Been playing Mass Effect 2 lately. Already have 40 hours invested. Working on mining and lots of N7 side missions right now. Still have four Loyalty missions left and Overlord left, too. Then it's back to the main story... Crazy stuff. Amazing game. Way longer and more involved than I imagined. It's so incredible exploring so many different worlds and races. Feels like you're really part of it. The varying relationships you share with the huge range of characters really pleases me. Not so shallow and pointless like some games. I'm already a massive sucker for interplanetary sci-fi...but this is brilliant. With all of the decisions and different ways to play (builds, squads, strategies, etc), it's very tempting to do several playthoughs...
But I'm trying to be done before Mass Effect 3!
Man, and some of the missions are SO wonderful it's hard to even find words to describe my feelings about them. Like Kasumi's Loyalty mission. Hooooly crap. That was so much fun. And the mission INSIDE a Collector ship. That atmosphere...that constant uneasy feeling something is about to go wrong. Not to mention the overwhelming interior design. Love it. AND the Shadow Broker mission! That was GOD-tier from start to finish. Especially breaking into the Broker's ship during that crazy lightning storm.
Definitely moved way up my favorites list.

So much to do, so little time to do it anymore. I still really want to replay REmake and Majora's Mask sometime in the near future. I've been having strong urges to replay the Dead Space series AGAIN. I get withdrawals, I think... And I need to find some time to play Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the first time. Never got around to it but I really want to.
All this with AT LEAST Mass Effect 3 and Resident Evil 6 coming out this year...it's starting to feel overwhelming. I think I need to start dedicating some weekday time to console video games again.
And I'm thinking about getting Metroid Prime 3 since I own a Wii now, just to say I've finished the trilogy. I'm sure it will be the worst of the three, though. Who knows when I'll get around to that.
