Video Game Reviews
Last night I had some time to play my Playstation 2 demo disk after Alanna went to bed. So, here's what I played.
Ratchet Deadlocked - o.k. game, but they've turned a pretty fun (Sonic the hedgehog type)adventure into more of a battle droid game and it's not quite as much fun. (8)
Shadow of the Collosus - This game would have worked in about 5 years. They tried to be so realistic with it that it turns out being worse quality. I'd rather play a character that doesn't look like the game creators failed in their attempt to make it look realistic. To give them some credit, there's no way I could have done it. Then again, I went to college for accounting, not graphic design. (8.2)
Sly 3 - I seriously think I could have won the battles better by putting my controller on the ground and stomping on it since pushing individual buttons apparently has no effect on what your character is doing on the screen. (6)
King Kong - I've seen much better shooters and it's not much fun fighting as King Kong when all you can do is one or two types of hit. (6)
Star Wars Battlefront II - I'm definitely going to rent this one so I can play it more. It was pretty fun. (9)
Soul Caliber III - Pretty good for a fighting game (8.5)
Jak X - Combat Racing - A racing game with guns on the front of your car. Hmmm. Pretty fun. (7.5)

My Long Absence
Hi folks,
Sorry for the very long drought without posts. I've been very very busy with the Thanksgiving / Christmas season. Kristen began working a few evenings a week. In the accounting world, the end of the year is huge and it seems to sneak up on most people. Sometime around the 16th of November, the powers that be looked back on the year 2005 and said "Whoa! We've only got 30 business days left to do this and this and this and this and this and this....." So, I've been working more than normal and have had less time to allow my brain to venture far from my intercompany reconciling efforts at work.
I will try and post more often.
Jay
