Turning Back The Clock A Bit

Craving a litlte "older-but-not-quite-old-school" flavor, I decided to break out the original Star Wars Battlefront last weekend. I miss the shit out of that game... there is nothing better than intergalactic civil war. I think that little blast from the past opened Pandora's Box, because I'm on a total retro kick now. I started replaying Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories on the GBA emulator on my phone, and dusted off my (original Xbox) copy of Morrowind, ready for me when I get home tonight. I guess it's the perfect time for it, because there isn't anything huge on my radar right now and the One doesn't launch til November.

Battlefront was awesome. My kids still play that on the OG Xbox. They are making a battlefront 3. Can't wait.

After writing that gladiator game review, I've had an urge to go back and play some old turn-based RPGs like Gladius or Ogre Battle 64...I used to spend hours playing those old games.

Lala, I think the Battlefront 3 announcement was the catalyst that set this whole thing off. I probably would've played Knights Of The Old Republic otherwise.... another great game. Jones, I thought about that recently too. I have Final Fantasy V, VII, VIII & IX (digital) on my PS3, thought about getting into one of those as well.

When Morrowind pisses me off enough (which it's starting to do), I'll switch to Max Payne.
