Tomb Raider
If I remember correctly, this was the first game we bought for the original PlayStation back in the day, and we also had a copy on the Saturn.
What a simply wonderful title. Many a gamer's opinion of Tomb Raider seems to have lowered as the years have gone by. I have spoken to those who see it as a cheap and unworthy franchise. While my opinion of some of the instalments that followed is not all that high, my loyalty to the original is unswerving. Even now, it is a delight. There is so much visible painstaking work on walls and textures and trims and items and statues. It was breathtaking at the time and still invokes feelings of awe.

TENCHU: Stealth Assassins
My favourite game of all time. Simple as that.
Tenchu: Stealth Assassins dates back to 1998, and is set in feudal Japan. The reality of ninja has been butchered horrendously by popular culture in the last few decades, but Tenchu seemed to handle it with some integrity.

Exhibition winners announced!
I got an email inviting me to view the live announcement of the winners before the public found out, but I thought neither my netbook or internet connection were up to the task. Here is the public list of the voting results:
Smithsonian American Art Museum: The Art of Videogames
Nice to see a few of my favourites on there :D. Very surprised that Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was beaten though!

Some thoughts
My partner and I took a bit of a break in the countryside and became engulfed in some other things, but hopefully normal posting will resume.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that the PlayStation Network is down and there's been a massive, colossal fuss.
The rumour-mongering is unending and there is far too much sensationalism in the way of any valuable information.
