Super Metroid was a truly amazing game for its era that I've given a couple of playthroughs, and yes, a definite classic that everyone should play. I almost wish I had it on SNES back in the day rather than on an emulator several years later, but it's one of those games that benefits from a quicksave function even though it's sort of cheating...
I got the Euro Truck Simulator 2 demo a couple of days ago and found it to be a surprisingly fun driving game. It's got a detailed world and balances out realism with gameplay quite well without taking itself too seriously, and it can teach you a little about speed limits, mirror usage, motorway driving, and reversing a vehicle with a trailer. Which I can't master. :P Dunno if I want to pay £24 for the full game considering how generous the demo is. I'll wait for it to be on sale.
Over the past month and a half, I played through the Mass Effect series. Shame about the ending of 3, but I knew what I was letting myself in for. The rest of it was incredibly awesome though - I wish there were more games with (mostly) decent script writing, that had in depth relations between deep and memorable characters, like ME. The dynamic storyline based on the player's actions was awesome too, even if the changes are minor. In the end, the storyline is what made the series worth playing, since the gameplay itself wasn't really anything special in either game IMO.
I should go.
