I do like the DS.

Brawl. Though I wish I could give it more time I still need to beat Galaxy too…ugh.

I hope April’s good to me…

I might pick up Ninja Gaiden DS. bt likely it’ll be a bit of Cave Story and Bioshock in between doing homework.

Smash bros. and Rock Band!
I won my last Smash Bros. tournament, and I plan on winning another one soon.

I may get a PSP soon and play Crisis Core. I tried it out the other day, actually before it came out, and It plays how I think FFXIII will.

Zack & Wiki! And, um, that’s about it. A little Rock Band at friends’ houses. I don’t have much time for games recently.

Animagnum - I’m on Vilya

replaying Half-Life 2 (all episodes), SSBB, and Team Fortress 2. i would be playing TF2 a lot more if my clan didnt implode on itself due to internal power struggles people acting like dillholes. playing with random people just isnt as fun ya know?

I’m playing Miss Bimbo for review on my 1up Blog. When I’m not playing virtual dress-up, I’ve been playing Pokemon Pearl (STILL) and TMNT (for GBA)
