I'm posting the Sunday recaps a little bit early tonight because I'm really exhausted and I need to relax before I head to bed. Let me tell you a little bit about my busy day. First, I woke up and beat Bionic Commando. I was so utterly shocked by how simple the final boss encounter was that I immediately took it out of my XBOX 360, where it will never return again. Have any of you beat Bionic Commando yet? If you have, what did you think of the ending, or the whole game for that matter?

Next, I sat down with my PS3 and beat Shatter. I followed that up by sitting down and writing a review for the game, which hopefully should be published tomorrow morning. Just so you know, I absolutely loved the game and scored it a 9/10. For only $7.99, you should all go out and buy this game, right now. I'm serious! Stop reading this recap and go buy it. You won't regret it.

I finished the day up by grilling some pork kabobs for me and my girlfriend. I used some nice thick center cut pork chops, with onions, and some fresh Green Peppers grown right in my back yard. I included rice and corn bread as sides, and enjoyed a delicious meal. It was awesome. Finally, I sat down for 2 hours and did the recaps. Now I'm gonna sit down and watch some television before bed.

So how was your day?

What do I think of Bionic Commando? I think it needs less swinging over fucking water, that's what I think >:(

Maybe you can take that Bionic Commando and trade it... you know, if someone wants it. If not, I made a Goozex series too you might wanna look up.

Ew, pork, too much substance, not enough flavor for my tastes. Me? Small yard work, then got invited by a friend to eat some sushi with him. Good stuff.

I just don't think Bionic Commando will be any close to my taste. It's funny how Bionic Commando REArmed, which is considered as just a secondary game to hype, is much more satisfying than the game Capcom actually intended to hype for us.

Also, I can safely say that Shatter is easily worth the $8 I spent on it. Not only saying this because this game is pretty much Arkanoid on steroids and I love the hell out of that game, but the fact that it has some pretty interesting mechanics to mess around with, and it has some pretty kickin' beats.

Also, Shard Storm brings me endless amusement, I can't get sick of it.

Wow! That was a busy day!
(and I'm hearing more and more about Shatter... but it was a game that slipped right under my radar so I look forward to your review!)
