I Heart LEGO Star Wars
The title says it all folks - this is the real deal. Fun, easy to pick up, with some surprisingly deeper strategy and pick-up-and-play co-op! Best of all, I found it at Micro Center for $20! Seriously, a great game for kids and adults alike. Get yourself a copy, you won't regret it. I promise.
I discovered the TV downstairs has component, aka "colorstream" inputs, and I tried my component "progressive scan" cable from Japan with my cube. "Progressive scan cable" is a misnomer, because it works in interlaced mode as well. Now I can enjoy my games in superior video quality! It also means that I am now enjoying LEGO star wars in its best possible video quality, since it doesn't support progressive scan anyway. The difference is nothing short of remarkable.
Micro Center also had a great clearance sale. I bought Deus Ex 2 for $6, Severance for 5, and some $0.86 games - an oldie called Deathtrap Dungeon and another oldie called Road Wars. When I got to the front, all of those games had another 25% taken off. Lucky! So the $1.00 games may not be so great, but they're less than a _dollar_. Can't beat that.
