 I borrowed Call of Duty and XIII from Chris over the weekend. I've only loaded up CoD, and it's pretty fun so far. I've really liked the mission variety. The graphics are decent and the sound is great.
I'm not sure if Jamie is so keen on me playing with Sam, however. Last night Sam was sitting on my lap and we were trying to defend a bridge from oncoming troops. Our officer just gave us the order to man the machine gun, so we hopped on and started laying down suppressing fire.
I had the surround sound on and the volume was cranked. Jamie stuck her head in and gave me "that look". Soon enough, we were off the computer and doing something else. Sam's "But mom, it's only a machine gun" didn't help my cause very much, I think.

Sam and I finished up Beyond Good and Evil over the weekend. I'd classify it as a solid adventure game - not stupendously great, but pretty darn' good in its own right.
I'm still puttering through Deus Ex 2, which is okay. The physics is fun to play with and I like the multiple pathways to solve a problem. I've turned into a bit of an air duct monkey, prying open grates and seeing where they lead. Lots of fun.

 I picked up a couple games Friday - Beyond Good and Evil and Deus Ex 2. Deus Ex 2 had fair reviews and I'm finding the game to be okay with occasional bursts of fun. Beyond Good and Evil, however, is an overlooked gem. Both were quite cheap, $25 for DE2 and $20 for BG&E. The latter has been very much worth the price of admission.
Sam and I have been sneaking, photographing, and fighting our way through a mysterious invasion of our little planet. The graphics are stunning, with some of the best water effects I've seen in a game. I usually take over for the tricky fighting and sneaking parts, while Sam does most of the wandering around and "adventure style" gaming. There's also a huge number of mini-games, from a hovercraft race to a weird air-hockey like game that I've yet to master. Needless to say, Sam and I played a lot this weekend.
