  • KOTOR II

    KOTOR II

    Just one more go, I thought. Just to convince myself that it’s really really dull. Three hours later and I’m still at it. Gaaaaah – it has me hooked just as badly as first time around. I’m going to have to ration time very carefully,...

  • Knights of the Old Republic II (Xbox)

    Knights of the Old Republic II (Xbox)

    This one’s been sitting unopened on the shelf for ages and thought I’d give it a go. It’s fab – just as good as the first one, although I am being mildly irritated by the sluggishness of the inventory/journal/etc pages. Probably another post-RE4 hangup. It’s...

  • Final Fantasy VII (PSX)

    Final Fantasy VII (PSX)

    As it happens, I decided on Final Fantasy VII, in the end. I haven’t given this game anywhere near the time it deserves, so I’ve decided to take my time and trawl through the whole thing. It is looking a little dated, of course, but...

  • Ooooooh!

    Ooooooh!

    I’ve just remembered! I have sealed copies of Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX here….. ……and I’ve only played about the first hour of VII and none of the rest. Could this be that rainy day I’ve been putting off for ages?

    OddWorld: Strangers Wrath – and a blast from the past

    It may just be me, or that I’m particularly tired (I am – the kids had a disturbe night last night through illness) but this game is the most irritating and frustrating thing I’ve played in ages. It may, of course, just be fall out...

    Resident Evil 4: Complet0riz0red!!11!!one!!!china!!

    What an ending! The final boss is….. disturbing, but not nearly as disturbing as the closing titles are. Anyhoo, I appear to have unlocked two subgames, playing through bits of the game as characters who wander in and out of the story from time to...

  • Golden Sun (GBA)

    Golden Sun (GBA)

    This is my current mobile game. I’ve clocked an insane amount of hours on it in the past, but it’s so good that – inspired by the rich and luscious visuals provided by my DS, I’ve started again. (Ignore the Japanese visuals, above). It never...

  • Oddworld: Strangers Wrath (Xbox)

    Oddworld: Strangers Wrath (Xbox)

    This is my daytime game at the moment – playable when the kids are up and about without giving them the screaming habdabs. It seems to be that the blokes who do the oddworld series can do no wrong – consistently turning out beautiful, original,...

  • Dear Mr Krauser,

    Dear Mr Krauser,

    About that facially applied rocket launcher – I do feel very very bad about it but then you really did bring it upon yourself by being an incredibly annoying mutant-alien-thingy. I have to confess that the immense satisfaction caused by turning you into tomato puree...

  • Resident Evil 4: Why I Hate Krauser

    Resident Evil 4: Why I Hate Krauser

    Because he’s the most annoying person in the universe. He really is. I gave up in exasperation last night. I shall beat him, though. Oh yes. I shall.
