Legally Bland

The productive pace around the Coker residence has slowed to a crawl lately with a new game system in the house (or hiz-ouse if you like). Much to my dismay/delight Zelda has been eating every spare moment I’ve had in the last week. As almost every review on the web and in print states, the game is a masterpiece. I can’t be much more than a quarter of the way through and it’s already the best thing I’ve played in recent memory.

The game play is classic Zelda fare but with many new elements added, so it feels like another logical step forward for the franchise. I’m never disappointed with a Zelda console title, but this one is stellar even among other Zelda games. The story, environments, character design, music, it all comes together so seamlessly that it’s impossible to avoid getting wrapped up in this world. I’m already a little bit sad with the thought of finishing the game, but luckily for me, that probably won’t happen for quite some time.

So please excuse my lack of bloggyness in the coming weeks. I’m trying to cram as much selfishness as I can into the days preceding our son’s birth. As soon as “Branden Lite” arrives I’ll have to put down the shiny white remote for a bit. I promise to not to forget you guys in the interim.
