Size Matters

I'm replaying Size Matters and it's alot better game that I remembered from the first playthrough. I don't know if it's because I'm used to the PSP control scheme now or because I'm treading through familiar territory or what, but it's been really fun going through the game again. I'm so into it that I've updated my spreadsheet that tracks my completion percentage. I went crazy with it, reset it to zero and now I'm using that as the basis for my completion.

I finished Secret Agent Clank and was in a Ratchet-y mood and decided to go back to this game now that I'm really familiar with the PSP controls. Once I complete this I think I'm going to hit up Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.

Poorly designed save systems

I recently fired up Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles on the DS with the thought that I was going to try and the game. All I need to do is run through the game on hard. You have to complete the game once in order to do so, which I've already done. So I clicked the New Game option was given the standard warning about loosing my existing progress. I clicked yes, and was presented with a difficulty selection screen. Hang on, the Hard option was greyed out!

Grrrr! now I've got to play through the game again on Medium just to the game.

I need to finish Persona...

I bought Persona for the PSP when it first released. I played it as soon as I got it. I stopped. Not because I didn't like it. It was actually a really fun game. A nice throwback RPG on the handheld. I think I was pretty far too, I had come across some little girl and was yapping at her. I think it was a pretty pivotal discussion as well as it determined whether I got the good ending or the crappy one.

There's no good reason for me not playing this. It happens to me all the time. Persona, Lego: Batman, Age of Empires II, Demon's Souls, Mass Effect 2, Killzone 1 & 2, pretty much all of the Elder Scrolls games, Kameo, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Devil May Cry, Tomb Raider, The Settlers III. The list goes on and on.

Games I start, but then never finish, and yet, every one of them I would count as a good game.

Maybe I have gaming ADD.

Why 3D may really be a gaming revolution

Just posted this up on my other site. It's short, but contains my current thoughts of this whole 3D thing going on.
