I was out in Ashburnham this weekend and it was really relaxing. I realized that my list of games that I have to play through is getting longer and longer. That first year of living in london with nothing but my old laptop really made it hard to play anything but snes emulators and my gba sp. Now I've got my PSP, PC, GBA SP and I'll be getting a Nintendo DS shortly too. That's a pretty full platform list.

Right now I'm playing through The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap on my GBA SP. It's got the graphic style of four swords but plays like a classic zelda. Nintendo really makes solid games I'm really impressed, I had thought that my SP was never going to be used again but I barely notice that it doesn't have a super high res screen like the PSP.

On the PSP I'm playing Infected and it's pretty fun but there's something about a lock on shooter that doesn't feel like you have any skill other than circle strafing, I mean wow thats mad skillz, or not. I'm playing StarWars Battlefront II too but the interface is pretty crap except for the space fighting, I think It'll play a lot better on the PC version so I'm going to give that I try.

On the PC I just finished Quake 4 it was pretty cool, I thought the bosses sucked though, nothing memorable just a shoot til its dead puzzle. It's not like the typical boss system where you have to shoot one place and counter the attacks with a certain technique and then it changes and you have to coupe with the new attack styles. The game had a few memorable scenes like in the processing centre cut scene. Overall it's a quick game and a blast to play even if the bosses sucked. I actually found some of the mini bosses harder than the main bosses.

Now on the PC I'm playing through Doom 3 and then I'll play through the expansion. I had played through a bit ages ago on my old system but I couldn't even handle it on the lowest detail settings so It's been a god run. It's not as scary as people say though. Black and White 2 has been really cool. I'm on the second island with the japanese and it's getting really tough. The game is a lot like the original but includes armies and more buildings too. I had planned on playing through as evil after playing through as good but I still have to finish the good campaign first. I get in the odd game of BattleField 2 at work and we just picked up the expansion Special Forces. It adds tear gas, grappling hooks, zip lines,night vision and more vehicles and night maps too. It's a lot more infantry focussed this time and you can really hall in a large group of troops with a zip line down to a flag point from a neighbouring building.

After I get through these I'll carry on with AOE3,CIV4,King Kong,FEAR,Deus Ex 2,Gun,GTA San Andreas and others.
