I have taken a few days off from Playing Empire. Lat I played things had continued to decline, though i was finally out of the red budget-wise. Yet more countries have declared war on me, including allies. Not sure how this game will go but it doesn't look good.

I feel like that is type of game I can juggle with another because its open strategy game without really a story

I did what i said and went back to finish Bionic Commando Rearmed. I got to say the ending is tad bit more graphic than the origial version but it lacks Hitler or Master D. Anyways I played the hell out of the last level till I beat it. The end. You still blow the "Leaders" head up but I miss that plot point that they were suppossed to be trying to resurrect Hitler.

I feel it time to work on beaing Pikmin 2 now which I started months ago and haven't played inawhile. Kind of been my goal to finish what i started for awhile now.

Beyond that I am not sure what i will play next because i have quite a backlog. Kingdom Hearts I suppose, which started a awhile ago too but stopped playing,

I have have playing a few old games on emulators a little more lately. I bought USB adapter for my NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1/PS2, and N64 contollers. They seem to work well. Some those controller just feel wierd though in general. Just pick up a NES controller if you have one, especillay if you have not touched one in years. The thing is tiny and just does not feel comfortable compared to an 360 or PS3 controller. LOL.
