Actually, Assault on Dark Athena is mostly a remake of the game for the next gen consoles with extra stuff. The PC version had an extra level over the original XBOX one, but the 360 and PS3 thing is going to have even more.
edit: or were you talking about the upcoming 360 version? I just assumed you meant the original xbox.

I meant the upcoming one, yes. I did not make that clear, sorry.

I found that one of the parts that ended up being a little anti-climactic was triple-max, and how easy it ended up being in getting out. You didn't get as immersed, but I suppose it ended up being a good choice, since it was getting a little tiresome to be caught over and over again and stuck in a higher security level.

I am currently playing NHL 09

aside from that I've also been playing NHL 09

and when I've had time... NHL 09.

(excited about the new Call of Duty and some other things but still
currently just on an NHL 09 high - gotta love the be a pro mode and the online
hockey league, even if my team is currently awful :))

Rock Band 2. If I spent as much time on real guitar as I do on this game, I'd play like freaking Hendrix.

I'll paraphrase a review that says you really don't have to worry about ammo in this expansion pack; they generally hook you up with grenades, guns, etc on a regular basis. More of a shoot-everyone-and-blow-shit-up game than Crysis was.

Does it start from where Crysis left off? I never finished Crysis because I didn't like fighting all those aliens. That's what I hated about Far Cry too.

Still FFIV on the DS, got through the boss from hell after level upping and strategizing and now I have Edge in my party and have to level up to get him up to speed. Sigh.

Fifa 09 which is alright, Far Cry 2 which makes me cry (why is the AI no different from Far Cry!!!!!) and Dead Space, which is set piece sex pizzle.

No... It's set supposedly in parallel to the original game, but in different locations. The last few levels of the game are also fighting those damn aliens, but you've got some extra firepower. You play as Psycho, he Australian guy.

hahaha. i'm still playing guitar hero in its various forms

This is sort of true, but I still think it's a great game. Once you become a space-fairing civilization, things slow down a lot. The game turns into "Go here. OK now go here. Go over there now." However, I still enjoyed outer space for some time. I stopped playing before I reached the top rank. Also, I should note I didn't buy it, so I have no online content.

I was addicted to this until I made it into the Tribal mode. The creature stage was so much fun, but to be quite honest everything else bores the hell out of me. I don't enjoy designing small crappy looking buildings and cars.

I made it to the space stage but I only did the very first mission type thing.
