My current addiction is SSX3, but I have a habit of returning to older game styles that have proven more addictive.

It started with Scorched Earth, “The Mother of All Games”. Many cold nights were spent shivering in the basement, playing this tank shooter.

An OpenGL remake exists as Scorched 3D, which added a 3D perspective to the game and network play.

I recently found another clone called GunBound that looks very promising. It’s taken the simple shooter’s gameplay to a whole new level online. I’d love to tell you more, but the hefty download is taking a while, likely due to the extensive graphics used throughout the game.

And then there’s the fact that I’m supposed to be working…

Now I’ve got another distraction…
SSX3 came out today, so I had to inturrupt my work day to get my giddy self to GameStop. Returning to the office, I was able to be disctracted by a few tasks, so productivity was relatively safe. After coming home and playing some however, productivity is the farthest thing from my mind.

I’m not currently playing because I’m supposed to work during the day, requiring some sleep at night. Stepping away from the console seemed like a good start. Unfortunately, the game’s grip is too strong, and I crave more.

I logged in here to let anyone know that I wont be at the office or online for a while… I’m with Kaori and her mad-skillz on the slopes.

So, we decided to pick up Soul Calibur II for the GameCube today. We went for that console over the others because Link is a far cooler special character than the others.

Kelly‘s asking me to beat Voldo, I must go.
