Gaming awe
Gaming awe: Tonight I was struck with gaming awe. It's been a long time since I saw a game that made me go "wow" and more so - was one I could actually get into for any length of time. Most of the titles that come out are sort of ho-hum. Interesting for about 5 minutes. The kids seem to like them so perhaps I'm just too old now. Anyway, today I went and bought Zelda, Windwaker for my Gamecube. There's been a lot of talk about it, I'd seen some of it on TV and it's getting good reviews. Now, I never played any of the previous Zeldas, even on my trusty N64, so I was a little hesitant. However. It rocks. The graphics are superb, even though the use of cell-shading was criticized beforehand. The gameplay (as far as I've played) is just right for me with things moving along at my pace - instead of my pace being driven by the game. Anyway - if you've got a Gamecube - get Zelda. And if you're wondering which console to get - get the Gamecube and then get Zelda. You won't regret it.
