For me, there are too many games. Too many.

Conker, Forza, Donkey Konga 1 and 2, and GTA: SA are in heavy rotation during the day. Although, GTA hasn't been seeing much play-time since I got Conker and DK1-2.

At night, I'm playing Metal Gear Solid 3 or Eternal Darkness, depending on if my girl is reading or not. I sometimes whip out DMC3, but damn, that game is so loud no matter what your volume setting is at! And now I've been playing a little bit of Fatal Frame and Fable also, since I never did beat Fatal Frame before when I had it on the PS2 and I wanted to make sure that Fable wasn't as bad as what my memory says it is. So far, my memory is right.

These are the games that I have that I haven't beat yet:
XBOX
Crimson Skies
Fatal Frame
Metal SLug 3
Morrowind
Pariah
Psychonauts
SC: Pandora Tommorrow
GCN
Metroid Prime: Echoes
Viewtiful Joe 2
PS2
Alien Hominid

Too many. I haven't even looked at Morrowind in months, same goes for Metal Slug, Splinter Cell, Crimson Skies, and Echoes. Everything else gets a turn maybe once or twice every two weeks.

I think I might have to cut myself off until I finish some of these.

Lately, my heaviest rotation has been GTA: SA, Jade Empire, and Soul Calibur II. RE4 is getting some playtime as well, but that may not last long since I'm a bit disappointed in the title.

Ace Combat 5 needs more gaming time, but I'm not sure if I want to continue or restart my entire campaign.

I've been pretty much skipping around some games hoping to find a primary game to play. Soon, my rotation will change to include NCAA Football 06, along with some Jade, San Andreas, Ace, and Calibur.

What don't you like about RE4?

What don't you like about RE4?

My main problems with RE4 has to do with the character movement (he moves like a constipated turtle) and the controls, which are exactly the same as the last RE games. I wasn't expecting a GOTY game like the reviewers have proclaimed, but I thought the controls would be a lot better. The view almost became another problem, but when Leon is out in the open, it's a lot better and I can see more of the game. Whenever it's a tight, enclosed place, it seems that Leon is in the way of my view.

I think my complaints are probably due to the fact that the game feels more like a shooter than the other REs, and I'm comparing it with other 3rd person shooters (more specifically, The Punisher and Mercenaries).
