Arkham Horror and more

The Wii is good, but it lacks enough good games. Still I feel in better shape every time I play dance dance revolution and my arms are stretching out from playing Godzilla.

The craze of the moment for both myself and my wife though is Arkham Horror. A lovecraft horror board game that has more role-playing elements than most "role-playing" games these days. If you've got a small group of friends who like role-playing games or board games then I seriously recommend this one as a great cooperative game.


Anima Tactics continues being a very fun game to play when we can. The continuing sculpts are unbelievable and we've added a diorama shelf to our house to proudly display both my wife's and my own painted figures. My wife has settled on playing light forces because she likes so many of the figures and can't be made to pick just one organization. Her most recent finished model is the painted asian princess in the picture. I expect we'll continue playing this game for a long time.

LotRO playing has all but ceased but they're recently announced Mines of Moria expansion will likely get us back into the game right away. Maybe with a new high level playing zone we'll play some more again as well whenever they release the next book. My only current wish right now is to find the play time around my children to get my Captain up to at least level 25.

I'm also hoping to finish up the last few figures on my shard force for VOR and then retire them to a box somewhere for safe keeping. The last razorback growler is being worked on as well, though I expect some more Firegut growlers in the future. Rest assured I can't resist showing off pictures of painted minis.

Until then keep on playing and leave a few comments in my blog if you're enjoying any of the same games I am.
