Mario Golf: Advance Tour - GBA

Way Fun - get this game

Hi, I'd just about run out of interest in Toadstool Tour and picked this game up actually to tide my over on a trip to California...I might finish it before then it is so fun! Advance Golf stands on its own well, but is even better if you can hook it to a Gamecumbe with a near complete Toadstool Tour. The players level up rather quickly and the courses are fun without being excessively frustrating (at least so far...)

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II - PS2

Good Job (so far)

I picked this up to silence my 14 y.o. elf crazed daughter...I really liked the original, but am so far behind that I am not even done with Jak II yet let along Return of the King. We have played for 4.5 hours straight. For people old enough to have children of an age that both parent and child can play this is like playing forever (I think I may have not been as clear on this when talking about Return of the King - anything more than an uninterrupted hour feels like 4-EVER, in the good sense). Very straightforward button mashin' also intended in the good sense. When I get home from work and want to, "kill, Kill, KILL...." I don't want to be penalized for failure to enter the correct esoteric combination. Graphics seem better, Action might be quirky but it would appear so far to be the same quirks as last time so I've already adjusted. Looks to be more hours of axe swinging, lightning fisted fun!

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - PS2

Improved on Two Towers (which I also really liked)!

I just got this for Christmas (I am a grown up so I knew it was coming) I waited until the squeamish went to bed and have been playing for three straight hours (that's a lot for "old" people like me!) Someone mentioned Gimli. I want to say right up front I am partial to dwarves over elves...I figure if you live darn near forever you oughta be as good as an elf it's not like you don't have time to practice. I had more trouble getting Gimli through anything in Two Towers that involved missiles. I've had a much easier time so far since he is just so devastating to anything that gets within the reach of the blade. Awesome game...just great and well worth retail.
