After being away from this site, I realized how important this site is to me. Since I have not been playing alot of games lately and paying more attention to the the news story on video games, this site has it all. I have decided to participate a more since I am paying the annual fee <why waste money>.

Yesterday I picked up a couple of games; NBA (PSP), Pac Pix (DS), and MGS 2 (XBOX). The NBA I picked up so I can try out the online community for the PSP. I am not much of a sports person but have been itching to give it a try. Last week I also picked up ESPN basketball which I already own, but got a copy for my nephew. That way we can both play and he can teach me a few things. This is one of the reasons I got him a XBOX Live account.

Pac Pix I got because I love Yoshi's Touch & Go. I read somewhere that it was similar, that you do not control the character just where they go. I have to say that I do like this game, I have not gotten to far but it is good. You have you get use to drawing Pac Man, it could get repeptitive but it makes good use of the stylus for the DS. I got up to the first boss, which I have to figure out how to beat. HELP!

MSG 2! People are going to shoot me when I say this but I have never played a Metal Gear Solid game in my life. Why? I cannot answer that. I was told that I am missing out on a good game so I picked it up used. It was only $10, so if I do not like it, I did not really lose anything but 2 happy meals <laughing>.
