My favorites are the ones packaged with the australian package (i think), Condemned, PGR3 and GRAW.

I've got that game, but the language is in Japanese and it won't let me change it so I don't know what the hell is going on half the time

Hope you get your psp soon.

Well. I just ordered some ram for an old machine I have, a Logitech G5 mouse and a new slimmer keyboard (since my keyboard tray is so shallow). Not the cool new toys I had planned on getting, but I figured i'd save up so I could buy a car and/or house

My latest "toy".

With it I'll be able to measure distances travelled in freefall (yes, horizontal distance.) and compare to others on how good I'm flying.

I hope to do pretty good, my tracking skills aren't too bad. 8)

Look here, record for distance travelled (without a wingsuit !) over 45 seconds is at 2.188 Miles (3.5 kms) right now.

Funny story...

I showed up at the DropZone today for some winter helicopter jumps (first event of the year) and some other jumpers were wearing the same GPS as I was !

Guess the winter season left more jumpers than I looking for cool new toys to play with once the DZ reoppens in the spring.
