  • Metroid Prime Trilogy

    Metroid Prime (Wii)

    Still plugging away at Prime. The game should have had these controls since the very beginning. I’ve only just ganked the boss guarding the morphball bomb (the sentry thing that shoots flames at the war wasp nest) and I took it down in a fraction...

  • Final Fantasy (iPhone)

    Final Fantasy (iPhone)

    This is the fourth platform I’ve played FF1 on – others being SNES, PS1 and GBA. I have to say, the iPhone version is easily the best. It seems to be a straight port of the very pretty PSP version but with the added advantage...

  • Paper Mario (Wii VC)

    Paper Mario (Wii VC)

    OK, so I sneaked a wee go while Tristan was playing Team Fortress 2. So, having woken up in a Goomba hut, I proceeded to go looking for Grampa Goomba, fell off a building, found a hammer in a bush, thumped some blocks, thumped more...

  • Paper Mario (Wii VC)

    Paper Mario (Wii VC)

    So I’m attempting to finish some games that kinda fell by the wayside after The Great Falling Out Of ’09, and Paper Mario came top of the list. One thing I discovered along the way is that Wii Virtual Console purchases aren’t tied to your...

  • Star Trek Online

    Star Trek Online

    Ok, so after spending a while playing World Of Walkcraft and watching it effectively kill the MMO, I was surprised at my interest being rekindled by the introduction of an MMO based in the Star Trek universe. So I gave it a go. I’ve only...

  • Dragon Age: Origins (PC)

    Dragon Age: Origins (PC)

    Ok, so it’s been a while since I’ve done any kind of game diary post but that’s largely because I haven’t been playing anything except Left4Dead and Counterstrike and I don’t think any of you really want to read a post that just says ‘BOOM!...

  • Phantasy Star Universe (360)

    Phantasy Star Universe (360)

    Hasn’t been much point in updating my Game Diary of late as I’ve not really been playing very many games, with the exception of PSU. I’m a long-standing fan of the Phantasy Star series and managed to run up a bit of a monster phone...

  • Half-Life 2 – Complet0r4t0r1z0red

    Half-Life 2 – Complet0r4t0r1z0red

    Well, it’s been out a good couple of years now, but I’ve finally finished Half-Life 2 – and it was completely awesome, if incomprehensible. I still have no idea what any of it was about, but I had a lot of fun not knowing. High...

  • Warhammer: Age of Reckoning

    Warhammer: Age of Reckoning

    God, I love this game. My main character (on Karak Izor, if anyone’s interested) is a Black Orc called Barukadur (I think the spelling is correct). He behaves the way a Black Orc should and basically thumps anything that gets in the way and is...
