Long time no blog - seems recurring

2 full months since my last entry, and always the same excuse, real life always besting web life, aka wife-kids-house-work versus leisure time ;) well, mostly it was work...
I have had a hell of a workload and have been working in the train, mornings and evenings, and even at home for 3 months... So I've been shamefully inactive on the reading front and I've had no time to read anything but mangas and comic books. I'll try to fix that in the next months, I can barely contain my hunger for a good book.

I've been playing catch up with my Nintendo DS lately and I've (at long last!) dumped my tank model for a better DS Lite one: the comfort of the backlit screen is such that I now wonder why I waited so long.
Well, lately, I played:

• Sid Meier's Civization Revolution: not bad, but way too limited for someone who's used to Civ IV on a PC...


• Space Invaders Extreme: Just a quick distraction for short distances, I'm stuck in the fourth arcade level


• Anno: Create a new world: I've finished the campaign of this one... veeeeery good game


• Professor Layton and the Curious Village: Finished this one too. Some puzzles are really challenging but some others are just plain simple or badly phrased so that the solution lies in actually understanding the vague meaning of the text... But otherwise real cute


• Henry Hatsworth in the puzzling adventure: Real good blend of a platform game and a puzzle game; It's very cute, I love the graphics and the ridiculous way of speaking of the characters!


• Dragon Ball Origins: At last a Dragon Ball game that is not a brainless fighting game. Truthfully following the early adventures of Goku and Bulma, this one is a gem for all Dragon Ball fans

OK, it does look like a long list but it's to be spread on about 6 months I think so it's not that bad.
