I have to say i've been quite surprised by BG&E. I wasn't what I was expecting at all - I thought it was going to be a simple action kind of game but its got a lot more depth to it than I was lead to believe. It's basically what Starfox Adventures was trying to be, but done proper.

Great game! Cheers for the recommendation Mr. Weldon

Figured I would join in on the console discussion, now that I actually have something to say. I normally don't play consoles, or follow their games, as I don't own any. On the rare occasion, I will play the xbox at my sisters house.

This weekend, I borrowed a friends PS2 and played "Ratched and Clank: going commando".......holy crap, this game is good! I was very, very impressed with the depth of this game. On the surface, it seems like another 'cute animal w/ sidekick mascot', kinda game. Once you get going, though, you quickly see that they have managed to incorporate a huge variety of great gameplay elements, borrowing from the best parts of many, many of our favorite games. I was simply amazed at the amount of innovation, eye candy, and balance this game displayed, and found myself playing it for hours on end.

This makes me wish I could afford to buy an Xbox, and PS2. As a student, and lover of video games, I deserve them right?? Where's that money tree? raaar~!
