I was not able to pull any extra cardiovascular exercises as I was pretty fatigued after the 1 hour and 5 mins jog. As such, I hope to pull another light cardiovascular exercise session tomorrow at home after the new stationary exercise bike arrived that was purchased by my dad not long ago.

Quite awhile ago, I completed this game called Wanted: Weapons of Fate. This was a very short game as it took me about 3-4 casual sessions to finish the entire game.

The controls were pretty intuitive and was one of the better games with movies tie-in.

Here are some screenshots of the game abovementioned:

1. Menu screen of the game
