Life is all ups and downs, like your avarage theme park experience. And it seems gaming in general have that same pattern. I haven't touched my PSP in probably over a year's time and suddenly I'm playing it daily after having downloadedDef Jam Fight for NY: The Takeover from the playstation store. The game is simple, but lends itself perfect for a quick play here and there. No real investment, but you get some unlocks as you progress and which makes you come back on your next break. And having people at work look over your shoulder as you kick some dude's face in.. well, that has a value just of it's own. And post E3, the PSP's future is looking brighter than ever. Though I am not sure whether I'll spend money on a PSP Go, or simply buy the equivalent storage capacity on memory sticks and keep my old PSP, because I am really enjoying the downloading and having the games on the machine rather than using UMDs. But then, I've always liked new and shiny things, so it wouldn't surprise me if I eventually get the PSP Go.

Staying on Sony, I'm getting more and more curious about whether or not it's worth my money to get me a PS3. There are some games out, likeKillzone 2 and inFamous that is looking good. And there are upcoming titles that I am eager to see if they're good. Such as MAG, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Heavy Rain: Origami Killer. And naturally, being a big Rockstar fan, Agent is something I am all over. But at the same time, I dont know if I have the time or if it is worth the funds to get into another system. My 55+ Xbox 360 collection isn't all finished, and I am barely finding time to finish back catalog games such asSuikoden V and more recently I've been curious about Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4. Ah, the headache of being a grunt with limited spare time.

As far as Xbox 360 goes, the biggest titles that I am eager to play are Assasin's Creed 2, Mass Effect 2 and Modern Warfare 2. They are games I had a ton of fun with. Mass Effect being one of the best games I've played in a long time. I would probably rank my investment in the game to be similar to playing one of the Metal Gear Solid titles, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare wasn't too bad either in the story department.. or rather, it's overall presentation of the story. While Assasin's Creed was a game that did a lot of things right, but lacked in variety. I am also curious to see if Batman: Arkham Asylum turns out well. A game I have paid no attention to until this E3 was probably APB, something of a surprise to me when I began reading about it. It does sound like a game down my alley, especially the customization options (something I am a real sucker for).

With lack of time, I am sure I am missing a ton of things right now. But I'll get back soon with something more.
