It’s no secret that I’m a huge fucking geek. It’s also widely known that I enjoy videogames from time to time…okay, if by “time to time” one means “every goddamn minute I can get free.” I spent most of this evening, despite attempts involving liquor to sway me from my course, playing Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles with two other Commentator staffers who shall remain unnamed. Having played with the single-player a little, I can say that Crystal Chronicles is only good multiplayer. Particularly, if you’re playing with folks who don’t take the whole thing too seriously. Great game, very fun, but it’s not worth gettings stressed over.

Also, I’ve been playing Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time. It, also, is great. Challenging, with hard puzzles and difficult fighting, but the controls are intuitive, and the plot is interesting enough. Also, be prepared for the most insane jumping puzzles the world has ever known. There were some jumping puzzles in Viewtiful Joe (also a great game, but the last level is so obnoxious as to have driven me from bothering to finish it), but Prince of Persia’s are much, much more challenging. Also, the game as a whole is a lot more fun.

And, finally, I’m also playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It’s a follow up to what I would consider the best game on the original Playstation. Yes, I’m counting FF7 and FrontMission3. Tactics Advance is, honestly, the most addictive fun you can have with a GBA these days. Seriously, go buy it. Yeah, get the GBA too if you don’t have one already. It’ll help the economy, and you’ll get some kickass games. Speaking of the economy…oh, nevermind.
