Coming down under eh? Sorry if that sounded Canadian. You shouldn't be playing games, you should be going places. If you're coming to Queensland, there's the Gold Coast - oh, but the blasted schoolies is on down there. You'll want to avoid that like the plague. But we have Fraser Island. That place has wild dingos you can see (but must never, ever feed, it's bad for them).
It depends on what State you go to, but there should be plenty to see. Unless you're actually going to spend most of your time in Brisbane, hah, this place has virtually nothing, except that ferris wheel. If you're going to NSW, obviously there's Sydney and the Opera House. If you're going to Victoria, you might be able to get up close to the twelve apostles (well, what remains of them) - giant rock pillars standing near the shore as a result of the process of erosion.
If you're going to Western Australia, I guess you could see some..... mines. Or the desert. Honestly, I know next to nothing about WA. Then there's Tasmania, which no one pays any attention to. Seriously, we pay more attention to New Zealand than Tasmania. But since Tasmania doesn't have many buildings, and is quite far down south, you should get great skies for star watching. South Australia has some nice....er... well, I don't know much about that state either. Australia's a big place - larger than the continental USA, but home to only 23 Million people. And most of the centre of it's an arid hell that no one wants to live in.
But regardless of which state you go to, you've got to go to Uluru, or Ayer's Rock if you will. Simply magnificent.
And stay the heck out of Canberra. Supposed to be our Capital, the place is a boring joke. It's even more boring than Brisbane, which I thought wasn't possible when I visited recently.
But if you insist on playing video games, and need a long, LONG video game to get you through, either a Final Fantasy or Persona game would do you right. Persona 3 came out on the PSP recently, and while it's certainly isn't as good on the PSP as on the PS2, it lasts a hell of a long time (67 hours in, still haven't finished but I'm close).
But seriously, bring games over here, don't buy games here. We've got nothing that any other country doesn't have, and our prices are at least 20 dollars higher than the US, for no reason other than "they can charge that much, so they do".
