Batman

I'm really trying hard to get into the Batman Arkham Asylum game. I recognize that it's awesome, and if you're a fan of Batman comics, even awesomer (nice grammar, I know). I know there's a ton of side quest puzzle things, and that the glide kick is super cool, but I'm lacking the enthusiasm that I feel I should have for this game. I got it through Game Fly and have liked it, but do I really like it enough to keep? I know I *should* but if I don't will I kick myself for it later? Probably. I better hold onto it then, and can always sell it later if I really don't get into it.

I dl'd a few demos yesterday: the new Galaga (clouds part, angels sing when I think of the old one), Deadliest Warrior 2, and Dead Block.

Deadliest Warrior 2 looks good to me because I'm a history buff (racking up the nerd points, I know) and it looks like it might be like Mortal Kombat (huzzah for SNES MK!!!)

Dead Block: looks good, probably humorous. 50's setting, zombie attack game where you build crap to keep zombies out and then finally have to bash their brains in. Screen shots look decent.

Galaga: the new one I'm not so sure I'm going to be as crazy about. I think nostalgia plays a big part in why I like Galaga (original) so much, more than it being an awesome game.

Anyway, those are my predictions, will update in comments ater I play each of them (which is right now).

Small update on Matt situation: this weekend was lovely- it was as if I had never said anything. If anything, he has stepped up an effort to make sure I feel wanted. Hoping he's doing it for real, not just lulling me into a false sense of security before pulling the rug out from under my feet. More on that later perhaps. For now, all is well.
