Nothing says lovin' like a bun in the oven

Isn't that right Britney?

So, the first exam is over with. Overall, could have been better, could have been worse. There was only one question I felt was "unfair". 10 marks out of 70, and I probably got none of them, but hey.

I can't be upset anyways, only 4 left! I'll be 21 2 days later, which is also fairly cool.

I was thinking about it a little while ago, and I think this year is already a better year for video games than last year was. I mean, Doom 3 wasn't bad, Half-Life 2 was good. Halo 2 was...uh...well, I only played 3 levels. They weren't bad though. The point is, the year was full of sequels to first-person shooters. This year, what do we have?

Mercenaries - A game by Lucasarts that is both a) Not an adventure game and b) Good. I know, it's shocking. Think Grand Theft Auto meets Ghost Recon and you'll be on the right track.

Jade Empire - An action RPG made by Bioware, those wacky guys who brought you Baldur's Gate and Knights of the Old Republic. Gee'll be happy to hear the combat isn't turn based or frequently paused, and it's getting pretty enthusiastic reviews, so it's definately worth picking up.

Psychonauts - Lucasarts adventure game mixed with Mario 64, made by the guy behind Grim Fandango and full Throttle, voiced by INVADER ZIM.

Out in 6 days. I think I'm in heaven.

The Legend of Zelda - Holy shit.

Final Fantasy XII - Might be one that people who don't normally like FF games get into, seeing as it's real time combat. Hopefully the main character isn't a wuss this year.

So yeah....no FPS sequels there.

Time to study.

this might be harsh, but the world would probably be a better place if britney was spayed.
