You may have noticed i haven't really been active on GS at all - in Unions, System Wars, blogging or user reviews. Inversely: my time spent going through my backlog of games have increased, tremendously.
I don't know when i'll start resuming reviews but for now i've just rated the games i've completed. If anyone would like to read my review of a particular game in my recently rated games list, don't hesitate to ask - i'll consider wirting it. 
Anyway, here's a "small" update on game related things;
Guilty Gear was an excellent price of £5, about the price of a simple takeaway meal.
I have opened all but Trauma Center at the moment.
Played through RE: UC co op - very good game within its genre.
Ghost Squad completed single and co op - Average. Worth picking up on the cheap.
Link's Crossbow Training, yet to finish all missions - Good value with 'gun', challenging.
Metroid Prime 3 - Stunning environments, some aspects were underwhelming.
Playing through Okami right now - simply beautiful.
Finally fiinished Sub Space Emissary in Super Smash Bros Brawl...*uh hum*...
Half Life 2: Episode 2 was excellent, it's right up there with HL2.
Completed Luigi's Mansion in around 2 days (between work, sleep) - Very good, but very short.
I'm also playing through Resident Evil Zero on the GC. Very good so far...
----------------------------------
2 New games i got in the last 2 days: Mario Kart Wii and Boom Blox.
Mario Kart Wii was very good, i've only played through 3 cups in 50CC, all with just the steering wheel. I've yet to try online, Wiimote + Nunchuck, Gamecube Controller.
I haven't tried Boom Blox yet, i'll give it a go once i've done these 2 things - complete Final Fantasy IV DS (very almost there), and Bioshock PC (just about nearing the end).

Metroid Prime 3 - Stunning environments, some aspects were underwhelming.
Both are massive understatements!
- It's difficult making time for games - for me, it means cutting back on time spent surfing the web. Hope you do well this week. *thumbs up*VGobbsesser - Not really that much if you take into account that i buy all my games when discounted to an extent. My motto is: you don't have to buy the games straight after release, and games always come down in price - it's just a matter of how much and when. Besides, my back catalog ensures a healthy buffer for when i can't find good bargains or when there are game droughts.
Foolz3h - I was gobsmacked when i first laid eyes on sky town, and simply stunned as i approached towards the end. Neat touches like looking at your face reflected off your visor, seeing your own bones in your hand and pressurised rooms blowing or sucking you in/out were astounding. However, the character models didn't appeal to me that much, the cut scenes apart from your ship weren't impressive, and the shooting didn't feel satisfying despite having excellent controls.
In other news, i just completed Bioshock last night - wow, as expected of a GOTY candidate. Tried out Boom Blox this morning and i am surprised at how fun it actually was despite its 'childish' appearances. In some ways it reminds me Blast Corps on the N64, just much more simpler to get into.
