It's been a long time since the last update...

Wow, it's been over a year since my last update, but I'm planning on keeping this up to date now. Since the release of the Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS I've been recharged in my gaming habits. The GameCube, PS2, and Xbox were all nice, but things feel fresh again. Even with how short on time I've been with work and school, I've had some amazing gaming experiences that past year. I've picked up around 30 DS games, and I've really enjoyed the handheld.

Since the hype right now is on the Xbox 360, I'll kind of focus on that for a minute. Here's what I picked up at launch:

• Xbox 360 Premium Pack
• Call of Duty 2
• Project Gotham Racing 3
• Perfect Dark Zero
• Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006
• Kameo: Elements of Power
• Geometry Wars 2
• Gauntlet
• Smash TV
  
• Madden 2006
• Extra wireless controller
• Extra wired controller

Tomorrow I plan on picking up Dead or Alive 4 and I might be trading in Tiger Woods, Madden, and Perfect Dark Zero; these three titles just haven't been very appealing to me. With the higher pricing structure for software and accessories I think I'll probably be trading in games a bit more often than I used to. I don't normally like trading in games, but since getting married and buying a home money is a bit tighter.
