In Soul Blazer, I finished the fire shrine and reached the part where I need to prove to some rafts that I'm from Greenwood or something. I think I've cleared everything I've encountered so far, so heading back to town should provide the solution.

In DKC2, I'm a few levels into Krem Quay.

A part of me really wants to see how Spore is, since I sometimes enjoy casual games and it seems like a bunch of casual games with some interesting editors thrown into the mix.

I beat the statue bosses and have moved on to Area 3. The first statue is really easy because all you have to do is stand attack while standing diagonally to him. I figured this out in three seconds. The second one often times just moves around you in a pattern, so you can mostly stand there with minimal dodging. The third one is kind of a pain in the ass. He's fast, shoots fire at you, and just generally hard to avoid. I was stuck here until I found the shield bracelet and better armor. I guess that when you're running low on health you need to de-equip the shield bracelet and equip the medicinal herb, unless there's a way to use the herb without having to run out of HP first.

This is turning out to be a really enjoyable game.

ADDITIONAL PROGRESS- I have now found two of the mermaid statues in Area 3. I found the Mermaid's Tear by pure luck. It seems to be related to the volcano I haven't been to yet. And now I've unlocked someone that says they can stop the volcano's magma rain. The action sequences are really fun, but I'm a little bit disappointed in the town restoration. It pretty much goes "You have restored a Mermaid." "You have restored a Mermaid." "You have restored a Mermaid." "You have restored a Mermaid." "You have restored a Mermaid." "You have restored an Angelfish." "You have restored a Mermaid.".

I even thought that Area 2, the forest animal town, was a bit of a step down in that area, but it was much more interesting than this.


ADDITIONAL PROGRESS 2- I've completed the volcano area and restored the third mermaid statue. I'm stopping here for today.

In Spore, I completed the first phase of the game, which as I mentioned, is not unlike fl0w for PSP/PS3, except with better visual design.

I'm pretty far into the second phase. It's hard to compare it to anything in particular, but I guess it has some MMORPG elements, even though it's single player. You have to either attack or impress different creatures to earn DNA points and evolution upgrades. You can also find the upgrades on skeletons that are randomly scattered about. My creature is an herbivore and doesn't fight except in self defense (and even then, very terribly). So it's a bit dull, but any time you get to tinker with your creature is enjoyable, and exploring has some appeal.

Third phase is somewhat RTS-like, and fourth is somewhat Civ-like, as I've heard. The final phase, outer space, would be the deepest and most enjoyable based on word of mouth.

I finished the third phase of Spore. It took a while to get used to, but after I did, it was pretty ridiculous in it's simplicity. It's a minimal RTS game with you and four or five other tribes. You can fight them or befriend them, but have to deal with all in one way or another. Even if a tribe hates you, all you have to do is bring them a gift of fruit... the primary and only resource to gather. This will make them indifferent if they hated you, and they'll like you a lot if they were already indifferent. Then you have to play music with them to get them to become full allies. The only way you can fail at that is if you don't have enough people playing enough of one kind of instrument. There's no consequence for failing.

Assuming I replay the game, I'll use a conquering species and will reserve judgement until that time. I've been told that I need to design some buildings and vehicles for the civilization phase, so I'll do that a little later.

So far, the editors are fun to play with, but the gameplay itself ranges from sub-par to terrible.

Civ stage seems like it might be hard. Too tired to mess with it any more for tonight.

In DKC2, I'm up to the Kremland levels. Didn't get to play any Soul Blazer because I had a lot to do.

I'm reading the novelization of The Force Unleashed. I have little doubt that it's more enjoyable than playing the game would be.
