I’m not a typical gamer. By that, I mean, I do not play every crappy game that’s put out on the market solely because I feel the need to play different games. I am, however, very elitist when it comes to my gaming. I’ve played a handful of games in my 20+ years, mostly the “greats”: Doom, X-Com: UFO Enemy Unknown, Dune II, Starcraft, Warcrafts, Quake 1 and Quake 3, GTA 3 and GTA:SA, and the Halo Trilogy (I plan to play the final one when it’s released). That’s about it. I don’t have time for second rate games by second rate companies.

With that said, I have just spent about $5000 on my living room solely for the purpose of my entertainment:

• Xbox 360 Premium with HDMI
• 42″ LCD Sharp Aquos widescreen TV
• Leather reclining sofa
• A 1 and a 1/2-sized reclining chair (dubbed “The Cuddler”)

And the game I’ve found myself most playing is Ms. Pac-Man from the Xbox Live Arcade.

On an unrelated note, my girlfriend noted that Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man had a kid. “Shameful,” she says. She prefers Bejeweled 2.
