I’ve yet to find a good way to get screenshots off my Xbox. Jess and I have been obsessively playing 2-player co-op Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, a hack and slash RPG. The story is really mundane, but the action is a lot of fun and the graphic engine is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The 3D acceleration is amazingly smooth and solid.

When you equip new armor or weapons, you can see your character close up and their appearance changes to match your new items. One silly thing is that when you switch armor, it flashes a quick shot of your character in their underwear. If you sell your old armor and buy new armor, your character runs around in it’s underwear until you equip the new armor. This is a great feature when playing the elf woman with the double D’s, but not so great when playing the Dwarf in the saggy yellow briefs. There are a lot of big boobies in this one. They appear even bigger thanks to the great graphics engine that allows them to jiggle and sway hypnotically; back and forth, back and forth…

Lots of back pain in Baldur’s Gate…
