I keep a list of25 games, which I call my "Top Priority" list, on my PC. Right now, there are17 GBA games on it, and 8 Gamecube games. It showshow far my GCN collection has come. Also, since I'm focusing on the GBA again, I might try my hand at remaking my GBA review yet again. Since I can record using my Game Boy Player and my laptop (which hasa capture card), it's definitly worth looking at. It might even be quicker to make than my Gamecube review...

I'm even more seriously looking at selling my XBox 360. I'm going to have to find a new job soon, andwith somany games that I want for my collection... Some of them are pretty rare, too. I know Digimon Battle Spirit 1 and 2 is getting harder to find, and Super Mario Advance 4 is dang near impossible to gat locally. That's not even mentioning all of the other games that I don't even see locally, like Digimon Racing and Jazz Jackrabbit. I also want to get some of the GBA and GCN Player's Guides that I'm missing.

Thankfully, my buddy Discordman gave me a rather rare game (out of the blue, no less), Phantasy Star Collection on the GBA. I absolutely love the Phantasy Star series, and this game boosted that love. It's difficult when you don't have absolute control over your characters, but definitly fun to watch when you start the auto-battle system. Sometimes, I actually perfer it over absolute control.

*Sigh* Gotta love the GBA.

I'm actually starting to get in the flow with my GameCube videoreview. It's starting to come together very nicely. As a result, though, I've noticed all of the games that I'm missing. Games like Pikmin 2, Nintendo Puzzle Collection (JP), Ikaruga, Odama, Kirby's Air Ride (I need to get it again), ZooCube, Cubivore... the list just keeps going. It'sstill surprising to see just how many awesome games the Gamecube has.

Of course, I'm missing a LOT of games on it's sister platform, the Game Boy Advance. Super Mario Advance 2 and 4, Sonic Advance 1 and 2, Golden Sun and GS: The Lost Age, Advance Wars 1 and 2, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Fire Emblem and FE: The Sacred Stones, Digimon Battle Spirit 1 and 2... Wow, there's a lot to choose from here, too. Need to get to work on my GBA collection again.

I'm tempted to sell off my XBox 360 and games. I have litterally not touched the console since it died on me a while back. It just sits there... idle. I don't even like most of the games that have come out for it. The only game I would keep would be Phantasy Star Universe, though I COULD just get it for the PC or PS2. Or I could get a PSP and buy Phantasy Star Portable. So many options...

Bah, I need to get back to work on my review. This is going to be fun.

Yeah, I've been ignoring this place a little, but I'm slowly coming back again.

First of all, I take back all the bad things I said about Meta Gear Solid, because I nowhave "MGS: The Twin Snakes". and it rocks! I absolutely love it. It's much easier to control than the PS1 version, and much cleaner-looking. I really love the gameplay, too. It's much harder than I thought it would be, too. That's a good thing, though.

Next up, I'vere-beaten Pokémon LeafGreen, and re-started Pokémon Sapphire. I'm already on my way to the Weather Institute. However, I still have no drive to finish Pokémon Platinum. It's sad, really.That gamehad so much potential. I just hope HeartGold and SoulSilver don't take the same route.

Recently, I've gotten two other games: "Strider" and "Phantasy Star II" for the Genesis! I'm a huge Phantasy Star fan, and I'm glad that I've gotten another piece of the series. As for Strider... I've never played it, but thanks to a review by HappyConsoleGamer on YouTube, I'm definitly interested in it. I just need to hook up my Genesis, and I'll be set.

One other game I've been playing is Drill Dozer. It's such an awesome platformer, and I'm really loving it so far. In fact, it might even be the best platformer released late in theGBA's life. I love the art, and the gameplay is very addictive. Definitly a must-have title for the GBA.

Honestly, though, that's all I've been up to as far as gaming goes. I need to write a newreview sometime. Maybe I'll cover Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes when I finish it.
