What I Played Today: August 26

Dominion, DJ Hero, Plants vs. Zombies

I’ve been playing Plants vs. Zombies again, trying to get to the end so that I can play actually play the bonus stages, damn it. I don’t understand why I can’t go and play the stages I’ve past already. Anyway, I’m on the roof, which I understand is the last stage, but man is it a doozy. The majority of your plants are useless unless they are extremely exposed, and all placement needs to be superseded with planting a pot as well, so it’s just a more expensive game. Luckily, I have double sunflowers, so that handles the cost, but I’m having a hard time refreshing anything fast enough if I’m in trouble. I also really, really don’t know what to do with the superzombie and his little goddamn Renfeld. He’s slow, sure, but not slow enough for me to even make a dent in him when he shows up. Bah.

Another game of Dominion, this one went a lot better, mainly because of the baron (Baron’s a pimp) and buying way too many victory cards. That seemed to be the way to go, although I had a hard time finishing the game, because my deck was so clogged. Plus, possession, so that’s nice.

I also got DJ Hero for $20 ($20!), and I like it a lot so far. The rhythm element is a bit simple, with only three buttons, but the need to scratch and adjust a slider varies it, and the mixes are really nice to listen to, especially when you see the correlation to what you’re asked to do and what happens. It’s well worth the price I paid for it.
