I've been playing Okami. A lot. I'm just under 20 hours now, and I don't see myself letting up anytime soon. I'm absolutely in love with this game. It definitely has the potential to make my personal "Game of the Year." Of course it's too early to say for sure yet, cause there sure are some highly anticipated titles coming out in the next few months, and I haven't completed the game yet. It's going to be tough to knock it off the top though, that's for sure.

I just took out this bad boy here, Crimson Helm. I thought he was awesome; he looked pretty rad and these Celestial Brush techniques are getting cooler and cooler. The fight was a rather short one though as I had to share it with another character. Still, the game is progressing nicely and hasn't failed to impress me yet.

Gamers United is still going strong as well. I feel like I'll get mugged if I post an update without mentioning it. :wink: We now have 3 episodes under our belt, or in the bag, or the can, or whatever it's called. It's still tons of fun, and I'm looking forward to doing more. Feedback is still appreciated, so I hope you guys can get a chance to listen.

I picked up a few games this weekend, but I haven't really had a chance to dive into any of them because of the White Wolf and the little "bug." God Hand was one of them, and after playing the first level I could tell I was going to like it. The game plays great, it's just plain fun. The music really stood out to me as well and I know this one is going to have a cult following.

I have to let you all know that I have a goal to regain my Street Fighter "skills." I was decent at this game at one time in my life and I wish to be again. A friend came in town on Saturday and we played for about 4 hours straight. Played two first to 10 matches and I don't mind telling you I won both.

Now with that being said, I am in no way good at this game. It just so happens I was better than my friend this weekend. In all actuality he's probably better than me, as are several others I know. Neither of us have played in a while though, so I guess you could say those were warmup matches.

I can't really say what has caused this sudden desire to hone the 2D fighting chops. Maybe it's the fact that I've been without any retro bragging rights for so long. Fighters have always caught me as an exceptional way to compete against another person, and I just haven't done that in forever. Mabe I feel I'm overdue. I know it's probably going to be a difficult road, and I'm going to get my rear handed to me countless times. But who cares, it's time to fight - and to that I say, bring it on.
