That's right. I went from God of War to Pokemon Diamond (DS).

My wife & I pre-ordered both Diamond and Pearl, and she's playing Pearl. We both really love the games, though she won't admit it. But the amount of stuff to do in this game is exhausting -- just amazing, really. These are our first Pokemon RPGs, though our sons have been playing Emerald and Mystery Dungeon for the GBA for quite some time. I must say, I'm quickly becoming a Pokefan. Good stuff.

I am still, however, playing God of War -- strange mix, I know. But it, too, is a great game, and though reviewers gushed a little more than what was deserving for the game, it still is well deserving of the ratings it received. Though it takes elements from several other great games, it blends those elements with a story and production that are polished to a glimmering shine.

I'll try to do reviews for both games soon, so keep you're eyes peeled if you're curious about either.
