A Historic Sunday...

Here's the quick rundown of my Sunday. Church, lunch, PBA on ESPN, put in a movie, helped my brother out with youth group, then TV. Sounds relatively normal, huh? Nothing historic there...or wait...what's that...yes, I guess I did leave something out. I played video games before watching TV. And not just any video game, I played Resident Evil 4...and I beat it!!! That's right, clocking in at just under 18 1/2 hours of gameplay, I won (70% accuracy, 917 kills, and 46 deaths). It was soundly the greatest single-player video game ever. After 18.5 hours, there really was not a dull moment, I was never bored...in fact, I was often on the edge of my seat (literally). Keep in mind, this does not mean I am forever finished with the game. After beating it for the first time, you unlock 3 mini/side games. In addition, I can replay the regular game with the same character (ie. with all of my cool guns and increased health). I predict that RE4 will give me numerous more hours of fun and enjoyment. I might have to loan it to my brother though (so he too can experience the awesomeness that is RE4). Short of sport games (Madden and March Madness), I have never played a single player game for that many hours. Now if you throw multi-player in the mix, then Star Wars Battlefront I & II, TimeSplitters 3, and Killzone are right up there in number of hours played.

In short, I beat RE4 and was very excited about it. I look forward to playing the new side-games and replaying the main game with better weaponary to start. Video games rule!!!
