Here’s some gaming news. I finished Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee.

It’s great game for being over four years old now. Not to mention that a side-scrolling game like this is just what you need when you have (a) no time to play games for more than 30 minutes at a stretch (b) gotten tired of first-person shooters (c) a hangover. The graphics, sound and music are top-notch and it’s games like this that make me wonder where all the creativity in game development has gone. Enough on that…

I also finished No One Lives Forever. It’s a spy adventure set in the 70’s (very much like Austin Powers). Funnier than your average FPS and the array of weapons and gadgets is pretty extensive. Play it if for no other reason than to run a man down with a snowmobile.

“Hey guys. Check out my butt.”

On top of all this, I picked up Tron 2.0 and Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare at EB for $5 each. It doesn’t stop there. I also got Unreal Tournament 2004 and Battlefield: Vietnam. These have all been put on the shelf to be finished by 2008.
