Is it just me or does the new Prince of Persia look like a cell-shaded Final Fantasy wannabe?! Crap in my opinion. I have no desire to play it, of course I can't (no next gen) but I wouldn't if I could.

The Thanksgiving Holiday is over here in the States and it turned out pretty good here. It was stressful helping my parents get the house ready for the rest of the family, but once they got here everything went smoothly. The kids had a good time and my XBOX proved valuable at occupying my pre-teen nephew with Unreal Championship. He loved that game. We also tried Medal of Honor Rising Sun on the PS2, not quite as good but he seemed to like it so I gave it to my sister to give to him for Christmas. He has a PS2 but not an XBOX.

Last week I continued playing Brothers In Arms: Road to Hill 30 that I hadn't played in about a year. I was almost to the end of D-Day, and now I am on D+7, the next to last level. I like its gameplay, although sometimes my guys seem to get shot too easily and can't hit the broad side of a barn. I had to replay a part where you have to blow up 3 tanks, separately, from a church balcony about 20 times. Tank shells are hell!

Also, since I unpacked my PS2 I decided to pick up where I left off in God of War. I was in Pandora's Rings and had to go through the room with the saws on the floor and fight the shielded undead over an opening floor. I admit I had to check out Gamespot's Game Guide to destroy the shields (square, square, triangle). I am onto Poseidon's Challenge swimming a bunch. Currently I am trying to get past the part where I have to hide in underwater floor openings to avoid a wall that will crush me.

Lastly, non-game related, I'm tired of por... I mean adult film stars trying to sell me "enhancement" pills. Most of them I have never seen, but they all look like dirty actors. Who wants to see that during their favorite show or football game?
