Lost in casual bliss...

Summer is hitting Sweden pretty hard... Devastatingly hard some would say. And it just feels wrong to turn on the heat producing Xbox 360 as you're sweating like a pig. Handheld gaming is where it's at when it's hot, and I've been catching up on some iPhone titles lately. From the kick fix of Canabalt, to the bit sized Civilization Revolution, and the absurdly addictive Bejeweled 2. As of late I've spent hours each day trying to best my scores in Blitz and Action, the game modes I enjoy most. I loose track of time playing, and I may have to delete the game from my iPhone soon - it's that addictive.

Meanwhile, my girlfriend has taken control of my Nintendo DS. I foolishly introduced her to Rhythm Paradise (US: Rhythm Heaven), and ever since she has been tapping along the weird tunes of Nintendo's lovely little music title. She's actually obsessing to the degree that she is hunting for "perfect" medals in the various mini games. It's funny to hear her laugh one second and curse the next - perfectly summing up the Rhythm Paradise experience. Entertaining and demanding.

But it's time to get back to what I usually play, and I've just started what has been described as the sleeper hit of the summer - Singularity, and then it's on to the indie delights of Limbo.
