I haven’t written that much recently. So just what is the current state of play? The lure of overtime temporarily KO’d a lot of my gaming activities, but I’ve been playing Civ IV, Dancing Stage Mario Mix (what curtains were invented for!), Resident Evil 4 and I’ve just picked up a copy of More Brain Training (apparently my Brain Age is a disappointing 42 
). Plus the perennial Wario ware and Mario Party sessions with the kids.
A little bit of a go at Resident Evil 4. So far I’ve wandered around a bit, shot lots of bad guys with axes and pitch forks, encountered an ex-Spanish Cop called Luis in a wardrobe, been captured and injected (with something - I guess a virus?), shot lots more people and encountered a bad guy who seems to think I’m one of them.
Chapter 1-1: Hit Ratio 70%, Enemies Killed 36, Deaths 2 (well I was still getting used to the controls)
Chapter 1-2: Hit Ratio 82%, Enemies Killed 53, Deaths 0
A games/DVD shop, called Black Box, has opened in Aldridge (Map) - it seems to be mainly second hand stock, but there is a nice selection of gamecube games and today I found a reasonably priced and good condition copy (complete with Nintendo Stars) of Resident Evil 4.
