It's been a busy few weeks. I jokingly refer to myself as an "interspatial species", and by that I mean that life's little guilty pleasures, like videogames and good fiction books or movies need to be lived in the margins of our otherresponsibilities, as parents, breadwinners, husbands, sons and friends. I'm not complaining, just venting...

Im about to get back to Valkyria Chronicles, I haven't played it in a while, and I intend to finish it before moving on to one of the games on my to-do list. I have cheated a bit, getting into and playing a little Halo Wars with my son. We recently bought a second copy of the game so that we can play against each other over Xbox Live... which is a lot of fun.

On the DS front, I keep having new gamesdeliveredto me for review that are just going straight into the backlog. CHinatown Wars, the DS GTA game that I was playing has been moved aside with the arrival of Super Robot Taisan OG: Endless Frontiers (at least, that's what I think that it's called). It's a good if somewhat erratic (and erotic) RPG that I wanted to test out primarily because KOS-MOS is in teh game... and I've missed her since finishing Xenosaga 3 a few years back. It's good to see that the old girl still looks good as ever.
