Monter Hunter Freedom 2 (PSP) is the reason why the PSP is the top selling console in Japan. Currently sales of the PSP outstrip both the DS and the Wii -- it's quite a remarkable feat!

Price Drop: Skate (Xbox 360) is now $39.99 at Gamestop

Skate (Xbox 360) is now available for $39.99 at Gamestop. . .This price drop is not reflected at other retailers, so this appears to be the only place to go for this deal. Also, they do not have a listing for the PS3 version, so this one is limited to the Xbox crowd.

I picked this game up at launch and found it to be a hell of a lot better than the Tony Hawk series. . .GET IT.

Salt Island Voyage: RESULT

Sallt Island Voyage: RESULT, originally uploaded by grandreaganx.

What a wonderful day for sailing! The wind was strong and steady, the waves were high and the sun was warm. At times the waves and wind concerned me, but I'm impressed with how well my little boat handles it all. Navigating under those conditions is tough, as handling the rudder and holding the sheet while selecting waypoints on the GPS is no small feat.

I fell quite short of my goal to make landfall on Salt Island, but that just leaves me with a goal for next time. :) I ended up turning back, because heading into the wind and against the tide made for an arduous journey. Perhaps if I had some company I would have a greater appetite for these long trips.

Why do my boys always drop off the crew roster at the last minute??

Mario Lunchbox w/random DS Lite Accessories $11.99 at Amazon

A Mario Lunch box packed with DS Lite accessories is the Videogame Deal of The Day at Amazon this Sunday. My boy finished New Super Mario Bros for the DS, not once, but across three different saves this weekend. What a fitting prize! For $12, you'll get:

• A spiffy Mario lunch box (must have)
• Flat system wrap(??)
• headphones
• car adapter (could be useful)
• 2 silicone game cases
• 2 screen protectors
• Collectible pen

OK, so its mostly junk, but the lunch box and the car adapter are well worth the deal price.

GET IT!
