Many Jobs = minimal time to get at my gaming like I should; but, it doesn't stop. With a new addition to my family on the way, I'd better stock up for the many nights at home with the little one. In the process, I've been makin' new purchases, & have finally had a chance to play a couple of others that have been still shrink-wrapped in my collection. Pickin' up from where I left off . . . .

Burnout Paradise

This was a long-awaited purchase for me. It was well worth the buy! Albeit somewhat repetitive in the gameplay at times, the game can be addictive. I'm still stackin' my cars up, even though my license class is real suspect! LOL

Grand Theft Auto IV

Fam, what more can be said outside of "I got it!!" LOL I'm still fumblin' with that small iconic box that they call a cell phone on the game. 1nce I have that mastered, I'll be straight. It's 100% GTA. If you weren't into the franchise prior to this, you won't get into this 1 either. But, if you're a fan of the series, like me, then this is like a salivatin' kid that finally got that promised piece of candy.

Half Life 2: The Orange Box

I've been a fan of this game, & have been waitin' on this since the 1st Half Life dropped on the PS2. Although, I've only completed the 1st chapter (Half Life 2), the gameplay easily fell back into place. I'll have to play the remainin' 2 'episodes' in order to feel the story is more well-rounded. Right now, it feels too wide open for me. Good puzzles, & 1 helluva degree of difficulty.

Time Shift

This was 1 of the most disappointing "build up" games in next-gen!! The best part of the game, is the CG movie cutscenes. The game itself was extremely wack. I don't believe that I'll even finish it, & could wind up on the trade-in block for me. This was a waste.

I still have 2 games left unplayed:

*Call Of Duty 4 (NO!!!! I DID NOT PLAY IT YET!!! - LOL & I don't have that kind of time to invest in the online play, either!!)

*Assassin's Creed (What can I say? I'll get to it!)

Heavily sought after games in the waiting:

*Soul Calibur 4 *Blitz The League *most of the games in my wish/tracked list (even though I'm gettin' kinda "iffy" on Haze after that Time Shift fake out)

Check back. The updates will roll in.
