I've got Astonishia Story in my PSP right now, and I'm really enjoying it. I can't figure out why the reviewers hate the game so much -- sure, it's exactly like a few other RPGs on the PSP -- but at the same time, I'm enjoying extensively more than the others.

The pacing, for one, is great. That's my biggest problem with the Ys: Ark of Napishtim port. The music's pretty good too, not up to Ys' standards, but better than Popolocrois and Generation of Chaos. All the sprites look good and have really smooth animations. Load times for the game are infrequent and brief when they do appear, etc. etc.

Only bad thing is that there is a difficulty spike, but it's easily conquerable with just a bit of level grinding, which is cool because the battles are fun and easy to play out. It's a grid-based system, but it allows for more free movement than, say, the early Arc the Lad games. All in all, I'd give this at least a 7.5 (well above the 4s I've been seeing) if you're an RPG gamer.

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. Awsome game the plot keeps getting better and better as I play. Even with my not-that-good japanese skills it's still easy to play and understand everything.

Also I'll probably start playing ICO tomorrow since I never had a chance to play it..and I've this game for like what...4 months and now I'm with a urge to play it.

I finished off New Super Mario Bros., Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Sonic Rush while I was gone the last 6 weeks so that exhausts all my storyline DS games. Oh, except Metroid Prime: Hunters which I can just seem to never get around to starting. But I'll most likely be playing that next on DS, unless I get some more games this week for it.

On PS2, my football fever is still high, so I'm still playing a lot of FIFA Soccer 06. And since I'm back, I can continue on with Kingdom Hearts II maybe. Need motivation for that though :/.

Megamari, a doujin of Touhou who is a clone of Megaman, imagine Megaman 1 with thousand of bullets... i really need to beat this title.

Currently playing Shadow Hearts FTNW. There are som good aspects of it, some minor modifications/improvements to the battle system, but overall nowhere near Covenant. It just feels mediocre at best.

On the pc i've got Titan Quest and Prey. I've been dragging out titan quest for quite some time now due to the fact that the game is filled with bugs. I don't even know if i will ever finish it.

Prey has some good ideas, like the portals, the anti-gravity thing and to some extent the leaving of your body, but again overall, mediocre at best. The new ideas definatly boost the game, but again it just feels and plays like an ordinary FPS.

I just bought F.E.A.R and Quake 4 for my new PC. Haven't started Quake 4 yet, but F.E.A.R. is a damn good game, can't wait for the upcoming expansion pack and I am only about halfway through it so far...

While not the best FPS ever, there's just something about it. Maybe my new uber videocard, I have no idea! :D

At the moment...

Soul Calibur III for the sake that I never beat Chronicles of the Sword, and that I'm trying to get good with Ivy while using my own created character.

Fable: The Lost Chapters... It's just an amazing game period. I haven't gotten very far, but I finally got hold of an XBOX from my friend and playing it.

Halo 2 just for the sake that me and my friend want to do something RvB esque. But i'm just trying to get good in it anyway.

The Warriors, I got this on release, completed it and never touched it. I'm replaying it now and forgot how awesome it is. "Can you dig it suckers?"

Fooling around with Big Brain Academy and Magentica, which are currently my DS games of choice during my commute. Both are fun games, with Magnetica becoming more and more frustrating and Big Brain Academy declaring I have a fucking huge brain.

On the GameCube, I've been rolling with Sonic Mega Collection. It's so fun. I miss these games.

Currently playing DMC3 (so good), and Star Wars Starfighter, both on PC. Also been replaying some GBA Castlevania. Hopefully, I'll finally get around to beating Tales of Symphonia when I get home from university. I swear, I could have beaten it a long time ago, but ended up trying to get more EX points, and then moving on to another game before I got to the final boss.

Tales of Legendia - 7 hours in and im really enjoying it. I don't get all the hate for it, its awesome. Art direction is so nice <3

Front Mission 4 - What can i say, I love mecha and i love this game.

I've restarted Legend of Legaia and that fun feeling I got when I first used a hyper art is still there. I'm going to try to master this game and get everything. Apparently there is some Ra-Seru spells that you can obtain by finding certain stones and fulfilling other requirements.
IF it LEFT out doubles and double combos and kept the battle system intact it would have been a better game than covenant. You'll find that there is too much dependance on needing stock to prevent the bosses from doing anything. This keeps you from fighting the way you want. Johnny also has abnormally low SP..even Alice has more than this guy at the start and finish.

Are you talking about better battle system or better overall game?

DS: Super Mario 64 DS, which I've never beat even though it was the first DS game I got (it came with the DS). Also: Trauma Center: Under the Knife, the most fun in a video game I've had in a while.

PS2: Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII. I've been unmotivated to play it, but I'm getting through it. I'll probably just beat it at Normal once and stow it away. Forever. It does make me want to play Final Fantasy VII again though.

GC: Sonic the Hedgehog 3! (off Sonic Mega Collection). Yay.

I'm playing Yoshi's Island on the GBA right now. I have the SNES version too, and completed the game in the sense that I beat the final boss, but never got 100% in each level. Here's to hoping I can do that now.

I'm patiently awaiting FFV and FFVI for the GBA as well.. and FFXII for the PS2.

I'm mixing it up between another round of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth in order to get the A Ending, Onimusha Dawn of Dreams and Resident Evil 4.

I'm playing Jak and Daxter 1 for PS2. It is suprisingly good and has drawn me into its colorful world and simple yet challenging platforming.

PC: HalfLife 2: Aftermath

PS2: In the middle of a few but mainly Prince of Persia 3, Resident Evil 4 and Shadow Hearts 3 FTNW.

Yes, Jonny has very low SP but a simple SP bonus item (when hit at MAX/PERFECT) will add another 6 SP to him. Save before you do this so if you miss the PERFECT just load the game and try again.
