  • Golden Sun (GBA)

    Golden Sun (GBA)

      This was the second game I bought for my first Gameboy Advance, several years ago. I remember thinking at the time that it was a pretty vast game to be stuffed onto a tiny little cartridge. In the end, I clocked well over a...

  • Riviera – The Promised Land (GBA)

    Riviera – The Promised Land (GBA)

    This is an odd game! For starters, it didn’t cost me anything, and that can’t possibly be bad! It’s a turn based RPG (just what I like) but, well, odd. Rather than freely wandering around world map and dungeons, your characters wander into static screens...

    Evil EVIL stage 2 complet0red. I hate the obligatory underwater bits in Sonic games. Zone 3 is completely fiendish, but at least there’s air

    Sonic Rush (Nintendo DS)

    Aaaaaargh! My eyes are bleeding! I’ve just completed the first two zones and first boss and Rush is blisteringly fast. It has the old sonic thing of ‘I’ve got through this level by just holding down left – I must be missing something.’ And, of...
