I started playing Skyward Sword a month ago and I would say this is one of the best of the 3D Zelda games, up there with Ocarina of Time and maybe even better than Twilight Princess.
And my god... it actually doesn't have Zelda or Ganon this time! And there's voice acting, my god!!!
Okay, so Zelda does show up in this one (of course), and I'd say she's the sexiest of all the Zeldas. Ganon isn't in this one (yet), but may pop up near the end as always. Instead, the villain is this skinny emo twink that looks like he escaped from a Kingdom Hearts game.
And there's no voice acting. Come on, I can understand this being true in older games where sound files take up valuable space and processor powet, but not with the Wii. Not having voice actors makes the game seem a bit outdated. Don't give a shit what tradition says, and I think the Japanese worry too much about tradition anyway.
Also, this Christmas break I'll be playing the second installment of the Marathon FPS series, since I played the first one last Christmas break.
Marathon is a FPS trilogy made by Bungie in the 90s before they made Halo, and it's almost as good as Halo. The game has things unheard of in FPS games back then, like an elaborate storyline, and in the second and third games, multiple paths and even, for the third one, multiple endings.
The game code was released in the early 2000s and has been updated with new graphics, and is free to download for any system, just google "Marathon Game".
