I returned SSX Blur to GameFly. I was disappointed with this installment. The Ubertricks isn't too bad, and takes a while to get used to. However, doing the Slalom is a PIA! I got Gold in ALL of the events within two days, but I can't unlock 2nd Peak. For the life of me, I just can't perform the Slalom well.   The trails are the same as On Tour and SSX3, so in a way, I feel like I ain't missing anything.

     I'm playing Ratchet and Clank on PSP now. I'm a wee bit disappointed with the controls. I can see why people get their thumbs hurt when using the analog stick. I'll play for a while, and see how it goes.

     On top of that, I'm playing Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin for the DS. Dang! I love this game. I remember back when I played Castlevania Circle of the Moon all the way to Dawn of Sorrow back to back. Took me a month to play 4 games. :-) Of course, it was at the time that I pretty much ignored my bf. LOL! I believe for Dawn of Sorrow, I worked my behind off to reach to Lvl 99!!!!!! I beat Alucard easily....like in 5 or 6 wacks. 

     Odd thing is, I never played any Castlevania on any of the consoles. I remember when i was young I would play Castlevania for the GameBoy. I never was able to reach the final boss.

      I highly recommend Castlevania for anyone.
