Actually I downloaded a load of RPGs on my PSP from the huge PSN sale a few weeks back. I've been playing Xenosaga but to be honest I was disappointed. I just can't seem to get into the old school mechanics.  I'll keep going for a bit longer.

Other than that I've been watching the old Star Wars movies again.  I searched the attic of my Mums house and found a stack of my old figures, so I'm toying with the idea of starting a collection. The ones I have are in great condition. Not sure how I sell that one to my wife though!

What about you Gul and everyone else?

I tried to play FF8 again a few months back but life is just too short to sit there looking at those summons again and again and again.

I know by admitting this, that I could possible lose my retro geek cred, but I have never actually finished any FF game.  I've played a couple of them, but never saw one all the way through.  This is one of those games, that I must finish.

If you have to finish one FF game, I wouldn't pick this one. 5, 6 or 7 would be my choice. I did enjoy 8 the first time round but the end dragged. You almost need to bring a book to read while the summon animations play.

I've been playing a lot of Halo 2, but Ive been trying to find an atari emulator few games I'd to play again. I was also thinking of buying the game Manhunt for PC. Played it years ago on PS2 and was a great game loved how dark it was it (That game is not for kids at all! ) due to the violence but great for the sick adult ..lol

I'd been working my way through a couple collections (Midway Arcade Origins, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection), but after E3, the announcement of the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 & 2.5 HD remix collections,  I started playing through KH: Chain Of Memories on my GBA emulator. I also broke out my original Xbox games and played a bunch of Star Wars Battlefront, and started Morrowind the other night. Otherwise, I've been playing a bit of Lost Planet 2 & Defiance.

Oh yeah... and I recently found the board game Battleship at a half-price bookshop for $5, no lost pegs or anything. Been playing that with my six year old nephew, and he's pretty damn good at it.

I've been playing Battleships with my six year old son and he loves it. I didnt have a board so we made one using pen and paper. Who needs xbox one?

So, I managed to finish Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories. I gave up on Morrowind, because the game fucking pissed me off... my sword hits won't register on the enemies. So now, my next gaming endeavors:

- Start Max Payne
- Finish The Last Of Us (not retro, but AMAZING!)
- Play through Borderlands 1 with buddies
