I hate to sound like a broken record, but it's another weekend of Odin Sphere, Tank Beat, and Super Paper Mario. The good news is, two of those are almost "done." With a renewed interest in my Virtual Console, thanks to a 4000 point investment, my recent purchases of Streets of Rage 2 and Punch-Out!! have been interfering with my long-term gaming—I'm having "issues" getting past Bald Bull in the World Circuit.

The other thing holding me back? That damned Odin Sphere is hard. A throw the SIXAXIS and let fly a string of expletives kind of hard. If it weren't so gorgeous and captivating I'd have to swear it off. But I shall persevere!

Enough about me. What are you playing this weekend? Michael McWhertor
