So I've been itching to buy a new game for my Wii, but I'm also itching to play a survival horror game. Since Fatal Frame 4 won't be out for awhile yet, my options boil down to Obscure 2 and the new Alone In the Dark. I've heard bad things about the Wii version of Obscure 2, so I was wondering if anyone had played the new Alone in the Dark. Is it worth trying out?

Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to take an opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas (or a very belated Hannukah, or.... well, whatever you celebrate).

I'm excited as I finally got my Wii and I've been playing TLoZ: Twilight Princess nonstop. It's hard to tell if in the end I'll love it as much as Ocarina of Time, but so far it's definitely giving OoT a run for its money.

Anyways, hope everyone had a great few days.

Oh, and early HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Just so anyone who cares at all knows, I'll be leaving the comfort of Reno to go visit British Columbia in a couple of days. I need a vacation, so it's going to be nice to get out of town and get to see some actual trees and water. My parents are taking my sister and I, so at least I won't be alone with the old folk, which will make things a little more interesting.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you guys know that. I'll see you when I get back in something like 2 weeks.

Just spreading the good news everywhere I can...

I'm now officially accepted to the graduate program.  Hurray!  It's good to know I didn't move here for no reason, not to mention my year completing these pre-requisits was not wasted.

That is all.

My game selection problems are over.

I had been eyeing the original Final Fantasy VII for some time, and decided finally to ask a local game store, Game Force, if they had a copy of it.  This came about mostly because one of my friends got it and watching her play it made me want it badly.  Well, they had it, but only a copy that had no case or booklet to it, so he gave it to me cheaply.

I got it home and to my disappointment, the game didn't work, so I returned it to the store, for which they said they would give me store credit and call me the second they got a new one in, something that sometimes takes months.

Well, lo and behold, the very next day I got a phone call saying they had a mint condition, non greatest hits version in, complete with booklet and game guide, (a total of usually around $90 or so on ebay) and would I like it?  I told them yes, and when I went and got it, I expected to have to pay a bit extra.  Well, the guy said that they would just take my store credit for it.

The moral of the story is, I got my grubby little paws on a nice, almost perfect copy of Final Fantasy VII for very cheap, and am loving the game.

So much for playing survival horror next. ^_^
