  • Aaaaaargh!

    Aaaaaargh!

    There’s just too many! This is silly. There are 185 (that’s one hundred and eighty five) games on my shelves, for various platforms, and I’ve only completed a dozen or so. Doesn’t represent very good value for money really. I stuck em all into Delicious...

    Psi-Ops (Xbox) / Sudeki (Xbox)

    Well, last night I had a wee bit of a talc outburst cos I kept on getting gubbed and then, even though I passed through a room with a checkpoint I didn’t actually go to where the checkpoint was to trigger it so when I...

  • Change of plan

    Change of plan

    Right – we have to watch the pennies at the moment, so we’ve decided to buy no more games (although there will obviously be the odd exception – the new Zelda, and so on). So, to keep my gaming habit satisfied I’m gonna rent them...

    Psi-Ops (Xbox)

    Ok, so after wandering around for AGES looking for a vent I can climb into, I’ve moved on to the next area. Very linear so far, but still a huge amount of fun. I am a little worried that the whole thing is going to...

    Psi-Ops (Xbox)

    I can just tell this is a game I’m going to finish and play again on a harder difficulty. It’s slightly reminiscent of RE4 inasmuch as the game mechanic is loads of fun. I have now add mind-drain to my arsenal, alongside telekinesis and far...

    The more absorbent among you will be able to hold much more fluid than the rest of us. The more observant among you will perhaps have noticed that a “Completed Games” (‘completed’ is a deliberate misspelling of ‘complet0r4t0red’) has materialised down the right hand side...

    Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy (Xbox)

    This is one of those titles which I almost missed. I had a huge amount of fun playing around with the various psychic powers in a demo that was cover mounted on one of the drivel filled Xbox mags but, for some reason, I never...

  • Halo 2 (Xbox)

    Halo 2 (Xbox)

    Hm. Well, there’s been a bit of talk on UGVX.com recently about starting a Halo 2 league for crap players. Faling squarely into the crap player camp, I reckoned it might be a good idea to at least finish the single player campaign first. So,...

    Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (GC)

    My gaming ennui appears to be lifting! I dusted LoTR off again last night. Long term nelefans will, of course, remember that I got stuck at that part of Helm’s Deep where you get attacked by a neverending stream of trolls with nary a save...

    …..and waiting…..

    Guhhh – it turns out the Migration Agency hasn’t actually sent the ACS application off yet! I know, I know, they’ve had it for three weeks Anyway, one of my references needed dating so I had to get that done again and then resent. I’m...
