Kevin's Watch

I am replaying the Ratchet and Clanks. As a single mother it is very therapudic to blow things up.

I enjoyed Rachet and Clank - Mindles fun and even some challenging bits.

Alternating time between Mario Kart DS and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Considering trading in Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls, as it's a bit too primitive for my tastes. Random encounters are a bit frustrating when the plot and characters are virtually non-existent. Additionally, the game doesn't tell you where to go next--sometimes have to look up a walkthrough just to get from A to B. Hope Final Fantasy III for the DS doesn't suffer from the same problems.

I played Mario Kart DS in GAME the other day, seems exactly like the console versions, which is no bad thing.

Still Playing Dragon Question. It is harder then the look of the box suggests.

The new Electonic Arts pro football sim game, Head Coach.

OK...but it seems to me that they could have done a much better job with it. It appears as if they rushed to get it to the store shelves just a bit too quickly.

Maybe the Madden games have spoiled me too much???

My GameBoy Advance version of Link to the Past arrived in the mail today. Portable Zelda, yay! DS Zelda on the way, yay!

Boiling Point: Road to Hell. For a game that was criticised (low average score) it's great. Seriously, it is very good.

Still playing EVE. Signed up in the end and it's eating away my life. I'm only really posting now because it's the daily server maintenance

Still playing Civilisation 4. The Expansion (warlords) came out recently, I've ordered it and am waiting by the door expectantly.

Metal Gear Solid 2. Played 1 many times a few years back, but never got round to this one. So far, more niggly than number 1.

Metal Gear solid 2 is great. I am looking back at old games I have got like Final Fantasy 7, Front Mission 3 and C&C: Red Alert. I want some of my old games back like Vandal Hearts 1 & 2, Suikoden 2, Warcraft 2, etc..

I'm sad to admit this, but I've been playing Kingdom Hearts 2. And I really hate this game, too. Heh. And yet, I keep playing. Simply for the sake of beating it, now.

I recently bought Shadows of the Colossus, but haven't started it yet.

I'll probably get the new FF7 spinoff and Xenosaga 3, but probably regret both of them, heh.

Had a go at C&C: Red Alert, for the first time in years. Still annoys the hell out of me. Discarded it in favour of Theme Park, which I've always been rubbish at. Never mind.

I've been playing a lot of Nethack lately.

I don't know why. It irritates me so much, but I can't help myself. Bad habits.

I just started Hitman Blood Money again. I'm not very good at it, so it takes me a super long time to get through a mission. But I'm getting better, really!

It is a beautiful game.

Played the Demo for 'Dead Rising' on the Xbox 360, one the the funniest and most fun games i have ever played.

Stop whatever you're doing, and play this game. Right now. It's no Ico, but it's lovely all the same. It makes me drool...

Playing on Party Poker as i speak/type.

I got myself a trial account on EVE about this time last year. I found myself in a catch 22 situation: I felt that there was little to do in the game without being in a corporation, but nobody will let you in to a corporation if you're on a trial account. Without that it just felt like endless "fly here on autopilot, fly there on autopilot" missions.

The key to Theme Park is having a good one-way system and knowing when to get out. I almost felt guilty about trapping visitors to my park on a circular path from which there was no escape (until they got really fed up and found their own way out, anyway), but then I saw how much money I was making.
