Maybe I can treat this blog as a "this week in games" nerd-out.  Who knows?

I spend the last few hours each night for the last three days or so unwinding to Wipeout Pulse.  Turns out those later difficulties are no joke.  I'm getting gold on most everything, but that's not the same thing as "oh, this is easy."  It's at least making me work out my trigger fingers.  I've finished most of the races except for a few 12 race tournaments, and figure I'm done with the game.  Maybe it'll give me a reason to come back and play with the create-a-grid Racebox.  Besides, 15 hours sounds about right for 8 tracks.  Yeah yeah, that's not many tracks but in this case it's all quality over quantity.  The original SSX had 8 and was one of my favorite games of all time for years.

But I'm shelving it now to move on to Fallout 3.  Bethesda games always sound terrible on my 5.1 headset, but that's no big deal.  I usually don't use them for longer RPGs because I get headphone hair after a while.

It's a nice game from the six hours I've played on it so far.  Game was hard until I found the awesomeness of the sledgehammer.  YES.

I'm in the process of writing a review for Wipeout Pulse.  It's a good game.  Woulda been even better had they released the DLC here in the states, though :(
