Congrats on the new baby! We just have one son right now and he's really well behaved...which makes us worried that the next one might be horrible lol. Your family's looking good though 

I've hardly played any games this week because we've had friends staying with us from out of town, but I've been playing SMT IV too. I had trouble with negotiating at first but I got the hang of it with some practice. Also finally finishing up Gears of War 2 with my wife. We started it over a year and half ago but never finished it. In the Locust palace now. Seems like there was something else...oh, some Animal Crossing. Those weeds aren't going to pull themselves!

Yay! Glad you liked it. I prefer my music more melodic than a lot of jazz but this is good stuff.

Well I'll be darned

I have Catan! Used to play with some friends from high school/college but I haven't touched it in several years. I like it but games tend to go pretty long, especially with 4-6 people. I guess a 2 player game would go a lot quicker. I've heard really good things about Carcassonne.

Well it's the Backloggers Anonymous game right now and I actually have it, but they're starting to talk about it and I haven't touched it yet 

I have no experience with any of these games but hey, I like Kickass. Haven't heard anything about the second one but I'll wait and make up my mind for myself.

Like several of the chaps on here, I am very late to the party and haven't played any of them. I have the first one and the free copy of the second (woot woot!), so I don't have an excuse lol. But first I need to play Mirror's Edge!

Board games are great but I suffer from a similar problem of lacking people to play them with. Still, I've enjoyed some good ones, like Pandemic and Forbidden Island (those are both cooperative games, which is pretty cool). But my favorite is Dominion, a deck-building game. I could play that all the time and though it's best with four people, my wife and I have played it plenty by ourselves.

Well gee, that's today 

Yeah, I think those DOA beach games are meant to be...ahem...jerky...
