Remind me to get a Slowpoke for each one of you.
For the record, groups only work locally. I believe it's got something to do with the game being able to synchronize certain events between people, so you don't gain anything when you're on your own.
As for Puzzle Quest, I've heard it's very addictive, though you'd have to like games in the same vein (Bejeweled, etc.)

It is pretty good, at least in my opinion. Whether or not you'd like it too would depend on how much you like puzzle games like it (I hear it's very similar to Bejeweled). I'll switch back out to Pokemon again before too long, but for now, I'm still busy on the Puzzle Quest storyline. Or I would be, but I just today got Starcraft 1 and the expansion, so those might keep me busy for a while...

Starcraft was the best RTS game i've ever played, the only think wrong with it was the huge amount of time u'd spend building up your base in multiplayer games, there was never really any ability to rush attack, but that was changed with Warcraft 3. I can't wait for Starcraft 2 the trailers on the site look amazing, anyone who hasn't seen them yet should check them out http://www.starcraft2.com.

I recently rented Spiderman3 and Pirates for 360 and wii respectively... Spiderman3 is the worst game I've ever played. It's like what San Andreas would be like if you still had the chance of dying from walking off sidewalks that waqs present in vice city. The game is a complete rehash of Spiderman 2 but with ten trillion bugs! not limited to falling through the ground for eternity and going through walls and occaisionally gravity works upside down forcing you to wall crawl the sidewalk. Apparently these bugs are not just limited to the 360 release but if the game wasn't so sure these would make it impossible to play from start to finsih witout breaking a few things. Three times I have had to reset my console near the end of a long mission.
Pirates 3 however is hilarious and fun. It's also scaling difficulty for those who play "hardcore" and children or less serious players.
Spiderman gets a vote of -3 and would be the worst game I've ever played if it weren't for the time I played chicken with a train.
Pirates gets a rating of 7, rent before you make a decision because although it can be completed by anyone it wouldn't neccesarily be enjoyed by all.

I only use MSN (PM or e-mail me if you want it - I don't want to make it public here), but if you don't want to use that, I've no problem with arranging a specific time for the trading via mail or PMs.
As far as I can tell, you're 6 hours behind me (UTC-4 -> UTC+2, assuming you observe DST as well), so it should be possible to arrange something in the afternoon (your time).

Greensenshi, I dont know if the Wii version of RE4 would be any better as you use the Wii remote to aim on screen rather than fiddling with analoug sticks, might be worth a try.
Yea GOW2 is amazing, most likely one of the best PS2 games ever.
Cant believe you havnt played the first one Brooms, its a classic!!
If you guys like God of War you'll love Heavenly Sword for PS3, it has a very similar combat system, another game which looks amazing is a next gen adventure game called Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, check it out!

I couldn't see how aiming with a remote would be any more difficult for me then using analog sticks. I'd almost certainly love to try the Wii version except lack of job right now means I won't be buying much of anything gaming wise. That also includes a PS3, but once I do get one(and I very most am certain to) I'll check that game out.

check this out, I love living on the border. I was thinking about buying a PSP today and so I was trying to find the best place to buy in Canada.
Futureshop in town
Wal-Mart across the border
So Future Shop 199.99 CDN
and Walmart 169.82 USD
I converted with the daily exchange rate today (.930399) and ended up with
FS=199.99 CDN
WM= 181.71 CDN
Now mind you this isn't a huge difference but still, a difference none the less. Almost a month or so exchange was 1.0052 I wish I bought one then. I think for now I'll sit on my hands and hope for a higher bracket ebcause 93 is a bit low lately but I thought I would share my marketplace experience.
Edit, if you want to know how close to the border I am I just posted it on the map located on the top right of this page.
