Monday notes

- Happy belated Father's Day to you all.  I had quite the eventful weekend.  Here's a few of the highlights.

1.  Don't stand up in a canoe. Lost my sunglasses and my hat.  Pisser

2.  Digital cameras don't recover quickly from water damage.  2 days later and it finally started working again.

3.  Shaving your head really surprises your spouse.

- My question for this week is whether I want to try The Conduit on the Wii via Gamefly... or Fight Night.  The demo for Fight Night was entertaining, but the thought of a fun FPS on the Wii is something that sounds like a ton of fun.

- I tried out The Bigs 2 and NCAA Football demos and was pretty impressed by both.  The Bigs had plenty of goofy fun plays and looks to be a nice extension of the first game.

As for NCAA, Dan is right on.  It does play a lot like Madden.  I was getting ripped up by the Gators in the play through that I gave it yesterday... so it seems like I'm going to need some work before I start playing it again.

- I tried out Singstar Volume 2 for the PS3 and Lips yesterday as well.  Both were pretty entertaining, but I have to say that Singstar is just a better game.  The ability to be able to record video and audio of your performance and publish them online is just too entertaining.  I posted my version of Bobby Brown's 'My Prerogative' yesterday.  I'll be curious to see if I get any reviews... heh.

- Just when I thought I was really getting better at Tiger Woods on the Wii (-6 in the second tournament in my career with 9 holes to go,) and then I tripled one, doubled another and scrambled my way to a -1 finish for the two round tournament.

The game is just a ton of fun to play.  it's a great exercise to learn a bit more about your golf swing and how you can use a bit of rotation in your hands to work the draw and fade when needed.  I'll be playing this game for quite some time.
