Well, it's the day after Christmas, and I am suitably impressed. As most of you out there possibly know, my main present for Christmas was an X-Box console, and MAN I like the thing! :)

Managed to acquire a few games for it prior to Christmas, so I've got a couple of 'em to play now. Checked out Halo and was blown away (literally AND figuratively - still working on the controls a bit... *grin*) Even had a look at Top Spin, a tennis game that came bundled with the console. Now, I'm not a big sport game fan, but I quite enjoyed this one, even if I DID suck at it!

Fable is awesome. Just on an initial wander in the game, and the number of things you can do is staggering. What other game records how many properties you own (including shops) and knows how many people are in love with you, or how many times you've had sex? It's a bit strange like that, but interesting just the same.

Toe Jam and Earl III is cute, but not terribly difficult. Funny more than challenging, but good just the same.

Znuggles, I finally understand whatcha mean about Ninja Gaiden. Fired it up, ran along some walls, threw some Shuriken around, and then got into a couple of fights. And got my butt handed to me on a silver platter. *grin* I quite enjoy the game, but I gotta learn how to FIGHT in it if I wanna get past the first level! I suspect my time through the game will be much the same as yours, my friend. Long, drawn-out and somewhat frustrating - but coming back for more just the same. :)

Well, I better get off and do some stuff around the house. Might even get a chance to play some more on my new toy soon - the graphics are AMAZING - or possibly go back to some games I'm doing on the PC or PS2. My "Now Playing" list is WAY too long, and I need to shorten it a bit. One or two of 'em I'm getting close to finishing (Second Sight and Ratchet and Clank) so I should prolly focus on 'em a bit.

More next time, people! :)
