Some games i would like to have the time and money to play, in no particular order:

• Dead Space
• Far Cry 2
• Fable II
• Gears of War 2
• Left 4 Dead
• Fallout 3

Tonight i downloaded a fantastic game on XBOX Live Arcade called Castle Crashers.

It's basically in the same vein as other slash-and-hack games (I love Streets of Rage) but it's super quirky, brilliantly animated and quite taxing.

I'm betting the multiplayer is immense. Can't wait to try that out.

• Castle Crashers at Metacritic
• Developed by The Behemoth

I forgot to mention that Streets of Rage 2 has been released on the European Virtual Console! Good times :D

I made this Desktop Tower Defence layout in Fun mode. Nothing groundbreaking but i thought id post it because it's nicely symmetrical. Finished with 17 lives remaining with 6293 points (i think) :)

Streets of Rage 2 has appeared under the Future Releases bit on the European Virtual Console Wikipedia page. Nice!

This is my solution to Desktop Tower Defence on Normal difficulty. I finished it with 8 lives remaining. Woo.

After ive finished all my school work i shall focus my efforts on replaying The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past on the Wii Virtual Console. I originally completed it when i was younger on the rather good SNES.

According to the list on Wikipedia, Streets of Rage is due for it's Virtual Console release on March 2. I really hope this isnt the case! I have too much work at the moment without amazing classic games getting in the way.

So i cant sleep and what do you do when you cant sleep? Play on the mindlessly boring games on your phone.

Problem is, i got hooked playing an amazing game called FotoQuest Fishing (no pun intended) and it's amazing! What you do is use your joystick to take pictures of different fish! I sh_t you not, im easily amused. My highest scoring photo is 2548.

This game came with my Sony Ericsson k800i, i dont know if it lives on any other phones.

I bought New Super Mario Bros. and its good! Well, ive only played through the first world but it seems to be a new-school take on the NES classic. Nice.
