The wide world of videogames
I just finished Front Mission 4 a week ago and had a gap in my videogaming. I needed something that would take a bunch of time to finish so I bought Tales of Symphonia for Gamecube. I think I can play that through September and then some of the big holiday games are going to start coming out. The New GTA sounds pretty cool but I'm not sure if I'm going to buy it. While I thought GTA 3 was amazingly good, vice city was essentially the same thing and had very little innovation. GTA kinda lives off shock value, and that was missing after spending hours on 3 killing stuff until the Tanks rolled out.

I'm really just wetting my pants and waiting for the new Metal Gear and Final Fantasy 12.

Tales of Symphonia is pretty fun, it has a lot of silly dialogue. It reminds me of Zelda II, where the monsters appear on the field and when you touch one, you enter the battle screen. I'm a big fan of cooking in the game. It makes sense as health replenishment and also is fun to do. A cooking game is truly overdue. There's a cool Japanese PS2 game where you manage a noodle shop I saw when I went there but I wouldn't be able to play it on my US PS2 and also I thing understanding the text would be pretty important for that kind of game.
