So I come back from vacation this week and work is suddenly busy for once, who knew? It's kind of a welcome change in a sense though, because it makes the night go by a lot quicker~
Anyway I was back visiting family and stuff on the beach, it was fun. I bought a couple of games - Tetris DS and Metroid Prime: Hunters to play while away, since I wasn't going to lug consoles all the way there and back. Both games are fun, Tetris in particular caught my attention. There's enough new content to warrant a purchase while still having the classic mode for old time's sake. Plus, it just feels wrong to own a portable system without Tetris for it, you know?
I played a bit of the Metroid game, it's an interesting control scheme using the touch-screen to look around, but once you adapt to that it's exactly like playing Metroid Prime.. which reminds me, I still need to beat 2 before the Wii version comes out.. :o. Most of my Metroid playing consisted of helping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
krile with Metroid Fusion's bosses xD;
I also stole various games from my brothers that they weren't interested in any longer, among which was Final Fantasy X-2. I always told myself I'd never actually contribute money to Square in order to play this game, because for me the whole point of playing would be to spend the entire time making fun of the game and lamenting on the beginning of the "milk successful games dry" era the company has been in for a while now. Plus, they ruined Rikku's look. Bastards.
The New Super Mario Brothers was waiting for me when I came home too, which was a welcome sight. The game is some kind of wonderful incestual mix of Mario 1, Mario 3, Mario World, and Yoshi's Island. Pure, unobstructed platforming gameplay. It makes well enough use of the touch screen/dual screens but not to the point of getting in the way of a classic Mario game, just as it should. I haven't messed with the multiplayer options or the minigames but they seem like fun additions to an already solid game.
Isn't it weird how when you've been away from the internet for a while you wonder how it ever survived without you checking up on it? Or maybe that's just me. It's weird to actually be EXCITED to go online and check up on all your usual sites instead of it being part of your daily routine. But that's also very refreshing, too ;D
