It has been a while since I did a post about what
video games I am currently playing.
Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection
This is a follow-up to the popular Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection. I just received this the other day, I pre-ordered it when I saw it was going to be released. I’ve always been a fan of pinball machines, played them all the time back in the 80’s, while a lot of other kids my age were playing video games. I love the graphics, the sounds, and the interesting layouts the manufacturers came up with. This game isn’t as good as the Wiliams Collection, mainly because there aren’t as many table challenges, only one per table, compared to 10 on the Williams Collection. I still enjoy the tables in this collection, though; there’s a nice variety. As with the previous pinball collection, I enjoy grabbing a beer, putting on some music, and sitting back to play for a couple hours.
Super Mario Bros. Wii
I love this game. In fact, I can’t think of a Mario game I’ve played that I didn’t like. This game goes back to the 2D side scrolling style of Mario gameplay, and is super challenging. I’ve played through the entire game, and I have yet to find a way into level 7, plus I still have a lot of gold coins to collect, so I will be revisiting this one for a while.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
I love me some Zelda. These games are always a blast. I just started playing this one, so I haven’t gotten very far, but so far the story and gameplay are great. Like Mario, I’ve been a fan of every Zelda game I’ve ever played.

Nintendo DSi

The Nintendo DSi came out recently, it’s an update to
the Nintendo DS Lite handheld gaming system. This
update provides a couple things
I gave my Nintendo DS to my niece, Payton. My nephew, Bryceson, and niece, Jayda, each got one for Christmas, and Payton had been doing chores to earn money to buy one. Since I was getting rid of mine I gave it to her and let her spend her money on games.
I did buy a game to go with it, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. I was a big fan of GTA Vice City, and while I knew this wouldn’t be as big and extravagant as that, being on the small screen, it was getting rave reviews. It is lots of fun. The developers did a great job of bringing the game to the handheld platform.
- Camera
- Wi-Fi internet browsing
- SD Card Slot for adding a card with music on it (MP3 Player)
- Interface similar to Nintendo Wii, where your home screen has a slot for all of the different things you can do, and any games you download.
- DSiWare store and games.
