Nhl09, Buzz, Nhl09. Also found the Lost game cheap, been working my way through that. I really want to pick up Fable & Fallout but they're gonna have to wait until the semester is over. I get too sucked in when playing rpgs.

If you want to try out CoD4 multiplayer with normal people that aren't good and just want to have fun you're more than welcome to join myself and a group of people from work. We usually play Sunday evening at around 9:00 or 9:30 for an hour or so. We have about four people so far and I'm trying to convince others to get an XBox and the game.

And as for hockey I do play that too; except NHL 2K9. It sounds like I'm the only person in Calgary that bought it.

Still trying to find the time to knock off Pegorino.... Occasional forays into NHL09 but the controls are still driving me nuts.

Eagerly awaiting GOW2. Hmm... I may just start playing GOW again to psyche myself up...

NHL 09, was working my way through both MGS4 and was almost done Uncharted, but then my system crashed, and my HDD got wiped. Haven't had the heart to go back and do it all again.

NHL 09. My girlfriend just picked me up Tiger Woods Golf '09 so I've just started into that. I really need to finish GTA IV but I'm stuck on one level. I have a bad habit of quitting halfway through shooters. I still need to finish Halo 3, Dead Rising, Saints Row, COD4, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, and Rainbow Six: Vegas.

I'm convinced GTA IV doesn't have an end. It just keeps going, and going, and going, and going, and going....

Finish Halo3. Won't take very long and the last level is rather awesome. After that, you'll never need to pickup a Halo game again.

As I mentioned earlier, mostly playing World of Warcraft. Looking forward to cutting into my WoW time with some Fallout3 though.

That's all a matter of taste really.
Pokerstars software is pretty good. They have done quite a few upgrades.
FullTilt is always good. Competition decent, software is decent. Has the most pros playing at that site.
UltimateBet / Absolute Poker. I had money in there, but they have had far too many security issues lately (2 in 2 years) of people using software to be able to view hole cards of other players. They are supposed to be launching Cerius in a little bit, so i am kind of waiting to see what happens there.
PKR is far advanced graphically wise than any other poker site out there. The only problem is it is based in Europe. So all the major tournaments are on GMT which means they start at around 5 or 6 pm GMT so that is about 9am mountain.
Bodog i like, but it isn't available to canadian residents yet. On the trackers it is usually rated as one of the easier sites to make money on. I am waiting for them to let canadian residents play, but you can view and watch people play on the site with out an account.
Hollywood poker havent played on there at all. Supposidly it is where the movie stars play.
Doyles Room I haven't played there. It's supposed to be pretty good.
There are a tonne more as well.

What did the mutants ever do to you?

I'm sure they are just misunderstood.

I'm on a vintage PC kick right now. I've just finished the original Max Payne, and now I'm working through Knights of the Old Republic.

After I'm done that I'm going to play sins of the solar empire.

From what I understand NHL 09 for the PC comes out tommorrow, however I'm not sure if I'm going to buy a watered down version of the console game, especially since it sounds like the Be A Player mode on the PC is very weak.

Oh man, I loved both Max Payne games. The movie looks like it could be good, too.

Edit: I just looked at the reviews on RT and they're not good... I never listen to reviews though. I'll check it out, I'm sure.
