Well, I finally finished the Neverwinter Nigh...

Well, I finally finished the Neverwinter Nights 2 official campaign a couple days ago. I was really sick, and playing through kept my mind off things. There were some surprisingly fun moments towards the end. The final battle felt truly epic and the Siege was great. Most games start with a bang and then have marginal endings, but NWN2 seemed different. The ending felt like it had a lot of attention paid to it and it really showed.

The kids continue to play games too. Seraph got a gift certificate for EB Games. Sam got Trace Memory, an old-time adventure game for the Nintendo DS. It involves a lot of puzzle solving and using the stylus to immerse the player in the game. What's cool is that Sam's pretty sharp. He saw a baseball and said, "Aha! I can use that to knock down the briefcase." Sure enough, he was soon tossing it up to try and knock it down.

Emma got Cooking Mama, which she plays off and on with Nintendogs. She's still only three, so her patience for games is pretty short. Emma's also a fan of NickJr.com, which she'll visit once a week or so.

More often than not, though, the kids and I hang out in the basement to play physical games these days. Sam usually sneaks in some computer time each day, but it's interesting how they have the most fun jumping around when I get home.
