Alright, I forked over another $45 to take up another 15 hours of my time per week by purchasing "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003" and have been glued to my Dell for the past two weeks. Talk about addictive. Wow.

The environments in the game are as close to realistic as you can imagine. The waves crash on the shores of Pebble Beach. Trees wave in 25mph winds as mist rolls across the fairway. The surfaces are so life-like, you can feel how the ball lands on the playing surface. Once you get past the beauty of the product, the addictive nature of climbing the professional tour ladder comes into play, earning money from tournaments and adding skills to your game and before you realize it… it’s 3am and your eyes are glued to the flag 300 yards off in the virtual distance.

I originally purchased this to offset the violence of Medal of Honor, as I’d play MOH for a few hours and my brain would spaz out for an hour before I could go to bed. Now I don’t dream of killing Nazis, I just fall asleep to Tiger pumping his damn fist.

Punk.
