I'm listening to the IGN Podcast Beyond, so I've just got the thought of a 360 out of my system. Thanks, Paul, for making sure I was feeling okay. Considering one for half a minute.

And just like you my list of "to play" games continues to get longer. I'm also picking my way through the back catalog of PSP games and DS games looking for value in my gaming dollar. While gaming is my primary source of entertainment (more than books or movies), I'm always thinking of it as gameplay for my gaming dollar. Playing a game for a few hours and setting it down for a while seems like a decent use of $20 (but not $40 - $60). I know I'll get back to them sometime. If one is playing a game for the story, it can continue to compel play. But if one is playing a game for fun, then picking up and putting it down is normal. We don't play through a board game until we've read all the questions, do we? Why then should we worry about finishing some games? I love picking up Madden for a game or New Super Mario Bros. for a few levels. I don't feel guilty about not playing it through. Other games pull the player into the story. You went back and finished MGS2 for the story. Brave Story on the PSP pulled me back in after setting it down for 4 days. Games with a narrative purpose asked to have the story experienced. Dark Mirror and Zelda:TPHG are pulling me back to playing to see how the narrative plays out. Maybe it's the Narratology and Ludology sides of me staying in balance. Paul Chad,

And thanks for the game recommendations. I've really loved my PSP. I recently beat Daxter for it, and am on the last level of Syphon Filter. I'm also loving Hot Shots Golf, which is great for portable casual play. Michael and Jenny, thanks for stopping by. And thanks for the game recommendations. I’ve really loved my PSP.

I have never before or since played anything that captured my imagination as those did. Also, I really enjoyed all the Onimusha games.
