[12/11/2005]   Phew, just made it in time. The reason this column was almost late was that I really wanted to finish Magna Carta and stick my review in this update. Obviously I didn't make it, but I think I'm in or very near the final area. The reason I wanted to get it in this update is that I'm going out of town this week and probably won't return until the 21st. Sure I'll have my DS to keep me company, but I'd rather not haul my PS2 all over the United States again.

   Speaking of the DS, I recently picked one up for the holiday sale price along with Mario Kart DS. While it isn't an RPG, it's still a lot of fun and I'm up for a quick game or two before I leave. My friend code is: 339363 - 348904. Feel free to stop by #reviewhaven if you'd like to challenge me.

   Until next week...
