Rock Band is so close to coming out, I can almost taste it… Not that I really want to know what a rock band tastes like. Hopefully sometime tomorrow I’ll be playing up a storm! Just need a band name… So far “DM, and the Chaotic Paladins” seems to be the front runner. Why must the days go by so slow?

While waiting for Rock Band, I have been playing several fantastic games. Most noteworthy is Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. This is my first jaunt into the world of Ratchet and Clank, but I’m very glad I decided to go for it. I finished the game last week, but am already a good chunk though “challenge mode” which is pretty much the normal game just harder. I love the weapons, and the leveling system. The humor is priceless as well. So far, the best PS3 game I’ve played. Not that this is saying much, but most people tend to agree that it’s fantastic.

We also picked up Super Mario Galaxy a little while ago. Mostly because I’ve been looking for a platformer game that both Kibeth and I can enjoy and play together. Fortunately, this game has a nice lite co-op option for a second player to be quite involved with the game. It has been quite fun, even if the insane gravity of most of the worlds is enough to give anyone a headache. And, it’s been good to get back to playing the Wii as well.

To beat a dead horse… Waiting for Rock Band has almost been like waiting for Christmas day as a kid. I wake up in the middle of the night, hoping that maybe I slept through a whole day and it has finally come. I’m sure tonight I’ll be tossing and turning, and end up too tired to play at all… Thank heaven for caffeine!
