It's really hard to go back to those corridor shooters now. I'm so used to seeing incredibly detailed environments, that I get lost in games like Wolfenstein and Marathon whose environments looks so much the same room to room.

I remember I played ever darn version of Duke Nukem 3D: PC, PSX, N64 and even Saturn more recently. I played a lot of deathmatch with bots on N64 with my friend Mark. We would race to get the exploding shell shotgun and a jetpack and become nigh invincible, blowing up bots and each other. Then it was the PSX version where we'd play deathmatch in the campaign levels, and I'd set laser trip mines everywhere and watch my friend run into them. Ha!

For some reason, games stand out. Plus ever since I realized the internet had databases that contained every video game ever made like allgame.com, I've been going through them to make lists and to remember what I've played. It's sort of the first topic I thought about writing on 1UP. In this rewrite, I'm getting a little queazy doing so much navel gazing. I'm thinking I should start doing real reviews or something.

I got stuck in Beyond Good & Evil but loved it. I need to go figure it out and finish it. Love games with photography elements, and it has a good one. 

FFXII has the most amazing cut scenes. Really jaw dropping. But I couldn't get the battle system right off. Another one I need to go back to and figure out.

So... I would say Beyond Good & Evil because it has photography and has a really appealing art style.

It's a very slow game. Tricky too.

Unwound Future was my first Layton game. I made it all the way through too. Then I collected all the others and can't wait for Azran Legacy in a few weeks.

I loved the look of Oblivion and Monsters U was excellent.

Going on my wishlist. Thanks.

I get my blues filtered through British muscians like Cream and The Blues Project but a few originals make it into my regular listening like Albert King and BB King. I used to have this vinly of Albert King's Live Wire/Blues Power. The cover has stuck in my memory for its composition.

An even dozen blogs left if you're doing weekends like I am. Otherwise 10 more.

I was worried about X1 but on Major Nelson's podcast they read sales figures and it seems their selling more units than ever before, comparitively to the X360 that is. So they're not hurting. MS will do fine and when I get around to it, I'll have one a year or two from now (as well as a PS4 which I might have first, we'll see). Sony has to be happy with the PS4 though. I wonder how numbers compare with the PS3 release? I bet PS4 sold way more.
