It’s been a busy week, but I managed to sneak in some video games here and there. I plugged away at Color Cross and now I’ve unlocked all the big pictures! I only have about 3 puzzles left to go for each category, so maybe I’ll go ahead and finish the game. This is way easier than Picross!

I’m also close to finishing Tactical Guild, which is a terrible game by any standard. It is seriously bad. It does have a certain primitive charm to it, though, and it’s so short that it was almost over before I knew it. More on that when I actually finish it.

Third thing I’m playing, The Kayou Generation. It’s a rhythm/music game along the lines of Ouendan or Elite Beat Agents but far less polished. Fun and addictive in its own way, of course. I’ll probably post about that next.

I also started Saga 3 (Final Fantasy Legend 3) at long last! They’ve made a few changes to the battle system and the graphics look slightly better, but everything else looks the same. I only just started and there was so much talking that I saved and turned the game off first chance I got. I’m not sure I like this new trend where every RPG starts with 30 minutes of straight exposition.

Last thing I’ve been fooling around with, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. Yes, it’s an action RPG, yes I do usually avoid those. It looked cute though, and not too hard. I’ve played a few hours, right up to where you’re supposed to kill some monster in the sewer. Then I got too sleepy and had to warp back to town to save and sleep. That was sometime last week, haven’t touched it since.

Of course, playing is one thing and blogging is another, but if you don’t hear from me for a while you’ll know which games to blame.
