Pimp's bitch X 3

I thought since I haven't posted in some time now and that Christmas has passed I would post about the cool stuff I got. Videogame wise I only got 3 games. While that may not seem like also they are all extremely good games.

For the GBA I got Gunstar Super Heroes. From an episode of X-Play I learned this is a sequel to an old Genesis game I think. The game is extremely impressive for the portable system. It has great graphics and some pretty advanced 3D models. It is very difficult on the Normal difficulty and I am not even going near Hard mode. I would recommend this game to anyone with a GBA. The game has an Easy mode so if Normal is too intense for you, you can still enjoy the game.

The other two games I got are for Xbox and are "Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones" and the port of "Half-Life 2". I can't say enough good things about both of these games. I have played but never owned or completed the previous Prince games. However they were both very well put together. This game is no different and fixed some of the problems I had with the previous games when I played them. It plays very smoothly and has a great balance of puzzles and combat. While if you haven't fully played the previous two, the plot will confuse you, but you should still get this game.

Half-Life 2 has been out on the PC for quite some time now. I have played parts of it and I always enjoyed it. The graphics, the controls, and the amazing physics made the game a master piece. On the Xbox the graphics have been turned down a little bit though they are still the most impressive graphics on the console. Also the multiplayer aspect has been removed. The Xbox version is strictly single player. So obviously if you have a PC that can handle Half-Life 2, you should play it on that platform. I did not have a gaming PC when the game was released and now I have a Mac (iMac G5, best machine I evar had) so I decided to get the Xbox version. The game is simply amazing. It is so varied and intense. An array of amazing weapons including the gravity gun which allows you to make the physics engine your bitch give you the power to go punk ass wild on anyone or thing that gets in your way. However I was disappointed to find a lack of special shampoo for the level where you fight an infestation of head-crabs. I could go further but I don't have to, buy this game, enjoy it, make sweet tenderous love to it.

So if you have a GBA and an Xbox buy all of these games. And this is not an option, if you do not buy these game we are going to have a problem.

Aside from video games I got some other stuff including a digital camera. The Canon Powershot A610 is a pretty good camera and for it's price (around $300) it is a pretty good deal.

Overall it was a pretty good Christmas, and feel free to comment about what cool gifts you got for Christmas too.
