Well done. She's high maintenence, though. Just 1 wife? Or are you trying for 1 in each town?

Played the demo for Ninety-nine Nights. Good hack-n-slash action.

I'll pick up a few more wives in a few minutes.

Just pwned Jack O' Blades, now I gotta worry bout Summoners or some sh!z.

I just played the demo for Dead Rising...AWESOME! Smooth gameplay, can use almost ANYTHING as a weapon, excellent sound, graphics, etc.

This game is going to be a blast (no pun intended) when the full version comes out.

It wasn't originally on my radar as a game to pick up, now it is.

Played through the Dead Rising demo again. There's so much available to do! 

Played some of the Halo 1 campaign. I've boarded the covenant ship and got through a few checkpoints.

I played Jeopardy for the Sega CD yesterday and almost won!!  Funny thing is, one game took me about an hour...lol  Since you have to type out your answers and all.  It was actually really fun as me and the 2 computer players were all really close in the end but I missed Final Jeopardy and tied for 2nd...  Then I played a little Silpheed and that game is pretty darn fun.

Dr Kawashima nearly every day Mario golf advance tour last night and i too have been playing the Dead Rising demo, But dont think that much of it yeah it looks, sounds and plays well but the weapons are limited use which seams a bit stupid and as its only a demo theres not alot to do. I know the full game will be better just at the moment im a bit disappointed with it.

I wonder if the U.K. version is different than the U.S. version?

When you think about it, though. Objects used as weapons SHOULD be limited use and therefore break after a certain # of hits. I used the cash register to crack some skulls about 8 or 10 times before it was destroyed; to me, that seems like a resonable number. Then I broke into the jewelry store and used them as ranged weapons (not so good). Then I found some cooking oil in a diner; although I didn't use it, I'm guessing it can be used as an explosive.

Not a lot to do? I don't agree with that. I've played through the demo 3x now and it's been a different experience each time. Granted, the demo stops after a certain amount of time and then you get a cutscene, but being a demo, I'm okay with that.

We'll see how the full game fares.

There went the life again.

Just plugged in Phantom Dust on Xbox...looks like I won't be getting quality sleep for awhile...seems like a very strange and quirky game.  Not sure what to make of it yet.

I just beat X-Files for the PS1.  Now I'm starting MGS2 for the PS2 and Over the Hedge for the DS.

It's an interesting game. There are a ridiculous number of skills to unlock. It's somewhat card-based from that point of view.

Almost lvl 20 in Shadowbane with my Minotaur barbarian tank.

I just got my skills "book" or whatever you want to call it in the game...I need a cheat-sheet not only to figure out which ones I have, but how to execute the skill move!  I don't think I've seen a game this complex in awhile.
