I know I know. Why aren't you playing Zelda.

Cause I bought Rayman Raving Rabids and Elebits.

Rayman is simply a fantastic way to pass the time alone or with friends. Fantastic party game. Several friends came by last night and could not keep their hands off of it.

Elebits is not completely absorbing. It is, though, unlike anything else I've played in recent years. The hide and seek aspects are quite fun. The level design is pretty good also. Numerous hidden objects, secrets, and doors keep the flow going pretty well. The story is not really there, and I hate that. However, the gameplay makes up for it.

Will I ever finish Downhill Jam? I don't know. I have three levels left to complete, and man oh man are they difficult. One of the final slalom levels has 64 gates and only gives you 4 seconds on the clock right off. If you miss the first 4 gates you are screwed.
