In the past few weeks, I have been addicted to only one thing. That thing, is Dragon Quest VIII, which rivals Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Resident Evil 4 as the best game of last year. It's a great game, but sometimes, you just gotta take a break. I've killed enough slimes to earn one. :D

So, in the mean time, I've decided to brush up on my fighting game skills. I've been playing Capcom Fighting Evolution for a few days now. It's a half-decent game, despite its negative critisism. You just have to get into it. I've been playing as Zangief, for the most part. I've never been into grapplers, so I had some trouble adjusting to his style of play, but now I like him. His Spinning Piledriver owns just about everyone, if you can get it to connect. He's also got the best super in the game besides Ryu. His Final Atomic Buster does a ton of damage (try over 75% of the health gage at level 4 damage) but it has horrible range and it's easy to avoid. Still, it's good. I'm more of a Special Forces guy (Guile and Charlie are my two favorite characters in the world of Street Fighter and fighting games in general) since their charges let them do some pretty cool (if not cheap) tricks. Although they are my favorite overall, my all-time favorite character is the Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo (and CFE/CVS2) M. Bison.

I've also sat down with my PSP (which is ugly now, due to the face-plate being scrated, darn my laziness for not buying a screen protector) which I haven't done in a good, long while. I've been playing good ol' Darkstalkers. Who doesn't love Darkstalkers? Next to Street Fighter III, it's easily my favorite Capcom fighting series, bar none.

I've also been playing my friend's copy of San Andreas, which has been in my possesion for around 3 months now. Just performing missions. And, unlike him, I'm not using cheat codes to beat the game. I only use cheats after I beat a game. And, there is Advance Wars.

That's about it. See ya next mission! :wink:
