Play: October

If anyone's a gamer (or a gaymer, in the most crass, obnoxious, niche coining of a term I've read this year ... thanks for nothing ign.com), here's what I'm playing currently or will be shortly. Strap your controllers on and fire up the Playstation 2; it's a party.

• Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
• Tales of the Abyss
• Final Fantasy XII
• The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess

And games I've recently finished playing:

• Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
• Blade Dancer
• Grandia III

Yes, I'm a huge RPG junkie -- and it's very nice of Major Man to tolerate my habits.
