I can finally say it took me less than a month to beat games.

I don't find myself necessarily wanting to review a game all the time. More or less I'm rambling or soap-boxing about one or a couple of things, than the game as a whole. I remember When Resident Evil 5 came out, and the only thing I could get out of it was a long winded Essay, on Chris Redfield suffering from being one dimensional. (he only really cared about one thing but happened to be in Africa for everything else.) But lately I've been playing the hell out of games that Deserve more than a couple of words from me.
 
Yakuza 3 (Not so much this game, as it is the entire series) is definitely a sleeper hit. I can ignore the fact that things were cut out of the Western release, because there's already more than enough things to do. It probably has some kind of special place for me, being a veteran Shenmue player. But there is so much to this game that is so different, that it makes you think they could just as easily take this engine, and sneak in a new Shenmue game to keep people at bay. I've been giving this game enough attention that it makes me wonder where the hell I was when the first two came stateside.
 
The Second thing I reviewed, was more just for the hell of it, Final Fantasy XIII. It's rather all the things I've talked about the game with other people, so I just decided to review it for shits and giggles. I know a lot of people are reviewing the hell out of this game, But I wanted to voice my little low score opinion. I've since become a cranky old man whenever there's talk about Final Fantasy games, and sure there's a lot of good points and bad points, but I don't think it's worthy of being put on a pedestal.
 
Now, I want to now go play a game that will only be for myself. I figure a treat is in order. I suppose I still have heavy Rain to finish, but I feel as though Afrika is calling out to me. Odd, I do want to get back into Demon's Souls, but Afrika should really get rolling so I can be satisfied with having played that game from beginning to end.
 
You don't know how weird it is to have that game in the back of your mind.
 
Before I finish here's a question I want to ask: Do you feel jaded or overjoyed Whenever something video game related is referenced or shown in a Tv-show or movie. Sometimes when I see it happen, it doesn't feel right to me, but the odd time I get a kick out of a specific character lounging back in a game. Does it feel out of touch or necessary? Or do you really just like it, because you like that game?
