Well, my spring break is here, so let the games begin. Literally.

Mostly I have been trudging through the liscenses in GT4. Damn that is a good game, but after many hours of playing today I decided I needed to move on a bit.

A few days ago I got tempted to play Splinter Cell: Chaos Theorey. I decided that I wanted to start at the beginning . . . or at least the beginning that I had. Since I had Pandora Tomorrow burned on the Xbox I decided to give that game a whirl. It is very similar to a 3rd person Rainbow Six, with all the sneaking about and shit. However, I didn't really like the controls all that much. So I quickly put it down and tried another game that was supposed to be good: Chronicles of Riddick. Yeah, that game wasn't all that great either. It is a FPnotS and the interface acting with objects is wierd. It incorporated a RPG style conversation system where you talk to a person and have a set list of things to say, but you get to pick and determine the outcome. I guess the game won some brownie points for saying 'fuck.' Regardless I then moved on to the game bought at the same time as GT4, Starfox: Assault. It wasn't a bad game. There was a lot of diaglog that took too long for me to get through to get to the game. Apparently Nintendo didn't learn from Paper Mario 2. The game wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either.

At this point I thought about traing a bunch of my games in, attempting to get enough to buy a PSP or a DS. Then I could get some new puzzle games or something. This made me wonder . . . am I losing my lust for videogames for the sake of videogames. I thought about that for a while . . . it isn't that I'm not into videogames anymore, but I seem to be really finnickey (sp?) in what I pick up (yet I am playing Starfox). There are still new games that get me excited, but I have a hard time playing the mediocre games. Or maybe not. Maybe this is just me being bored because I've been doing jack shit all day (save a track workout).

In other news, this week should be productive, but we'll see how that goes. In other news, I love ATHF.
