I finally got around to upgrading my video card from a 7900GS to an 8800GT so I've been rocking out Mass Effect PC on Ultra High textures/High pixel effects and it looks absolutely amazing. I kind of understand the ZOMG GRAFX whores a little bit better now, although I don't think I need this level of realism in general to enjoy a game. It's definitely been a nice change though. Also of interest for me are all of the unlockable achievements, which make replays a lot more goal-oriented and add to the entertainment value. I went from being worried that I wouldn't get my money's worth out of the game to being completely addicted to it...a common experience for my gaming style, but this is both a best-case and worst-case scenario =)
Final Fantasy IV DS really hasn't done anything for me; I forgot how little I enjoyed the game when I first played it, and though the port is very nicely done, there's really very little here for a replay other than the added cutscenes and completely unnecessary voiceovers. Very pretty, though.
One of my friends is trying to convince me to start WoW as he levels up a new character, but I'm afraid I'd be staring down the barrel of [an even more] serious game addiction if I do that XD
