It's been ages since I've played PiT so I should play it again too. The main reason it's my least favourite is because of that compulsory spaceship minigame, the first time is all right but that bit near the end... guh. Eventually I just gave up and didn't end up finishing it.
Other than that I enjoyed it but something that causes me not to finish a game can sometimes overshadow the rest. As I said though it was ages ago and now that I'm older I'll probably either 1) find the minigame a piece of cake or 2) be persistent enough to finish it.

But yeah, apart from that it's a fantastic game. Not really sure if I'd say better than BiS, but it's not far behind.

To not completely derail the thread, I'll also post that I recently discovered that The Neverhood was actually intended for teenagers (whereas I thought it was for kids), which explains a lot and so I'm now taking it more seriously. I really love how the story unravels itself so slowly, and you know you're getting closer to figuring out just what the hell is going on.

Also playing more Age of Empires. That "Wonder of the World" mission was really annoying.
Still addicted on Temple Run 2, now I've reached 35 million points.

That game has probably the best soundtrack ever, but looking at your custom title, i guess you already figured that out. Skull Monkeys on the Psx is also recommendable, even though it's quite different.

I'm playing Mass Effect 1 on the PC for the first time. Good game, but poorly optimized PC port. The story and dialogues are so serious, but in contrast, the driving sequences on the planets seem kind of silly. Also, the assault rifles suck, because the bullet spread is ridiculous, even with the rifle skill almost maxed out.

Indeed, one of the best soundtracks I've heard. Looking for one of the songs (which I'd heard in video) was how I discovered the game in the first place, funnily enough Tongue
I am planning to play Skullmonkeys once I'm finished, apparently that has a great soundtrack too. I've also heard that it's a platformer, which should be interesting.
Metal Gear Rising, once you get the whole blocking mechanic down it's pretty spiffy.
I wish I still had my nes, but my parents forced me to sell it and everything with it(nintendo zapper, games, etc.) many years ago, so for now I have to settle for my gameboy(my personal favorite console, but I don't have very many games for it Sad)

lately I've been playing
-pokemon trading card game
-pokemon blue(magikarp sweep Big Grin)
-pokemon silver(dead save battery)
-game and watch gallery 3
-super mario land 3: wario land
-and mario land 2(seems to be corrupted, crashes quite often and sometimes resets save data)

My house may be loaded with videogames and consoles, but these are all I've been playing lately...
blacklight: retribution.
I have never seen a game that freezes so much on the login screen. still trying to log in as I type this.
Recently I've been playing Fire Emblem: Awakening. It's my first FE game that my school friend suggested to me and it's a blast! I just wish I hasn't missed out on Donnel. x.x
Along side that, I've been playing the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate demo. being a huge monster hunter fan, I was so overly excited to play even the demo! It's so much fun, and now I'm learning to use the great sword. I managed to kill the plesioth with the hammer too :D but man, the camera controls are worse than on the PSP. Can't even claw! I'm probably going to get the circle pad pro when it's out. IT'S ONLY 2 WEEKS AWAY!!!
and now i'm playing sonic colors cause my friends at school reminded me how much i loved sonic games. :P It's okay so far, but too linear. I'm gonna get generations sometime soon, probably for the PS3 as I can't get my PS3 controller to work with my laptop. x.x
well i don't have awakening yet, but i just started playing fire emblem : shadow dragon

the graphics are much less stylish than the gba ones but it's still nice Smile
The graphics are so amazing they decided to re-use them in FF12
I love Serious Sam classic. I didn't play HD and BFE coz my computer don't realize requirements.
Also I played CoD and GTA.
Completed Rising on Normal, playing it through on Hard. One of the few games I've ever played again immediately after finishing it.
Resonance of Fate, currently on Chapter Seven. The story's kind of disjointed and not exactly ~thrilling~ at this point, and the gameplay can get tedious very quickly, but the worldbuilding is interesting as hell and I want more of it.
Just 100%ed Diddy Kong Racing Heart

Think next up I'll finish Spirit Tracks.

Oh, is that any good? I keep picking the case up whenever I'm in the store, but I never convince myself to buy it.
