OK, I'll follow suit with some other folks and add in my non-RPG gaming:

Digital: Onimusha 2. That end boss is a bitch. Or maybe I just suck.

Analog: Siege of the Citadel, a boardgame based on the Mutant Chronicles RPG. Similar to the Milton-Bradley Heroquest, but extremely broken. Still fun though, even if we hardly completed a mission. Oh, and dice hate me. Just sayin'.
Story by the Throat! Relentlessly pursuing story in roleplaying, art and life.
