So many games, so little time.

I finally broke down and decided to try out game rentals again.  After some quick research, I ended up going with Gamefly, but only because Gamelender didn't offer Wii games.  However, GameLender does have over 7,000 games, but a lot of them are Nintendo legacy games.  Blockbuster has the advantage when you want a game RIGHT NOW, but I'm limited to whatever is on the shelf at my local store, when I happen to wander in.   Waiting for a game to come in the mail is an exercise in sweet anticipation, unless you were really hoping for your first choice.  I'm still waiting to receive a copy of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, sadly it has yet to arrive .  Instead I got my second and third choices.

Pirates of  The Caribbean: At Worlds End (Wii) This is light fun, and the voice acting is surprisingly on the money (at least in regards to Jack),  but there's something to slick about this game.  Maybe I'm just all pirated out right now,  but I ran out of steam for this title quickly.   I will probably try it again on another console at some point.

Primal (PS2)  Ever watch a movie that a much younger you thought was great, only to discover that it wasn't nearly the masterpiece you thought?  OK, it wasn't that bad.  Primal has amazing art direction, cut scenes, music, and voice acting.  Also, in the movie browser section, you can replay from any point you already played.   For it's time Primal is really quite stunning.  Sadly, the combat controls are like having to fight with your hands tied together; which is sad since the point of the game is to use primal energies in combat and puzzle solving.  Still, Primal will always have a soft spot in my heart.  Now, I should go rent "The Last Star Fighter", and see if it stood the test of time. 

Or maybe I'll just live with my rosy memories instead.
