So on Saturday I reinstalled an old favorite of mine, 'Evil Genius' … it was a repurchase really – I randomly came across it on Steam for 10 bucks and figured what the hell. As flawed as this game is on a technical level, it's still every bit as enjoyable as I remember. It's one of those games that I truly wish there would have been a sequel to as it would have had an excellent foundation to build and improve on. In the same vein as 'Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines' developer Troika (sp?) This company too, I believe closed its doors not long after this game shipped. It functions with one official patch and a few fan patches that have various tweaks and modifications for purposes of balance. As it stands, sure there's a plot, and a story to follow – but really it's all about building your secret *pinky to chin* underground lair. *eyebrow raise*

Upgrading minions and setting the hallways with ridiculous and increasingly complex traps amidst a huge assortment of various rooms, each with a nefarious purpose brings a sly grin to my face. Good times.

As a side note - Monster Hunter Tri has my attention - I don't have a wii, but after I hear a bit more from others I may just make the jump. Which of course paves the way for other wii titles I may have missed out on and I can finally catch up.

hehe... wii.
