Oh, I see you no one told you. They also released a Zelda game on the Super Nintendo. It's a bit of a sleeper hit, though.
Not saying that ALttP was bad. I love that game. I went through a few play throughs. But if I were to choose that over Minish I'd choose Minish. I really liked the shrinking mechanic a lot. That pulls me towards Minish more than any other 2D Zelda released. That's just me I guess.

In any event, I don't know if it was mentioned but my random gaming thought is the distaste I have for the cases for retail games being much cheaper and flimsy like. The 3DS cases are much thinner than the DS and has a bunch of squared out holes in 'em.

Try playing Crazy Taxi without breaking any traffic laws sometime. It really adds a new dynamic.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

The last bundle of games I got is just not doing it for me. I'm currently loving Dead Space... but I know I won't want to play it again. Mass Effect 1/2 started good, but kinda burned out. Portal 2 was fun, but the whole thing felt a little too easy compared to the first. Less puzzle and more "place portal HERE".

Meh, I'm overall starting to lean more towards happy games. Like Mario and such. Old school games. I still have my moments of darkness, but happy or carefree games are where I'm starting to lean. IE, I feel Gears of War is carefree and somewhat over the top, which keeps me from feeling bad about cutting people up with a chainsaw.

I'm kind of feeling the same way after playing all of these Resident Evil games. Especially RE4 which literally has me stressed out at times. I've been thinking about playing something a little more upbeat when I finish, but I'm not sure what. I don't really have any "new" games to try, not much is interesting me at the moment.

Dead Space is worth a second playthrough on the highest difficulty...

Shit your pants all over again... :mrgreen:

That's a shame, Harper.

I get these feelings of it just being something I don't want to keep in the house. Resident Evil games don't get me that vibe... Dead Space isn't something I really want to keep around looking into the future. I don't want my possible future kids playing that. And personally, I'm not a fan of mutants/screwed up alien shit being the enemy. The babies...

But its all relative. I look at the gore and such in Gears of War, and laugh. I look at it in Dead Space, I cringe. I dunno, atmosphere or something.

I can relate.

Do you have any modern consoles or a decently capable PC? Jet Grind Radio HD is coming soon, and it's impossible (for me) to not have a stupid grin while playing that game. :)
