I bought Castlevania:  Dawn of Sorrows on Friday and played it all weekend.  The touch screen support seems to have just been an after thought.  It does make navigating the menus alot easier.

Played some Yuri's Revenge with Rick against the PC last night online.

I finally put some effort into Hitman: Blood Money and got past level two.

I finished the Paris opera house level. I went through very stealthily, then when it came to blowing up the chandelier the damn detonator wouldn't work. So I went up into the rafters in my suit and tried setting it off, but then a guard saw me and started shooting. I killed him then took his clothes and ran out of the building. At least he was the only one I murdered.

Now I'm on to the hospital level.

It's good fun now that I'm into it.

Played some more Command & Conquer: Yuri's revenge, online last night with Scott.


A few quotes from characters in the game.

"sir, yes sir"
"Tanks are no match"
"Were uncrushable"

I played for the PS2 yesterday:  Sprint Cars: Road to Knoxville, God of War demo, Madden '03, and another demo that I'm forgetting right now...lol

Played some more Yuri's Revenge last night online with tynstar.

He was getting his ass kicked and was down to 5 soliders remaining, but luckily he found a crate and it had a MCV construction yard in it.

We pulled off the victory after being on the defensive for most of the game.
I had more than 1000 kills thanks in part to me protecting us for a while.

I've been getting annoyed with Dead Rising. It seems there's only one place to save it, so every time I die I go a long way back in the game.

I've been doing quite well in Project Gotham Racing 3. The Cool Beans in PGR2 put me off because it seemed to reward poor driving. They seem to be ok in PGR3.

I downloaded the Sonic demo, and once I played it a few times it seemed ok. But usually, if I can find bugs in a game then it's really bad. I found lots of big bugs which ruined the game for me.

When I got my 360 I asked for Saints Row. But they didn't have any in stock so I went with Dead Rising. I played the demo and I'm glad I didn't buy it. It's a complete rip off of GTA, even most of the controls and driving styles are the same. Instead of funny wit, as in the GTA series, it uses gratuitous swearing. In GTA3 pedestrians said things like "Ma mother's ma sister." In Saint's Row they just say "Fuck this shit." It's too much of the wigger kind of gangsta, and not the cool Mafia kind of gangster. It's a poor attempt at being a game that's better which put me right off.

How is the new PSU online Beta, Tyn?

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I've been playing some Philosophy Star Universe. You play as Socrates and the goal is to teach Glaucon and Adeimantius what is truly virtuous and just.

No wait...

Today I played more of the mediocre Sprintcar game and Wolverine's Revenge for the PS2.  I also played Rayman and Zool 2 on the Jaguar.

How is the new PSU online Beta, Tyn?

Beta has some problems with lag and connecting due to volume but it is a lot of un to play. It is so much more indepth then PSO. It is going to take a long time to figure ouot every thing.

Now playing Tiger Woods on DS but I suck at putting so I think I'm going to start a new DS game.
