The World of Smarty Gami (PS2/PC/Wii/DS)
Posted on January 28, 2008 | No CommentsAhem – anyway, multiple entries today. But not really in the order they were played. First off, a bit of “The Thing” on the PS2, which I used to own on the xbox and never got round to playing. It seems ok – some nice... -
Hoshigami Remix (Cover)
Posted on January 25, 2008 | No CommentsThis was a bit of a surprise! I haven’t posted anything on it yet because I’m “only” six hours in and I’m still waiting for all the bad things the review sites moaned about to kick in. Which they haven’t. At all. Thing is, gamespot,... -
Super Paper Mario (Wii)
Posted on November 21, 2007 | 1 CommentZOMG! I actually played a game! AMAZING SCENES ((C) 2007 DeKay). And it only took about 30 seconds of play to remember just how awesome Super Paper Mario is. I was climbing up the inside of a tree and getting up to all kinds of... -
Umm…
Posted on November 20, 2007 | No CommentsRight, so I was playing Breath of Fire and really enjoying it. I was also playing Paper Mario and really enjoying that. And Phantom Hourglass. And Super Paper Mario. And Sin and Punishment. And Endless Ocean. And then I stopped. And I don’t know why.... -
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS)
Posted on October 28, 2007 | 1 CommentIt was a foregone conclusion that the only thing to break my post-Zelda ennui would be another Zelda game. And this one is pure Zelda but in your pocket. By that, I mean it’s a modern, 3D Zelda, rather than a top down Zelda. Not... -
Breath of Fire II (Wii Virtual Console)
Posted on October 19, 2007 | 1 CommentWhenever anyone mentions RPGs (Japanese style, rather than, say, Neverwinter Knights) conversation rapidly moves to Final Fantasy. As a result there’s little or no talk about the other awesome RPG franchises on the SNES. Foremost of these is the Breath of Fire series. This goes... -
Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess COMPLET0R1S0red
Posted on October 14, 2007 | No CommentsIt is complete – at a little over 50 hours, and I reckon there’s 2-3 hours of optional stuff and at least 10 hours of fishing quests still in there. The ending was as epic as games get, really, with lovely protracted titles showing events... -
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
Posted on October 14, 2007 | No CommentsIt’s unprecedented! OK, so I’ve just defeated what turns out to be the penultimate boss and it used irritating and unnecessary gaming cliche #1: The SuckySuck(tm). But hang on a minute – it was easily the best, funniest, and most entertaining boss battle in the... -
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Posted on October 13, 2007 | No CommentsWell, I have to say that the Sky City is the most annoying Zelda dungeon I’ve ever done. Thankfully, though, it was pretty short and was saved by having a fun (if a bit easy) boss at the end. So, now I’m through the mirror... -
Legend of Zelda – Twilight Princess
Posted on October 10, 2007 | No CommentsI think I’m on final approach now. After a mad scurry about the landscape finding random stuff, I arranged to have myself shot into the sky from a giant cannon and ended up in the Sky City / Castle / Whatever. In this place, I...
