The main event this week was still Okami, but I did play a few other titles during the week--most notably, the old-school Genesis platformer Rocket Knight Adventures. I think I'll play it a couple more times before I put it back; it's better than I remembered.

Dana and I went to Springfield to go shopping today (we have a couple of vacation days together this week) and I ended up at GameStop. After hearing the extremely reasonable price of $39.99, I am finally a proud owner of a GameCube console. I got Metroid Prime to go with it; it got great reviews back when it was released, and I figured if I was going to give a first-person shooter a chance, maybe Samus Aran would be enough to keep me interested long enough to get used to the alien (to me) perspective. I seriously need to find me a controller extension for this thing, though. Should've looked for that while I was at the store.

Other than that, the coming week looks to be more of the same: Mostly Okami, probably mixed with Metroid now. I expect some of the current Now Playing to drop off the list this week--especially DOAX, which I'm having trouble getting into this time around, even though it used to be a fun diversion for me; maybe I finally realized that there really wasn't much 'game' to it. Soul Calibur III's "short session" spot on the list is probably safe this week, and I still want to give Rocket Knight a better go before I give it a rating.

And that's it for today! I'll update again next Monday.
