Unpause
March 20, 2006
I'm feeling better and out of bed which means it's time to get back to business. I can't say that I formed a special bond with any particular video game during this health lapse. Perhaps two weeks isn't long enough to do so, or maybe I should have chosen better video games to play while resting. I didn't play much, but when I did I gave Super Princess Peach and Super Monkey Ball Touch and Roll each a go. Peach has some platformer fun inside it, but I was disappointed that the game seemingly had no soul. It felt hollow and very by-the-numbers, unfortunately. As for Monkey Ball, it's more frustrating than fun. The touch screen made sure of that with its spotty and unintuitive controls. Oh well, they can't all be life-affirming gaming experiences. Now then, let's get back to work. Press The Buttons turned one year old last week and there's still lots to do.
