Weekend Gaming

This weekend I spent a considerable amount of time playing computer games. I started out by playing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time , which is a very fun game. The character animation and environments are amazing. I remember playing the original Prince of Persia on my Mac, and Sands of Time perfectly captures that style of gameplay in a 3D environment. I'm about half done with Sands of Time.

The other game I played was Halo. I'm only on the second level (the levels in Halo are long), but so far it has been fun. The ship environments are repetitive, and occasionally I lost my way simply because all of the hallways looked the same. However, the outdoor environments are gorgeous and offer a lot of room for tactical maneuvering. Halo doesn't seem to have much of a story, but the mission design and enemy AI make it enjoyable.

Phil has informed me that Need for Speed Underground has a drifting mode, so I might have to try that game next.
