I don’t have much to say today but it seemed silly not to put something up for the first anniversary. 🙂

Since buying Trigger Heart: Exelica, I’ve gone on a little bit of an XBLA spending spree and picked up Omega Five and Rez HD.

Both look excellent – I’ve played Rez on the PS2, but seeing it in 720P glory is something entirely different, and Omega Five looks gloriously shooty in the tradition of games like Sidearms and Forgotten Worlds – and I hope to one day get to play them.

Problem is, we were at a friend’s place last night, and he had to go and show my wife an XBLA game called “Boogie Bunnies”, and now I may never get my hands on the 360 controller ever again.

On the topic of small-fuzzy-mammal-themed videogames, I have been playing Lemmings on the PSP lately. It’s a good fit – the PSP’s dual controls and wide format screen make it an excellent Lemmings machine, and I am hoping to stick to it long enough to play through the entire game. If I can pull that off, it will be something of an accomplishment, as I have purchased this game four times in the last 16 years – for DOS, Super Nintendo, Windows, and now PSP – and have never gotten past “tricky”

And not very far into “tricky”, at that.

A couple of small gripes, because I’m a fussy bastard:

1) The music is All Wrong on the PSP.

2) They took away the “nuke” button, so you can no longer let out your frustrations in an appropriate manner.
