I could go straight to <em>Final Fantasy II<\/em>, but I think I&#8217;d prefer to mix it up.<\/p>\n<p>I might play <em>Fez<\/em>\u00a0next. I played the first few levels and I really want to get back to it. I don&#8217;t know how well it will translate to blog entries, though.<\/p>\n<p>Another game that I am itching to play is <em>Oblivion<\/em>. I played it years ago and got hooked. I don&#8217;t remember why I quit, but I know that I didn&#8217;t finish the main quest. But I played that game a <em>lot<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I should also get to <em>Dragon Age<\/em> soon. I&#8217;ve been borrowing that from a friend for at least a year. Probably more like 2 years.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I&#8217;ll be traveling in a month, so I&#8217;ll want to be sure that I&#8217;m playing a handheld game at that point. Maybe <em>Chrono Trigger<\/em>, <em>Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime<\/em>, <em>Puzzle Quest<\/em>\u00a0or <em>Professor Layton and the Unwound Future<\/em>\u00a0for\u00a0Nintendo DS.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m fairly far along in <em>Layton<\/em>. I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s much to write about with that game, though: &#8220;I solved this puzzle. Don&#8217;t want to give it away. Oh, and I solved another puzzle. Don&#8217;t want to give that away either&#8221;. Maybe the &#8220;one game at a time&#8221; rule can be bent for puzzle games?<\/p>\n<p>I played a lot of <em>Rocket Slime<\/em>\u00a0several years ago, but I&#8217;d start over now. I remember it being fun. <em>Puzzle Quest<\/em> is one that my wife played and enjoyed. I&#8217;ve never played it, as far as I recall.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there&#8217;s <em>Chrono Trigger<\/em>. I have attempted that game <em>many<\/em>\u00a0times. I played the original on my SNES. I think I borrowed it from a friend&#8217;s brother back in the late 90s. I also own the Playstation port that was packaged with <em>Final Fantasy IV<\/em>\u00a0as\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy Chronicles<\/em>. As I said, I started it many, many times. I&#8217;ll probably get deja vu for the first half of the game. I really don&#8217;t remember how much of it I beat.<\/p>\n<p>I actually did beat its sequel, <em>Chrono Cross<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m leaning toward <em>Chrono Trigger<\/em>\u00a0or <em>Rocket Slime<\/em>. Ugh, I don&#8217;t know. Well, I still have a while to decide.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I should come up with a way to play these systematically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m probably somewhere between 50-75% done with Final Fantasy, but I&#8217;m already wondering what game to play after I beat it.
