Not much to report
January 27, 2008 by Adam in Adam's Games
Not much to report. I've been playing Guitar Hero 3 and pretending I'm a rock star. It's surprisingly fun, especially when you get to yell out "Rock and Roll!" at the end of a song. Jamie just looks at me funny.
I've also been playing Crysis, which is a standard shooter with a few twists. You have a special suit which you can set for speed, strength, armor, or stealth. I'm partial to stealth, it turns out. The other fun thing is that it's pretty beautiful to look at. It's set in a tropical island, with gorgeous trees all around. As a bonus, you can shoot at them and make them fall over, along with buildings that often get blown to pieces.

Over the break, we played a lot of Bookworm Adventures. My favorite moments were when I helped supply words, Sam would spell them, and Emma would click on the letters. It was a group effort and even Jamie would come by on occasion to pitch in some suggestions.
Since we've been back, Sam's working through Super Mario Galaxy. Last night Emma did a bit of online web games, mostly Barbie and Polly Pocket themed. Needless to say, multiple pages of cartoonish characters and animals were printed out.

I've been playing odd games off and on over the last few weeks. I finished up Call of Duty 4, re-evaluating it from a fairly standard shooter to an extremely high-production, varied shooter. It was short, but very well done, which is something I can appreciate.
I continue to have fun playing Super Mario Galaxy with Sam. It feels like I'm his little helper, contributing somewhat, though the real success is his. Since the gameplay is so varied, the real trick is figuring out what each area is asking you to do.
I also bought Bookworm Adventures, as they had a half-off sale. I played the free version and loved it. It's strange how simply spelling words can be so compellingly fun. Hopefully I can get Sam playing it and boost his spelling skills a bit more.
