My wife has always been a fan of the Final Fantasy games. Over a year ago
I bought for her Final Fantasy XIII, which she has enjoyed playing (as time has permitted — notice
you don't read too many posts from me about new games!). We've all enjoyed watching it, too —
kiddo has taken to calling it "The Lightning Game" for reasons which escape me at the
moment. Mommy's now finished the game, and with excellent timing: the next release in the FF
franchise comes out at the end of the month. I reserved her a copy yesterday.
This ought to make my 360 happy, because it spends most of its up-time serving up Lego Star Wars --
our daughter's absolute favorite game. And we're amazed at her progress: as she's maturing, she's
now actually playing the game, as opposed to simply messing around until she remembers how
much fun it is to slap Jar Jar. (By the way, her latest favorite thing to do is to use R2-D2 to
shock stormtroopers, because they rub their bottoms.)
Lately, though, there's adult fun to be had (apart from FF XIII): Jellyvision's re-issue of the
classic PC trivia game "You Don't Know Jack". My wife and I play it often when kiddo is
away.
I recently learned that classic DOOM and content updates for YDKJ are available on XBOX Live. I view
these as two good reasons to get my box back online. I put in a bid on a wireless-N controller today --
fingers are crossed.
