I visited four different GameStops and never found one that had all three games I wanted and today was the last day of the buy two get one free sale. So I finally ended up getting a bunch of cheap older games, I just spent $20 and got six games. Among them was Metal Gear Solid 2. Now, I just have to wait until my friend gets his PS3 so I can have his PS2, until then I have some pretty game boxes to stare at.

I had never played any of the Resident Evil games before, but had always heard a lot about them. So I started playing the second one, I spent so much time trying to get it set up so I could save my progress, it seems they didn't have NTFS file systems in mind when they designed the thing. I finally had to install good old Virtual PC along with WinME and a virtual hd formated in Fat32 in order to get it to work. After all that I stayed up late playing it, around 1 am I was walking past a broken window in the police station and these arms stuck through the window grabbed me, I nearly wet my pants and threw my laptop. It was awesome! Then I played it for about thirty more minutes and got really bored with it, too much running back and forth and wasting time. I like my adventure games and my action games to remain separate, a bit of each just doesn't work for me. I still think I want to get RE 4 though, it is over the sholder camera view right? I have heard a lot of people who don't like the other RE games say they love RE 4, so I think I will like it more.
