  • Paper Mario (Wii Virtual Console)

    Paper Mario (Wii Virtual Console)

    There are so many awesome games on the Wii, DS and VC at the moment, that it’s getting kinda difficult to decide what to play sometimes. Anyhoo, Paper Mario won through tonight and I’ve romped through Dry Dry Ruins and officially ended the chapter. So,...

    Excite Truck (Wii)

    Woohooooo! That’s a noise I say a lot recently. Excite Truck is just a thing of beauty. And it’s very simple. Basically, you have a truck. And it goes very very fast. And you do stupidly high/far/fast jumps. And stunts. And crashes. And stuff. And...

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (No Spoilers)

    Well, that’s that then! It has been a wonderful journey since 1997, with each subsequent release generating more excitement than the last, but it’s over now. Everything is tied up and explained. There’s room for, if not a sequel, a continuation. Let’s face it, with...

  • Outlaw (2007)

    Outlaw (2007)

    I think I must be getting old. This is a bleak, humourless and generally unpleasant movie with no redeeming features whatsoever. Which surprised me a lot, given the fantastic cast. Essentially, it’s the story of a group of harrassed, bullied and generally timid guys who...

    Gun (360)

    This game is so bad I can’t even be bothered downloading the box art for this post. The 18 certificate should have told me all I needed to know, but I wasn’t prepared for the unpleasant, infantile and ugly morass awaiting me. I have better...

    Paper Mario (Wii Virtual Console)

    Chapter Two. I’m currently rummaging about on the top of a mountain to get to dry dry desert and it’s inhabited by loads of orrible little things. They disguise themselves as pebbles and leap out at you when you don’t expect it. Trouble is, although...

    BBC NEWS – Man jailed over terror blueprints

    OH NOS! ZOMG! He will blow up the airy-o-plane using a DRAWING OF A BOMB! And what’s a “TERROR BLUEPRINT” anyway? Is it a piece of paper with a REALLY SCARY FACE drawn on it? EDIT: RedSmartie (the real one, not the fake Canadian loser)...

    Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess (Wii)

    I forgot how little of this I’d actually played. Really just the short introductory dungeon. Anyhoo, I had a short go today and managed to EVENTUALLY get into the Goron city and beat the Goron Leader at sumo wrestling. I had a quick peak at...
