The gaming diary

Played Virtua Tennis, it's a lot more fun than I expected.

Hands down one of the best games ever.

^Did you find the Temple of Shadows? Or is your character good? I just found it and it definitely adds a creepy element to the game, imo.

No I'm part of the temple of light I already*spoiler*killedgrimtheleaderofshadows*spoiler* and am a member of the temple of light and trying to buy it. As of right now,  I can't find the gargoyle in the furniture store which I hear is the easiest one to find. Ah well, when I have to bring this game back to Blockbuster on Friday, I'll rent Fallout 3.

Are you playing using surround sound? Dolby Digital practically found 40 of the 50 Gargoyles for me without having to look hard for them, the rest were found with that and a bit of searching.

^The Gargoyle in the furniture shop is upstairs in the upper corner behind the doorway of the room with the stoves and dressers.

I've found 7 or 8 gargoyles so far. I'm at the point where I have to find Lucien's diary. I've already bribed Jeeves.

I've been playing a lot of Star Ocean: First Departure for the PSP.

It's funny because I feel like I haven't actually sat down and played a game for over a year, but I started this and I haven't been able to stop. It brings back good memories of Star Ocean for PS1. I'm about 10 hours in so far...

Some more Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, almost halfway through.

I've been playing Power Stone 2 on my Dreamcast with my son. It's a great game.

Thanks Phoenix, and Tan I don't have surround sound in the room where my 360 is. And in Fable II right now, I have 12 gargoyles done and am about to start the Evil in Wraithmarsh quest. Though I'm scared to go back into Wraithmarsh...

Played some outrun on genesis and beat it and set new high scores for myself
Almost beat and set new records in twinkle tale
Tried ranger-x don't really like it

Played rock band 2 with the new drum kit with cymbals add on lots of fun. Like that its wireless and has cymbals. Wish it didn't set me back 110 bucks (plus game at 60)

More Fable 2. Trying to get into Brightwood for the Crucible quest, but I haven't found the main open gate into town yet.

I got God of War for the PSP. Pretty fun so far, but it is quite the button masher of a game...

Fallout 3, it's pretty hard if you don't stock up on supplies for this game i.e drinking water can kill you if you drink too much.

I found it a bit slow going at first but it's picking up the pace now that I'm out wandering. I know exactly what you mean with the supplies. Ironically enough I suppose in a way it matches the theme always surviving by the skin of your teeth never having enough of anything or feeling adequate for the task.

How good are the graphics for that game?

And is the control scheme any good or do you miss the L2/R2 and the second analog stick?

I played a couple minutes of a few PS2 games last night, the only one I was really enjoying was Star Wars Battlefront II. I actually played a game for more than an hour for the first time in months

The graphics are pretty good, about the norm for a PSP. Ironically, I have never played the PS2 version. I might pick it up soon, though, because it is quite fun.

In addition to God of War, I picked up Mario & Luigi: Partner's in Time for the DS. Quite fun as well. When I get back this weekend, reviews for both.
