Donkey Kong Country (SNES) is a great game and I will fight you with my fists if you disagree.

A Great Time for Gaming

When I rolled out of bed this morning, I noted that it was decidedly cold. Or perhaps a better description would be ridiculously cold. In fact, the temp was hovering at -12F/-24C when I walked to school in my full winter garb, face wrapped up like a ninja. Not the coldest day I've ever seen, but it's certainly up there. Some may complain, but it may be a blessing in disguise. I can think of no better time to sit down and play some great games. Speaking of which...

I started Beyond Good & Evil (PS2) last night. My first impression: That game is good. Really good. I ended playing until 12:30a and continuing my streak of getting no sleep. I'll write up a full blog detailing how I feel about the game later, but I'm really digging it so far. I have a couple qualms, but they are minor and almost forgettable.

Other than that, I'm working my way towards the end of the Terran campaign in Brood War (PC) and making steady progress in Chrono Trigger (DS). I'm gearing up to fight Magus right now and the trip has been great so far. I always forget all of the little things that make that game special. The characters are just so loveable and there is a unique sense of wonder to the whole game. The plot twists, beautiful graphics, and spectacular music are just pure icing. Never have I felt such a clear sense of redemption in a video game than when Frog picks up the Masamune and his epic theme starts playing. One can't help but smile. Dang, now I want to play right now...
