Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker – COMPLETED
I will admit to not being the video game nut that I used to be, but it is still good to know that I can finish off a Zelda game. I got Wind Waker when I picked up my Gamecube back at the beginning of December. I intially played it for about 11 hours the first weekend, but after that things died down. I used sometime last weekend to get much of the tedious stuff out of the way and almost beat it then, however I died at Ganon and got quite frustrated. That leads into today when I decided that it was time for me to finish what I had started so I could move onto Metroid Prime. So instead of watching the first half of the Atlanta/Philly game, I turned the Cube on and finally finished Ganon off.
Looking back, the game was one of the best I have ever played, I wasn't sure about the cartoon graphics at first, but they were perfect for this game. I have played few games that have looked this pretty and also had the perfect controls that this game has. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that there is a second quest that I can play. I now have to decide, start the second quest or start Metroid. I think Metroid will win as my favorite game of all time is Super Metroid for the SNES and I have been forcing myself to wait until Zelda was done to start it. I have also come to the conclusion that as long as Nintendo keeps putting out Zelda games of this quality, they will have a fan base that will buy their products. I will pick up the next gen Nintendo console if they make a Zelda game for it, there is no question about it. I will let you all know when Metroid finishes up and the second quest for Zelda begins.

The Futureheads – The Futureheads (2004)
The Futureheads have an interesting sound. You can almost instantly hear their 80's New Wave influence but after listening to the album a couple of times through, you start to hear the more modern sounds throughout that make this such a good album. There are influences from indie and garage rock mixed in with the New Wave sound, making this a unique, but well done album. I am anxious to see what their next album will sound like and this left me wanting for more.

The Cure – The Head in The Door (1985)
I used to mock people who listened to The Cure, thinking they were depressed all the time and were somewhat anti-social. After listening to this album, I don't think this music had anything to do with the people who were anti-social, those people were that way anyways. This album has a wide variety of sound to it and while a couple of the more popular songs can sound depressing, overall this album is upbeat and well produced. If you are a fan of 80s music, you most likely have this album already, however if you don't own it, you owe it to yourself to pick it up.
