Martial arts are really starting to become a staple in my life. I have to admit I know it sounds weird but the mental focus I've started to develop from the arts has started to weive it's way into my gaming. :P

Crazy hey.

Anyway besides that It's life as usual for me. Still working as a coffee making barista for a living and still loving it. Finally picked up a copy of Dark Cloud 2 along with resident evil 4 and Mortal Kombat: Decption (Deception was $10!! talk about a deal).

So I guess I'll be happy gaming for a while. here. Resident evil 4 is an excellent game btw and I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Took a bit to get into but the actions solid and well done.

Mortal Kombat is well....Gore and death fighting. what else do you expect from MK. :P It's not as deep as the 2d fighters I've been playing but the fun is still there.

Looks like my skills on the 2d versions with Liu Kang have shown their wear and tear in the 3d versions as his flying kicks and fireballs do next to nothing in 3d when they can simply be sidestepped and easily countered. I've become more of a Sub zero user now although I have also learned that Sindel is a terrific fighter in 3d.

And Dark cloud is just more of a personal thing then anything else. It's an excellent game but certainly not the 9.0 that gamespot would have you beleive I can't beleive I'm saying this but the game is just accually too straitforward for being so large. It's like trying to take oblivion and forcing it all to go down one narrow path. It just doesn't work well and it looses the charm of freedom of action. It's good but it's just missing that last bit of free choice that would make it great.

Anyway enough said. It's a good week.

ps. Thank you gametap for letting Canada have a crack at you. :P Your two week free trail has been totally not worth it but at least I got to play Sam and Max. :P
