This list is much longer than I intended, but I do play a lot of games. I was supposed to have one list for everything that happened this year, music movies, games, websites, and so on. I have to do the other things later, though, so here's the long games list. Let me know what you think of my picks, the full list is after the jump. Downloadable Game of the Year Band of Bugs (XBLA) Band of Bugs is still my top-played Xbox Live Arcade game. I have really enjoyed Fire Emblem in the past, but it is a pretty heavy game. Band of Bugs is the perfect casual turn-based tactical game. It's colourful and has wonderful variety, a great selection of multiplayer modes and a stellar level designer. Band of Bugs was also the first game to fully utilize the Gamescore policy and add an extra three Achievements with downloadable campaigns, which were also great. Honourable Mention Carcassone (XBLA), Super Metroid (VC) Carcassone is the perfect port of a board game to a video game. Super Metroid finally getting re-released was also a great gaming experience for me, as now my Metroid collection is complete.

Firstly, I should state the obvious. My plans to navigate dotKenneth.com to a real hosting service are not going as quickly as planned. I'm going to work on it this weekend. Seriously.

I suppose I could go into details on my sudden obsession with Facebook. While I've been a member for a little while now, I've only become truly active within the past few weeks. Popularity of the site at my school is growing quickly, since the beginning of April we must have gained at least fifty ...

I picked up Mega Man ZX and a sweet new DS Lite in Onyx yesterday. I almost didn't buy it since I have a DS already, but I'm glad I did. It is a lot easier to hold for long periods of time as there are no side bits jabbing in to your palms. It also looks great and makes the games look great. I've had a bit of a gaming lull recently, but this is sure to change things. If you don't have a DS or have one but play it a lot, I definitely recommend getting a Lite. More photos here.
