Nintendo DS
When this game launched in Japan back in March, I was
extremely excited. My Facebook has had a picture of Kenshin and Mewtwo since
then (I should really change it). I never thought the game would see a US release,
and only three months later! I was going to write an entire article about how I
wish these niche games would come over here, but now that’s a moot point. I
bought it on a whim yesterday and I’ve really been enjoying it. So far I’ve
united Ransei with the Main Hero and I’m about to dive into the side-story
episodes.PC

I popped this game on a few nights ago because I couldn’t
sleep. Did I think this would help? No, not really. Fortunately I stopped
before it got too intense. That is to say, I came around a corner and caught a
glimpse of a strange bipedal beast-man just as he disappeared around a corner
and I nearly pee’d my pants. I play with the lights off and headphones on as
the game directed me. Yeah. Well, I’m enjoying it when I am in the mood to have
the pants scared off me. It is a great idea for a game.
With the release of Gods
& Kings just this week, I have had “Civilization” on my mind. I decided
recently that I would try and wait for the expansion to go on sale, but it
doesn’t stop me from picking away at the long list of achievements I have yet
to conquer in the original game and its downloaded content. I started up a game
as Arabia and am pretty well situated in the northeast of a continent. I have a
wall of City States protecting me from France, Mongolia and China. I will
strive for economic dominance. 
The last time I played The
Sims 3 back in March, I had created a small household that was made up of 4
cloned and killed Sims modeled after myself. I decided to pluck Electro Oliver
out of his home and make him a successful businessman in his afterlife, but I
got bored playing as a ghost and decided to boot up the original Sim Oliver
before death claimed him. For the first time since I’ve owned the game, I
managed to get Fishing to Lv5, Gardening to Lv7 and Cooking to Lv10 to make
myself Ambrosia and thus immortal.

I’m still working on my analysis of the Final Fantasy XIII plot. I’m paying a lot of attention to the
Datalog and learning small tidbits here and there, but so far nothing is so
ground-breaking that the entire game suddenly makes sense. I’m waiting to get near
the end where all the rules established early in the game start to fall apart. I’m hoping this time things will add up. I’m part
of the way through Chapter 6 out of 13 so I’m making some good progress. I may
publish my notes when it’s said and done.
I did not play Planescape: Torment at all this week. I cannot get into it. Sigh.
