Well its back to school for me (has been for the past week, but I'm late). School means less time on the TV, which in turn means less time on the Playstation 2, so probably no new reviews there.
To fill the large gap normally filled by ironically slim PS2, I tend to play alot more casual games, which are generally portable. Recently I managed to find my GameBoy Advance SP plus all my games, many from my younger days. Just in time too. I preceeded to play my second GameBoy game I got; Pokemon Silver (oh no - not Pokemon).
Pokemon for those who may not know (who is everyone over the age of roughly 20) are collectable creatures (many of which seem to be reallife animals on steriods) that you (the protagonist) catch and train to become the best in the world (with whatever perkes that may bring/entitle). With each new generation of these Pokemon(s), there seem to be roughly 150 more strange and slightly more genetically altered monsters to train and collect.
But this is one of the original games for the GameBoy Colour (or Color) so its actually one of the good ones, before the number of Pokemons exceeded 400ish. (Don't know what the number is now, but I guess it would be getting close to 600...)
In other news, I recently saw (as in on Sunday) Planet of the Apes (the Tim Burton one) and Alfie (the Jude Law one). Planet of the Apes didn't really impress compared to what I have heard about the original, but Alfie did. Looking forward to what other think of the films.
