  I got halfway through crisis core before I got bored of doing nothing but hit one button.
  
  I did really like the Metal Gear Acid games, though, so goes to show what kind of taste I have. Jeanne D'Arc was really good, too.

  I think the same thing about the DS. Sure there are TONS of games out for it, but 75% of them are shovelware. There are some good games, but I think there are better games for hte PSP.

  God of War was quite good. GTA was also good I think.
