It's been a while since we had a review, but like I said, ATHQ is primarily a gaming site, so let's hear about your latest accomplishments.

I'll go first. I have been really enjoying World of Warcraft. I have gotten two characters to level 10, my Human Rogue and my Tauren Hunter. I really like the relaxed pace of the game, and most of all, the ability to solo. There is so much to do in this game and it feels like anything you do nets you some experience points

I have also been playing Halo 2, albeit I have been slacking off on it since WoW came out, I try to get online for a match or two when I can. My W/L record is pretty poor so I won't go into that

Who's next?

Beat Metal Gear Solid 3 a few weeks ago. Took me three days. That game was an amazing experience. I'm replaying it on hard mode now. Best gameplay of all the MGS games. However, the "gimmick" bosses are horrible, except for The End, and somewhat The Fear. I hated the voice overs too. Russians don't speak with Russian accents? Or is it suppose to be everyone is really speaking in Russian, but for the viewers pleasure its tranlated into english (hence the comment to Snake "You speak Russian pretty well" while no Russian was being spoken)? MGS2 had Russian accents, so I have no idea what they were trying to do here. And near the end of the game it seems they do everything to stretch the game out to be longer.

Besides those nitpicks, I still think its the best Solid game. They upped the speed and action. And the whole way through the game, I had no idea where it was going to go next.

I need to finally buy Tales of Symphonia, since I played a ways through it when renting it. Tales made me like RPGs again.
