Animal Crossing: Wild World - DS
After waiting for what seems like forever for the UK release, and then
a little bit more because of a fudged up pre-order I finally see what
all the fuss was about. Absolutly loving this at the moment, makes a
great chance from my usual type of game. Wi-Fi is great and makes the
game much more interesting.

Call of Duty 2 - X360
Got this on eBay for £26 delivered, bargain. Classically I dont like
WW2 games, such as Day of Defeat and all the others. But after playing
the demo of this, and after the patch was released I thought I would
take the plunge. And im glad I did, excellent single player thus far,
started playing on veteran and its just right IMO (apart from the
bloody sniping part im stuck on at the moment, but I've nearly got it).
Live is brilliant too, the maps are big and detailed with some
interesting environments making sniping games very tense.

GRAW - X360
Been away for a while so really only played this on the weekend it was
released. Gone back to it now, though not much as the previous 2 are
taking up what free time I have. Annoyingly enough I have got past
where I was stuck before but now I have run out of bloody ammo! I know
theres an ammo box up ahead but getting there with only a sidearm is
proving tricky, might have to restart the level and be a bit more
carefull.

WANT

Tetris DS - DS
Despite hearding bad things about it I still want to get it. Mainly for
the Wi-Fi multiplayer, but I have always been a big fan of puzzle /
block games, Tetris in particular. Surely the "retro" Nintendo branding
doesnt distract from the game entirely? Plus some of the new modes
sound like good ideas. I always liked Sticky Tetris on Tetris Worlds,
so im hoping theres something similar.

Metroid Prime: Hunters - DS
Yet more Wi-Fi fun and games. Hoping (as other have said) that its
improved since the demo version, which was good, but just didnt feel
quite right to me.

DS Lite
Its a DS-a-thon! Gorgeus, brighter, longer battery life, lighter and
smaller, nuff said.

BIN

C++ - RL
It's only now that I have had to use C++ more intensively that I truely
appreciate how much more I prefer Java. I'm sorry, but you can shove
pointers up your ass, Java may not be as effecient in compiled form,
but damn is it easier to use and easier to maintain code.

If only I had the time to scrap this and re-write in Java, even getting
it into Visual Studio would help. Alas Borland classes have me tied
down, which is my own bloody fault really.
