Out of sheer boredom, we dusted off our Nintendo 64 and popped in South Park. It's not as fun as we remember it ... and we really didn't remember it being that fun in the first place. Still, as far as licensed products go, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Check out the highlights for today:

I liked South Park Rally more than the FPS South Park game. Certainly no Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing, but for a laugh it was pretty fun.

I just remember being mauled by turkeys while waiting 5 secs to wee in the snow.
South Park is great. I just wish they had made a Team America Game, that would have been a laugh.

I've got Strikers: Charged to tide me over until Super Metroid VC
Sure its online without the bells and whistles, but its still fun as hell, and i rarely meet anyone that completely steamrolls me (and its never a total wipeout even then, the really good ones still rarely get more than 3/4 goals on me)
