What I'm playing
I'm considering this as a new column...let's see how it goes.
X-Box: The Warriors - I bought this this weekend. Great game, cool story. I like how it takes the movie and adds to it. I've reviewed the game here before, so I'll leave it at that.
Gamecube: Metroid Prime Echos - Not earthshattering or a huge departure from the original, but Prime was a great game so that's not a bad thing. I'm a little down on the whole "Mirror Universe" games...seems like a cheap way to get more gameplay out of the same areas. Still, there have been some great games with that theme, namely the SNES Zelda, Ocarina of Time, and Castlevania Symphony of the Night.
DS: Metroid Prime Pinball - I'm a sucker for pinball games, but they are a gamble. For every Pokemon Pinball, you get a Mario Pinball Land or Pac-Man Pinball. Fortunately, this game rules. The only downside two it is that the dual screen is a bit hard to get used to. Besides that, it does a great job of mixing classic Metroid with Pinball.
PS2: Guitar Hero - A fun game for those not coordinated enough to do DDR. Great selection of tracks. You get classics like Iron Man, and more obscure ones like Thunderkiss 65 by White Zombie which brings out the old ECW mark in me.
