I\u2019m playing games with my eight year-old daughter and having fun.  Nothing really appeals to my adult tastes, but so far my weekends are spent playing Open Season and Legos Star Wars II.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Most disappointing release \u2013 This is an easy category.  Out of the Park Baseball 2006.  Hands down.  No challengers.  So much potential was ruined by a company that does not understand the target market.  Hopefully the patch in 2007 will fix a number of lingering issues.  When will you know it\u2019s time to invest in OOTP 2007?  When there are online leagues switching to it in much larger numbers than are playing OOTP 2006.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Game I purchased I wish I had time to play \u2013 Civilization IV.  I actually purchased a collector\u2019s edition and pre-ordered it.  It\u2019s still on my computer (I think) but haven\u2019t gone past the tutorials.  Sad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Game that keeps on giving \u2013 World of Warcraft.  Easily the greatest game ever made in my book.  As I continue down the road to more end game content, it just keeps getting better and better.  And just when you think things couldn\u2019t improve any more, the latest patch adds more fun to the mix.  World worker productivity will probably suffer greatly on January 16<sup>th<\/sup> when The Burning Crusade is released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Things gaming related that surprised me this year (non gaming moment related) \u2013 I did not visit Gamespot once this year.  Didn\u2019t read a single review posted on a gaming web site.  And I \u201cdiscovered\u201d that the PlayStation2 has quite a collection of family friendly games.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s my 2006 video game review.
