Game Wrap-up
 Had a great day biking through urban territory today, and it gave me a lot of time to think... On my list of things to think about was an update to my games list, about three months worth of purchases.  So without further ado...

• Splinter Cell: Conviction (360) - because I have acquired a taste for stealth gaming
• Resident Evil 5 (360) - Harvey hated it so much that he gave me his copy.  I only play it co-op with Jamal... I don't imagine this to be fun at all in single-player
• Mushroom Men (Wii) - because I nearly destroyed myself working on this game... its development time spanned a pivotal transition period in my life and career.  I finally purchased my own copy from Amazon because my old studio never received any copies from the publisher to give to its dev team.
• Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (360): because I heard the fiction was compelling despite the flat combat mechanics.... I finished the game and traded it in for store credit.  The fiction is, indeed, compelling, and the combat was, indeed, flat... boss fights were frustrating
• Civilization: Revolution (360) - because Sid Meier is supposed to be the shit... so much so that he puts his name on the box in possessive form.  I own Sid Meier's game.
• I really wish I could get a refund for Braid on the 360.  That game was pretentious.
