08/26: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 [metacrtic] – a tinkering update rather than any new big features. The big emphasis is on helping you improve by giving more feedback about your swing and post-round advice from Tiger’s swing coach.

Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty [metacritic] {$15} – They missed on either the price or the length; it feels like a bonus level for Tools of Destruction, but maybe not enough to justify the price. (I’m only about 45 minutes, maybe I’ll change my mind.) It’s still a [...]

Timber Rattlers 8 – Cougars 7 (13)

Player L: 269/369/399 (768)
Player H: 277/313/482 (795)
Player L can be quickly identified as the beloved Kosuke Fukodome. He’s still credited for walking 10% of the time, but it’s more like 7% in the last couple months.
Who’s Player H?
So. I’m trying to convince myself that I’m doing this as people watching fun (standing in line, but ironically) and that Gamestop is so ridicously close, I might as well do it. Actually, Walmart is closer, but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere (and their cashers are so slow late at night.) I have [...]

08/07: Monster Madness: Grave Danger (metacritic) – port of the 360 title, with new features (and a new subtitle) but nothing that actually fixes some of the game playing problems of the first game, and the visuals are really bad.
