From the Editor's Desk

I'm kind of tired of basically saying the same thing over and over down here, so today I'm going to treat this little space like my own personal Live Journal. I finally finished Brave Story: New Traveler and Super Paper Mario. Brave Story was lots of fun, I wrote a review on it, so I won't go into much detail here. I've been playing SPM on and off since it first came out months ago, but I just decided that it was time to retire it. I guess I'll have a review up in the Point of View section before too long.

In sticking with my plan to only have one console RPG and one handheld RPG going at one time, I'm now playing Blue Dragon and Jeanne d'Arc. Both of which are classic and quite entertaining. I have a decent enough backlog of titles thanks to my birthday at the first of the month, so I need to also try to start and finish a couple of Wild ARMs titles, Persona 3, Tales of the World, Luminous Arc, and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. So many games, so little time. This isn't counting the half dozen other titles that are still on the way, so wish me luck. I'm not sure how many of you do Xbox Live, but I hope you all enjoy playing Halo 3 here in the next few weeks, or at least have fun hearing about it.

I hope you enjoyed my ramblings or at least the editorials. I can't leave without a plug for more editorials, so here it is. Editorials go here. Until next time.
