Chrono Trigger remake on the DS. Its been in my "to play" queue for a long time.

And ya Oblivion has all kinds of side quests. I went through all the fighter's guild quests, the Arena quests and a bunch of other side quests before starting the main quest.

So I started the main quest tonight and it is frigging hard........as if it a quest I would have done at level 2 or 3. I'm at level 7 now and I got my ass kicked by nasty Clanfear and the ilk. I won't attempt this till level 10. MORE SIDE QUESTS!
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

If I remember correctly, the enemies's strength do scale with your level. But I do know I was higher than level 7 - definitely more sidequests, and get some good loot.

Firepro Wrestling Returns for PS2. I can't stand actual pro wrestling, but this game is all kinds of addictive.

Yeah Fallout 3 is definitely worth it. I first finished it playing a good character...I'm now redoing it as a bad character. But that stopped when I picked up Alan Wake which I'm currently playing.

Have to go back to Bioshock 2 cause I never finished it.

The mobs do scale with your level.

****Nerd Alert****

Mob stands for mobile, they were monsters that would follow a set path or follow you around instead of monsters that would stand still and fight. This is back from the days when a good chunk of adventure games games were text based, and I had to walk to school up hill both ways.

They term stuck though and is used to refer to pretty much all computer controlled baddies in MMOs and RPG games. Really more in MMOs.

Broke down and bought a PS3 Monday night. Came with the games God of War 1&2 and Killzone 2. Bought a used copy of Madden NFL 2010 that's I've been playing since I got the machine. Love it. The Rams may be 1-15 in real life but we went to the playoffs in the video game!
