^When I worked packing PS2 games, we'd throw extra stuff in.  Sometimes a extra manual, other times a extra disc.

Played more Civilization Revolution.  Won through Culture.  Took much longer than I would have liked.

Which Civ did you use and at what difficulty? Sometimes games can be longer if everyone wants to fight and/or is making unreasonable demands.

As you get more familiar with the game and advance in difficulties, Culture and Economic are often the easiest and fastest victories to attain. This is primarily due to the effective use of spies (don't underestimate them), especially when playing vs. the AI.

Started Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance last night. Combat was a bit slow at first, but it's getting better...

I've been playing Civilization Revolution again. I'm trying to unlock all of the achievments. Only 9 more to go.

Been Working on FF3 since beating Harvest Moon today. I'm at the Tower of Owen. For some reason this Final Fantasy seems kind of bland. Oh well, I'll do my best to stick with it.

Might start Baten Kaitos tomorrow. Or maybe Metal Gear Solid if it arrives in the mail.

Downloaded Sandy Beach for Wii and tried that out a bit.
I only tried the Crab Battle mode which shows 10 rounds of play. Hopefully the Free Play is the same game play but lasts for ever like Defend your Castle.

Played some more Brain Age 2.

Just about finished up with March of the Minis for DS

Played Worms: Open Warfare on the DS and "beat" that again played the 20 challenges. The game is lackluster single player compared to console versions. Its saving grace is multiplayer.

More Civ:Rev.  Won a economic victory with the Aztecs 3 turns before the max. (yikes) and won with Germany with a domination win

[phoenix1967]

^Cool. Have you gotten a Tech win yet?

[BadEnoughDude]

More Fire Emblem for the Gamecube today.

[phoenix1967]

CoD 3 online with den68 last night.

Also played some more CivRev. Still trying to win on Deity with the Mongols. I'm off to a good start; it's 1000AD and it looks like I'm going to have to go for an Economic win since Rome is way ahead in Culture and Greece is following it's typical Tech plan.

Played more Sandy Beach. Not enough like Defend your Castle. I'll see about writing up a review.
Played Defend your Castle for a bit.
Beat March of the Minis.
Played some more Brain Age.
Going to play UMK on the drive to RI hopefully unlock some more stuff.

Might start up one of the few DS games i haven't played.

[modest9797]

^Cool. Have you gotten a Tech win yet?

Nope, that's the last I need.

Finally finished Crackdown. Absolutely amazingly fun game to play. When I started, I didn't really care for it, but once you get into it, it's awesome.

Now I'm out of new 360 games, so I guess I'll either start Okami or Blast Works on the Wii next.

MGS3. Gonna play some Rogue Galaxy later, maybe.
