Let me know what you think. Maybe if you get past it without any major hiccups I'll be inspired to try it again.

I am really starting to rethink some of my own list this week. Nintendo games in particular are in my crosshairs right now...

I'm not noise, but I didn't think that part was that bad once I figured out to not overthink it too much.

I played some more Resident Evil 4 tonight, and beat level 3-1, the first castle level. I stopped after that because that level stressed me out so badly! There was an annoying miniboss that required me to distract it with noise, and a mean section where I hasd to guard Ashley whilst I was being attacked a lot myself. The game is certainly getting trickier!

@alienjesus I loved Resident Evil 4! I just beat it over the winter. Perfect for rainy days. And things definitely get trickier in the castle.

As for my list...
1. Fatal Frame-PS2 (still stuck at the end of Night 1, but I think I know what to do now)
2. Ico-PS2 (Beaten)
3. Resident Evil-GCN (haven't started)
4. Mario Kart Wii-Wii (Almost done with the cups but still so much to unlock!)
5. Tomb Raider-PS (haven't started)
6. Timesplitters-PS2 (replaced)
7. Metroid Prime-GCN (haven't started)
8. Indigo Prophecy-PS2 (haven't started)
9. Fallout-PC (Level 3)
10. Kingdom Hearts-PS2 (still stuck near the end)
I'm actually making progress! I just beat Ico and I really liked it. I think the only thing that kept me from LOVING it was having to babysit Yorda all the time. But I love 3D adventure stuff like that. I didn't get as sucked into the story as I thought I would though.

As for Fallout, I'm persevering farther than I ever thought I could the first time I played it. I'm level 3! And hoping to find that water chip soon... *nervous laugh*

I was totally killing it in Mario Kart Wii until I got to the last few cups on 150cc. Very frustrating. And I still have a TON of characters to unlock so I guess I've got a while left with this one. Not complaining though. I've played all the console Mario Karts and this one is my favorite.

As for Timesplitters. I think this one will have to wait. I've got too many PS2 games as it is and the price of SSB Brawl just came down so I do believe I'm gonna have to go pick that up and beat it as soon as possible. Gotta build up my Wii library anyway :D

New #6. Super Smash Bros. Brawl-Wii

I'm thinking I'm gonna modify my list a little, but not more than one or two. I started up Killer 7 and didn't really care for it...

I'm trying to decide if I should just completely rehaul my list. Of course if I do so it needs to happen ASAP...

I guess I'm a rarity in that I'm pretty happy with how my list is going myself. Resident Evil 4 is a game in a genre I'm just not really that into, but I'm enjoying it well enough in short bursts, and the rest of the games on my list I'm pretty excited about from the little experience I've had with them so far.

it actually didn't take me too long to brainstorm a bunch of games that I'd rather be playing. As such, I think I've whittled it down to a pretty solid list that I might just transition to:

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Cthulhu Saves the World
Daytona USA
Garou: Mark of the Wolves
Indigo Prophecy
Sonic Adventure
SSX3
Super Contra
X-Men

...that's 9 games anyway, so I'm getting close.

Maybe Sam & Max Save the World for #10?
