there are just too many great new games coming out for the DS and PSP these last two weeks. For example:

-Just finished Jeanne d'Arc, and found it to be one of the most enjoyable tactics RPG's I've *ever* played. It's that good.

-In between, been trying to play through Settlers, but finding it to be a little on the slow and tedious side....but a far better management style game than, say, Sim City. I'll probably pick it up every now and then to get through a chapter, but can't stay awake long enough to play it in extended spurts.

-about to start Luminous Arc, which looks an awful lot like Jeanne d'Arc, so it should be fun as well (7.5 according to the stingy reviewers here at GS)

-had to put down D&D tactics, due to the tedium of it all, but I know that it will keep me coming back for weeks on end until it's done. Just need to level-grind to finish the dang thing.

-wanted to pick up Monster Hunter 2, but Futureshop ran out, and Gamespot had a huge enough line of smarmy teens arguing over the 50-cents they were being offered for NHL 2003, so I will try again tomorrow.

In short, there are just so many fun new ones out or coming out soon, that I need more time! Having a 1-and-a-half year old who is very interested in all things Daddy these days means I try to spend most of his awake time showing him the ropes of manhood (how to *really* play in a mud puddle).These sorts of complaints I love.
