What y'all been playing?

It's an obvious forum topic in a game category I know, but I thought it worth resurrecting.

What games has everyone been playing, are they any good, and what games are you hoping to play in the near future?

I have been tackling:
X-Men Vs. Street Fighter (PSOne) - an enjoyable beat 'em up but rather like all the other SF games of the time. Hadoken!

Enter The Matrix (PS2) - It's got stupid controls and slightly empty-feeling levels, but hey, you can do stuff in SLOW-MOTION! Ahem.

Want to play:
Okami (PS2) - a pretty platformer, and birthday present that has thus far not arrived - curse those delivery times!

Largely playing Football Manager 06 on PC, The Chaos Engine on mobile (that IS a game) and want to play Zelda on the Wii but have to get one first!

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is currently installed and I'm fairly close to completing it.

On the shelf awaiting a resinstallation of Windows:

Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Thief: deadly Shadows

Oh... and Football Manager 2007

Right now I've backtracked several years and have become addicted to playing Pokemon Red on my Gameboy Advance lol. I found it when I cleared out my room in my parents house and playing it makes me feel young again and forget about things like studying for retaks!!

Hurrah! Got an adapter thing that lets me use my PS pads on PC... Which means I can tackle Mega-Drive and SNES emulators with something other than a keyboard - payback time for all those damned beat 'em ups...

For anyone who cares, here is a link:

I've never liked using the PS d-pad for fighting games. Crying or Very sad

Haven't had much time to play lately, but the games are:
Final Fantasy XII (PS2) - Fight! Fight! Fight! Hunt! Hunt! Hunt! Grind! Grind! Grind! Something like that...

Sword of Maia (GBA) - Okay action RPG, the NPC AI is appalling which is of surprise to me.

FIFA 06 (PS2) - I've a demo of FIFA 07 which seemed decent, but this is poor - I can't put together any nice attacking moves... Crying or Very sad

Would like to play:
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga again. Or start the 2nd one. Smile

Getting whipped on Splatterhouse 2 and Talmit's Adventure on the MD - some of these old games are just evil! Smile

Well on my holiday i had to use my DS, with i played Pokemon Diamond, Hotel Dusk Room 215 and Elite Beat Agents.

But now i'm back there's somthing i must confess. I'm interested in getting a 360 and i'll be selling my old xbox. And all the games (i can't be bothered to do the whole backward compatibility thingy) so i'm picking out some games that i haven't finished that are on xbox.

So far i got:

State of Emergency
The Matrix:Path of Neo
Star Wars:KOTOR
Jade Empire
Fable
Brute Force

and thats it.

Path Of Neo any good? Have heard some positive things about it and as it's about £3 on amazon I'm quite tempted...

Haven't really played it much so can't say, but i can say it's not a bad deal for £3

Hell, i only paid about £2 for it brand new from GAME

Yeah, Okami is great thus far - a lot bigger than I thought it would be too!
