So named because that’s about all the time I’ve had to play them recently…
Champions of Norrath (PS2): It bears little resemblance to the original EverQuest, and could be any old generic fantasy environment with the names swapped, but it’s still a fun hack-and-slash Diablo-II-esque game. Sometimes you just want to run around and Beat Stuff Up, and this fills that need perfectly.
God Of War (PS2): Wow, a fighting game I might actually not suck at. Great graphics (and not just for the prurient reasons), smooth controls, and plenty of action and puzzles.
The Simpsons: Hit And Run (PC): The Simpsons meet Grand Theft Auto. Much like the GTA games it’s fun to just randomly explore and find hidden stuff. Missions are challenging, but not impossible, and usually quick enough that you can retry it a few times without getting too frustrated. Plus, it’s fun to drive around like a maniac in the various vehicles, knocking lampposts and mailboxes over and sending people diving for cover…
Gran Turismo 4 (PS2): This game is a continual reminder of how awful I am at driving. But, it’s at least still fun to collect all of the exotic cars, take some action shots, and fiddle with the B-spec mode on the longer and more difficult races. I just wish I had the time or patience to dedicate to actually putting in some real practice.
Whoa… You and I actually both own a game we can play online for once? ;-)
Lemme know if you’re ever so inclined. I know I can’t stop playing it, and the hardest difficulty level strikes me as being intended for more than a single player…
I’m guessing you’re referring to CoN… :-) Unfortunately I’m only a whopping level 6 so far.
Yep, that’d be the one. Well, the lowest character I have I believe is lv. 9 (I actually haven’t played in a few days), but starting a new one wouldn’t be too big a deal. I still have two classes I haven’t tried yet…
