Hard to adjust to in terms of controls and style of play, but I am enjoying it so far.
Just finished playing it through on Pro mode a little while ago. They really changed the PRL weapon compared the PS2 version.

I decided to buy Gotham City Imposters yesterday since it's on sale and played a couple rounds this morning, it's a pretty fun game. It's not something I see myself playing for a long time but I think I can convince a friend of mine into getting it so it'll be something fun to play with him for a while. I do like the quirks in it that makes it more arcade-y like trampolines and grappling hooks. It's a nice change from most shooters today. I don't even bother playing the popular FPS games anymore because they're all the same so something different like that is good for me.
I also started S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat last night and played this morning too. I'm about 2.5 hours in and only have a couple side missions done, only researching one of the five downed helicopters you have to investigate as your first mission in the game. I can't believe how this series isn't much more popular, I'll put it in my top 5 single player FPS series of all time easily. Also plays a bit like an RPG without the leveling.
I also figured out how to use the detector after playing around with it. It kind of sucks because nobody explains how to use it in Clear Sky or this one and I kept forgetting I had it in Clear Sky. Now I'm going to use it a lot so I can take advantage of the artifacts in Call of Pripyat.
Got Star Ocean: The Last Hope for 15$ at Ebgames yesterday while looking for gift ideas, going to try it later today, probably won't be as good as 3, but one can hope.
SWTOR and I've gone back and started playing Pharaoh again, a fantastic city-building game. Someone out there just put together a high-resolutions and widescreen patch for it. Such a great game, more than ten years later.

That Star Ocean has to be the worst RPG I've ever finished. Normally if I don't like an RPG after about 10 hours I usually just stop, but I powered through this turd for whatever reason...maybe it was the trophies or something, I don't know. Anyway, maybe you'll like it but I sure didn't
Now that I finished ME3 I'm going to go back to Deal Island which I think I'm close to beating (going to a prison I think, or hospital?)

Well now I'm ready to be disappointed, but if it always does end up sucking x hours in, I got my PC Copy of Skyrim today, so things may turn out okay.

How good was Star Ocean 3?
Star Ocean 2 has to be one of the best games I've ever played but I never tried any of the other installments.
For me it was probably one of the Ps2 games I put the most time into playing, though if I had ToS for PS2 instead of GC it would have still been below that. I remember having at least one playthrough with over 100 hours played. I remember finding out you could have certain conversations with the other party member's that would decide who bails you out and who doesn't at a certain point and replaying the game just because I'd rather have had the other character.

I might have paid $15 for The Last Hope (I actually got it as a gift, so technically I didn't pay anything for it), but I didn't think it was all that great. I didn't play 2 or 3, but I did play the first game on PSP and really enjoyed it. I know they released the second, and I kept meaning to get it, but I sort of gave up on my PSP after a while and haven't played it in at least two years...

Considering I only played it the first 2 days, started playing Skyrim on PC and adding in mods, and haven't played it since then. I'd probably agree. Glad I didn't spend 50$ on it back when I first saw it.
Playing Dead Island and it's a lot better than I had hoped. Getting my ass handed to me lots though.
It is rather rough in the beginning when all you get is **** weapons (another boat oar, really?), but once you get (or make) a good one and fix it whenever you can, things start to get easier

I died probably 3 times during Act 1. Now I get to the city, and a couple hours in, I've died about 20 times. It gets a little rough.
