The Best Game Ever and stuff

So, Not too long ago, I traded in my Xbox (and all the games I had) for a PSP. I had basically stopped playing the Xbox because I never had the time and it was a pain to switch over the TV (OK, not really a pain, but an extra step). A friend showed me his PSP and some of the emulators he had running on it, etc. (He was playing Super Mario Brothers) and I was hooked. I got the PSP and it is great. While some of the games I've played have been so-so, they've mostly been very good, and there have been a few that have been great. Burnout Legends is a fantasic game. They really captured the speed of the other console versions.

But, as the title insinuates, there is one game that I consider the best one ever. It just came out a little over a week ago, and it is Lego Star Wars II, The Original Trilogy. Wow, I really liked the first Lego Star Wars even though the game was based on the new trilogy (which I think is better than a lot of people let on). But, since this new one is based on the original, it instantly makes the game better. Some of the scenes that are shown show off the humor and style that this series has been known for. The PSP version has some changes in it that let you play the bosses from the first game, so that is cool. It is like they designed this game just for me.

Also recently released was the original trilogy DVDs with bonus original theatrical releases as special features. I bought a version of A New Hope at Wal-Mart that included a very dated graphic novel of the movie. I think I now have like six versions of this movie in my collection. It's ok, if they released another version in three years, I'd probably buy it again.

That's all for today,

Oh yea, Happy Birthday, Hal!
