Skyrates!


Skyrates is "a multiplayer online game that has you taking on the role of an ace pilot trying to conquer the skies. Whether you are a peaceful trader, a careful diplomat, or a bold fighter, the sky's the limit!

My cousin Chris talked about this game on his blog.
So I tried it out.

It's pretty fun.
Here's my Skyrate.

I'm also still working on finishing Zelda - getting the last of the precious metals for my Phantom Sword now.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass



Just finished Phantom Hourglass, November 2.
The last save is before the final boss, so I could sail around and look for more ship parts and fish for Neptoona, but after the story was over I lost that pull a bit.
I loved it though!

from earlier:
This is probably one of the best games ever!
Some say it's too easy, it's just right for me -- just challenging enough to be interesting but not frustratingly so.
I am about half way through I think. I had been suspicious of the stylus-only gameplay but it is quite fun and easy to control. Even with my stylus that seems to refuse to calibrate properly and so it's always a few pixels off -- it works.
It's just a joy to play - obviously a lot of thought, and it doesn't break the tried and true Zelda gameplay that people have loved since the original Legend of Zelda.
I am almost to the icy island, which I think has some of the cutest characters in the whole game! (at least from the Nintendo Power articles).
