Resident Evil 4 – Gamecube

The Village Leader – the boss to end all bosses? Good grief – what an outstanding bit of creature design that was! And I have to say, I never thought I’d find myself in such an intense fire fight in a resident evil game! Sadly, it was over all too quickly, because I know something

Resident Evil 4 (GameCube)

Gaaaaah! I’m on a lift and people keep lobbing sickles at me! Stoppit! One of the most worrying traits of this game is the way that you occasionally come across a scrap of paper detailing a hideous and scary ambush that’s been laid for you and you *have* to go that way. It does give

Harvest Moon – Friends of Mineral Town (GBA)

This one has been getting quite a bit of play recently, due to the sheer loveliness of the Nintendo DS’s screens. Having a proper backlight, rather than the frontlight of the SPs, is just lovely. Only downside is that my right hand (on the buttons) gets a little cramped after extended play on the DS.

Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)

No – it was the RIGHT choice. Gubbing the dirty great stompy thing is hard enough without thon silly girl dashing around getting herself killed. I thought I may be able to leg it past the thing, but it just takes too long to shoot the chains off the door. I think I’ll take my

Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)

That was an exciting hour! A phenomenal pitched gun battle in a cottage, with some unexpected help. Was beaten upstairs and fought the nasty blighters off with incendiary grenades, but we won in the end. Only to be faced with a tough choice. Lots of small nasties or one big nasty. Still smarting from my

Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Xbox)

This is another one of those cracking titles that was buried under an avalanche of sub-standard sports titles and rehashed FPSen on release day. I’ve been going back to this game for years now – it’s a return to Rare’s roots. It plays not entirely unlike a combination of robotron and Atic Atac with some

Resident Evil 4: Gamecube

Mohh – finally managed to rescue the goil, although I have to say that ferrying the useless beggar around the place is a little tiresome. Having said that, I only actually played alongside the girl for a few minutes, so I’ll reserve judgement for now.

Stupid Stuff On Things You Buy

Plenitude Action Liposomes. Nutrigrain. Ambi-pur Liquifresh. Excuse me? It’s the new black! Somewhere, some advertising nob-end decided “Hey, I know! Let’s advertise all our products by making up new words! We could just chop up bits of existing words and stick em together to make new ones!” So, I have a quest – I’m sitting

Sorry folks

I haven’t done a single bit of remake coding for ages – just got too many other things to do. This doesn’t mean that Dynamite Dan and Wizards Lair are off, by any means – they’re not. They’re just two of the many things I have bubbling away on the stove right now. So where
