Not STILL. Before I was playing TW 2004. Now I'm playing TW 2005.
Tiger Woods is just really well done. The play on Xbox Live sucks though. EA did a terrible job getting that game online. It's so glitchy that it's pretty much unplayable, even if you're just playing a laid back game against a friend.
Still, it's one of those rare games that is WELL worth the $50 price tag. Hundreds of hours of playability there.

Except for Simgolf, and monkey golf, which was created by the devil himself.

Do the new features in AW2 add enough to the game to jusitfy it? All I saw were a few new CO's and a new tank.

Well I never played the first game, so i'm not sure exactly how it compares. The CO's now have (kind of irratating) special powers, and I think theres only one new unit (the neotank). I expect theres all new maps though. I know what you mean about it eating into your social life. I bought it just to play on a particulary gruelling flight, but now i'm on it all the time

The original was well balanced on the CO powers front, only 3 got out of hand (Eagles double turn, Grits Sniper, and Max's unstoppable 200% attack. ), but the rest were pretty even. The first game bought for the GBA, AW remains the best today. One for the top 20 games of all time list.
Fire emblem's by the same developers and looks similar, I just haven't had the free time to get round to playing it yet.

I was addicted to this game for a while, although as of late I've not been playing it as religiously.
I think Jade Empire is a great game. The graphics are fantastic (similar in style to Fable). The fighting style/battle system is easy to grasp and quite satisfying. The only issue I've had so far is that (after 40 hrs) the battles do get somewhat repetitious. "A" to attack, "B" to evade, rinse, repeat. But there is still strategy involved, and some really challenging, fun bosses. Load times aren't too bad, considering that the maps are gigantic. I've played about 40 hrs so far, and from what I've heard, I'm about 2/3 done.
It would be a good game to rent, since you could feasibly complete it in a weekend (plus maybe a day or two), as long as you didn't do every single sidequest. It has replay value too, since you can -just like Fable- be good or bad, follow different paths, fall in love with different people, and get a different ending sequence.
Oh, and one of the voice actors is John Cleese.

However, John Cleese, woo!... But he was also in James Bond:The World is Not Enough. Tough call... Either way, I'll wait until Microsoft's money grubbing hands decide to port it to the PC like every other XBox only game out there.
