One of the “prob­lems” around the hol­i­days sea­son is the flood of qual­i­ty games that come out. Publishers are always vying for that Christmas mar­ket, and set release dates so that peo­ple have ample time to wrap up a game and put it under the tree. I’m cur­rent­ly addict­ed to Tony Hawk Underground for the GBA. I’ve been play­ing some Prince of Persia, although with­out a con­troller it’s very frus­trat­ing. I can com­plete­ly under­stand why so many peo­ple have such good things to say about it, but I’m think­ing that it’s only playable as a con­sole game. There’s also Uru, which I still have to play and fin­ish with Trolley. Then there’s Double Dash for the GC I haven’t tried yet, and Wind Waker I haven’t fin­ished yet.

Good thing I already fin­ished Call of Duty before Christmas, and the Thief III and Half-Life 2 release dates have been pushed back or there would be no way I’d be moti­vat­ed enough for class.
