I strongly suggest everybody who is a fan of CRPGs check out Earthbound. It's great.

Even if you're not, the brilliant translation might win you over.

I love Earthbound! Stink at it though. Stink at most things actually. Except Myst, I was good at Myst. Too bad the series ended.

Yeah, I like Myst too. I just started it (finished the first, but Riven is 100 times harder.)

Anyway, I'm waiting for...

Advance Wars 4 (you know it's coming soon enough)

Just one word of warning about the Myst series. Skip Uru, it stinks. And I think Riven is the second hardest of them all.

Hmm, what's the hardest?

Revelation had some puzzles that were just hard to figure out. Like the final puzzle, that took me about two days to figure out what to do and how to do it. The only bad thing about Revelation is the musical number they have in the middle of it.

I heard about Omikron 2 the other night, and I am looking forward to that one. I guess the thing that I liked about the first Omikron is that it felt like a real fully populated place. You'd think I'd be into MMORPGs that actually have a huge bunch of actual human beings moving around in them, but it isn't the same. Gamers disrupt and cheesify the atmosphere and don't allow a convincing story to unfold. A huge place full of NPCs that fit the mood can be more involving.

I also need to catch up with the Quantic Dream guys and check out Fahrenheit. I read Matt's mini-review and it sounded pretty interesting.
