So three nights ago we beat God of War. Pretty damn upset the game only lasted for 10 hours. I mean at the end it was a pretty good game, with only a few annoying parts (that rotating sword rock wall in the hades level can kiss my ass). There just wasn't any replay for me in the game anymore....I think I was barely able to make my way through on normal difficulty....putting it on hard would drive me crazy with frustration. As it was my damn hand and joints hurt after playing this game...maybe i'm just getting old.

And then two night ago we beat Dragon Quest 8 again....see after you beat it for the first time you get a bonus dungeon called the dragovian trials, which unlocks an alternate ending. The game was great, over 160 hours of game play with the extra dungeon, and over all it was really enjoyable to play. Only really a few major gripes:
1. Enemies can stop you from fleeing...but you never stop enemies from fleeing...very aggrevating, especially with metal slimes
2. The alternate ending sucked. Um...hello? It's exactly what the first ending should have been all along. Why not just make one freakin' ending and add the dragovian trials to the main part of the game? Whoever made the choice to split them made a big mistake.
3. The alchemy pot should work in reverse, so ifyou want to deconstruct something you made you can. especially when there are limited numbers of items in the game.

Anyways, so now we have Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition and Radiata Stories to play :) Weeeee, now I just have to find time.
