So I just played through Bioshock for the first time, and I was really impressed! It gave me a reason to start up my 360 again (it had been a while) and I was not disappointed. It was gorgeous, engaging, and hardly lagged ever. I just gotta say though, why the dead cats? I counted 6 of them throughout the game. I am a cat lady so of course this saddened me greatly. It was strange that there were only cats, no other dead animals throughout the game, unless fish count. Oh well, I'm hoping Bioshock 2 is equal-opportunity in its housepet-killing. LOL.

I've also been playing some games I picked up in the PS2 bargain bin lately, none of which have really held my attention. The Mark of Kri is boring and the targeting system is just horrible. I only played the first 2 missions and I have no real desire to pick it up again. Anyone think it gets better? I also picked up Extermination, which is pretty awful and hard! Stretch Panic is almost unplayable in its obtuse controls. It is funny to show people, though. Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is pretty good, I'm gonna have to force myself to pick it up again.

Really after beating Grandia III (story was HORRIBLE btw but battle system is great) and Bioshock, I have gone right back into playing FFX again. So these other games will just have to wait!
