Temptation abounds

My birthday has come and gone, and I scored pretty well. I somehow got both Pokemon: Diamond and Pokemon: Pearl, as well as Puzzle Quest for the DS. I am incredibly pumped for all of these games. I haven’t had a good dose of Pokemon in a long while, and the reviews of the new games have been quite positive. Puzzle Quest is also very exciting. I’m not hugely into puzzle games, but that is only for lack of exposure. A game like this, which combines a compelling story, RPG elements, and puzzle gameplay is sure to suck me into the genre. I’m a big fan of Meteos already, which only has addictive gameplay. The addition of a story bodes ill for my time. But it’s Pokemon that’s really getting me pumped. I hate writing this paper, but with this kind of excitement waiting for me I’m able to push through.

I just saw a preview for the sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance over at Gamespot. Now I can’t stop drooling.
