Just picked up Battle Engine Aquila, Star Wars Starfighter and Silent Hill 2 for PS2 for a total of $27. I'm so scared of playing SH2 but do want to because I heard it's one of the best games ever.

..I think I am not the only one who might be excited on this info.
Tomb Raider Trilogy FOR ps3. Legend, Anniversary and Underworld.

I am really looking forward to the new "prequel" Tomb Raider game. That trilogy of games was fun, Anniversary probably being the best of the three. Legend was good but the timetrials proved the levels were too short/small.

Since I own all three games on PS2, and I bought Underworld for PS3 for like $10, I'm not sure if I'll rush to get this, but if I can get it cheap with a trade-in I'd consider.

I would be really happy if Tomb Raider 2-4 were recreated with the Legend/Underworld engine. I'd be happy with a PS3 collection and remastering of the those three games too. (I never liked TR2 that much but TR3 and TR4 are my two favourite games from the whole series).

It is great, and difficult. I never finished it. I won't spoil it, but you have some fun battles

Out of all of the main Silent Hill Games in the main story arc (Origins, 1, 2, 3, 4, Homecoming) I would have to say that you have chosen wisely as SH2 is the best IMO in terms of balance of graphics/atmosphere/story.

It is good ay.

Incidentally, I have the Silent Hill 2 movie. It's Silent Hill 2 FMV's put together, with some in game footage. Well done I thought. So at least I have seen one ending

Started playing God of War III today and it's a great game. Played for hours and only took a break now so that I don't dream about cutting up bad guys tonight

It's really awesome right! I couldn't stop playing when I first bought it a few months ago. I'm almost at the last chapter (to destroy Zeus) but have since stopped for awhile after getting the Wii. Planning to go back and finish it one day. Have you played GOW I and II on the PS2 as well? Otherwise the digitally re-mastered version for PS3 is good too.

Playing Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart alot on the Wii for now. And for some funny reason when the other half goes to bed early in the week nights, I'm onto Wii Sports - the training and fitness parts.

Oh and not to forget Lego Harry Potter on my PSP as i_am_trunks had recommended! I know you said to get the Wii version, but I'm still waiting for the prices to drop further! And Toy Story 3 on the Wii as well.

I finished GOW III last night. The final battle took me a bit longer than it should because my tendency to attack, rather than block and avoid and take my time, was the wrong strategy. I want to pick up the remastered PS3 versions of the first two games when I see it cheap.

Next I should go back to "Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare" but that's not a game you can play for just 30 mins at a time and I don't have much more time than that to play. I might instead go and do some of the trophy hunting in WFC.

Check online stores for it, it is usually cheaper (since ps3 games are region free). I bought it for my brother in law when it was first released from play-asia for about AU$45, $15+ cheaper than Aussie stores, which were very hit and miss if they had (and even worse now its been out for over a year).

I havent played the PSP version of Lego HP Juzmel, I cant imagine it would be too similar to the Wii/PS3 versions (which seem to be the same game)... Hope its as good as the console version!

I've seen it still in a shops but still $50+ so I can wait (I have at least four other PS3 games I have not started yet sitting on my shelf ).
