We limit the number of TV's in our home (two is plenty) so playing the PS2 generally means needing to get the approval of Alvis or Lavie first to share some "screen-time." That's why most of the gamage we have is geared for multi-player/family style gaming. Since we all have our own pc now, it's easier to pick up and play a pc game.<BR/><BR/>Friday nights Alvis and Lavie have this routine they have done since she was a baby. Alvis gets to fall asleep with Lavie in the parental bed and Dad gets to stay up late. I generally use that time to catch up on anime I've taped, blogging, or PS2 gaming. Around midnight I usually decide to A) fall asleep on the couch, B) go toss Alvis back in her bed, or c) Push the envelope and do an almost-all-nighter.<BR/><BR/>Right now we are all working our way through the latest Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire PS2 game together (up to three persons can group-play at the same time). I have picked these HP games up before exclusively for the PC. This is the first console version. It is really different and I'm not enjoying the game-play as much. I don't know if that is the difference between the console/pc systems or this game design and the previous ones....If I wait a year, I generally can score the PC version of HP games on PC for around $15 or so--discounted at Target so I'll be waiting a bit longer before being able to write a comparison.<BR/><BR/>Black isn't my usual style of gaming, but it really is simple fun. Even Lavie likes watching me play it...how lucky is that?!Claushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692921474310162470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13777170.post-1142121166417221552006-03-11T17:52:00.000-06:002006-03-11T17:52:00.000-06:00Sounds like fun.

I still haven't got around to finishing it. *sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
