Gaming Update Said to Knock You Out, So I'm Gonna Knock You Out

06/23/2009-

One game, and one game only, dominated ol' Sparky's play time this last week.  Pop it, lock it, and drop it.  It's update time.

• I received a copy of Tiger Woods 10 this weekend as a b-day gift from my numero uno homie, my brother.  I got the 360 version, which was by design so that we could compete against each other (read: so he can kick my ass royally).  It's just as crazy addictive as '09, and the new putting system is an absolutely fantastic change to the game.  This really feels like the most polished version of the game to date.  I'm a bit grumpy with EA for releasing courses so close to the release of the game that obviously could have been included, but there are plenty of great courses included on the disc, so it's a minor grievance.  And now I'm going to be a bit hypocritical, since I'd love to see EA release more DLC in the form of golfers, clothes, and courses.  I just don't want to feel like the stuff should have been included in the disc.
  
• My DS got some love this week, but only in fits.  I've been playing through New Super Mario Bros., which was a riot on its release and holds up extremely well.  I'm really stoked for the Wii version.  If it's a straight port of the DS version, I won't be buying it, but if they include new stages and enough new content to warrant its release, I'll be buying it on day one.

That's it for this week.  Short, I know, but now you have time for more exciting ventures in your life.  What could be more exciting than reading my blogs, you ask?  Well... uhhh, how about repeatedly banging your head against a hot stove or figuring out trigonometry problems while a rabid wolverine chews on your toes?  The world is your oyster!

And even though no one has yet to answer one of these damn things, here's your question of the day.  If you could take two games on vacation with you, what would you pick and why?
