Went out to find Persona 4 yesterday and it looks like every no store is keeping anything in stock for inventory purposes.  So P4 is nowhere to be found.  They probably didn't keep many copies of the game from the start as it was.  But they had a used copy of Ikaruga at the evil store.  (you know which one)

Except I'm having troubles playing it in my Wii.  Well *was* having troubles.  I upgraded my WiiKey firmware and configured the Wii to read DVD's at 3x speed instead of 6x, which I think helped with the reading errors.  Some of my other games (also legit) were having some trouble reading as well.  But now it seems fine.  Ikaruga is pretty sweet.  Wish I had a Wavebird controller or a second controller though.  Probably not worth it for just the three gamecube games that I have.  But might be nice for some Virtual Console games.

So I ended up having to order off of amazon, and it's already shipped.  Until then I'll try to take down F.E.A.R.2, which is now the game that I'm closest to beating.  BTW, I finished off Red Alert 3.  And I thoroughly disliked the Japanese campaign.  The other two were great, though.

Resident Evil 5 continues to be a great game.  Now that I've got an decent weapon, it's getting easier to conserve ammo.  I've really tricked out the pistol to have more power.  But I've neglected Sheva's weapon!  You can upgrade her's as well.  So I should start helping her.  I've spent quite a bit on my own.. mostly on power and crit upgrades, which matter the most for my playing style.  I'm methodical and usually don't have a problem with reload times or capacity, especially with the MP5.  I should probably pick up the shotgun too.  But I've been pretty good even with just the pistol.  That power really helps for the bosses.  The boss at the end of 2-1 is pretty cool.
