A Man And His Dinosaur

I've got a new favorite game! For now. That is subject to change upon my acquisition of StarCraft II. But for now, I've been playing around in the Halo universe with both Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. If you don't have it, Borrow it or buy it. It is worth it. The only thing that could make it better would be if you could get it for free. Which I did. The local video game store, Game Over, had a used copy for $29.95. But they were offering 20% off due to the fact that the original game box was missing. On top of that, I received an additional 15% off because I'm a member. That brought the total down to around $20. Now, you might be wondering how I got . this for free. Well, it helps if you have over $30 in store credit. On to the next game.

Mini Ninjas! Cait used her Game Stop gift card to get this and she loves it! She runs around as, well.. a mini ninja. The ninja fights mini samurai and saves all of the forest creatures from enslavement from the evil warlord. Besides being adorable (her words!) she says that its a great way to unwind and kind of veg out. No real thinking involved. Besides the main quest, on each level, you can find plans, shrines, statues, animals and other things that almost amount to a side quest. And since we got it for the XBOX 360, it should be some fairly easy achievement point. I think at some point I'll run through it and grab the achievment.

For our third game of the evening, Alden (Cait's brother) got her Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Wii. While we haven't played this yet, I know Cait is really excited to get started on it. I am too. It means that I can have the XBOX back to play ODST! Of course it won't be in full HD glory, but oh well. That just means that we need a new TV for the bedroom (hint hint). But as for now, there isn't much I can really say about this game. I'll write something after we've played it. And now, I leave you with this:
