Restarting Animal Crossing WW...
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 at 15:43 I've started playing Animal Crossing: Wild World on the DS again. And when I say "started again" I really mean it, i've completely re-begun the game.
It's made me fall in love with the game all over again. Completing simple tasks to pay off my mortgage, entering fishing competitions, meeting the locals and writing to them on a daily basis- it's just such an incredibly laid back and charming game playing experience, and unfortunately one that i've neglected for just too long. Switching on the DS and playing the game everyday is no longer a chore or mundane ritual, it's a joy and a pleasure. Sure my house is under-furnished and I have next to no in-game money whatsoever, but it's all just so much fun (and hey, maybe even better and relaxed than real life).
Like my sofa? I found it in the recycling bin. I could do with a carpet too, but no-one's donated one for me yet. I can always pawn my fishing trophy...

Mario Kart Vs Animal Crossing
Thursday, June 1, 2006 at 20:05
Something odd happened recently- I went my first 24 hours without playing any Animal Crossing: Wild World.
Since I got the game on day of release it's been as essential day in-day out as eating or going to the toilet, it's had an absolutely huge grip on me, even if it has only been for ten minutes a day. There's turnips sitting around the house though ready to be sold, so I imagine i'll be back to it sometime soon. And i've got orders to collect, and letters to post, and, well, you know how it is.
The reason behind the no-play is that I finally got round to buying Mario Kart DS.It's a fantastic example of a handheld console gem -pick up & play, finish a race in three minutes, then switch off- none of this adventure mode or lengthy campaign malarky. I was surprised too at the visuals and the frame rate- naturally it doesn't look as good as the Gamecube version, but the trackside scenery is packed full of detail and charm. I've yet to play it with others online but it's something i'm planning for this weekend. If it's anything like past MKs the multiplayer mode will be a real highlight.
