Wow, this summer is turning out to be about catching up. I scored a compliation of the 3 good Fallout games (1,2 and Tactics) for less than $20, and picked up Dangerous Waters in the Naval Strategy Pack on Steam during their big sale. $15.00 for 4 games I've been eyeing since my old Mac IIsi crapped out and I couldn't play Harpoon anymore. I'm still warming up to Dangerous Waters, but in about 20-30 hours I should be over the learning curve (yay old-school 570 page manuals!!!). My cup runneth over.

I'm also still slogging through Forza bit-by-bit. I decided I wanted to beat career mode before I went online, but I'm rethinking that. I'm still n level 36 and find myself having to look at career mode as almost a chore. Maybe I need a break for a few days.

I jumped back into Gears for old times' sake, but my mind is still made up-I'll get back into it when the new maps are free. Until then, i can live with Halo 2 for my online FPS fix. Of course, that willo leave me about 3 weeks until Halo 3 comes out, but I can't think of any better way to spend my free time.

For the more immediate future, I'm looking forward to Wing Commander on XBL tomorrow. I'll finally use the extra points I had after buying Shivering Isles. It should be an amusing diversion from Fallout and Forza!
