Resident Evil 4 (GameCube)

There we are again – another couple of hours spent shotting ‘orrible things (which have a nasty habit of changing into other ‘orrible things).

Medal of Honour – Frontline (Xbox) (wot again??)

Well, yes! Cos I’m really enjoying it now! Did two levels last night – about 90 minutes worth. First off, scampering through an SS infested mansion trying to free a prisoner, and then removing demolitions charges from a bridge covered in snipers. Loadsa fun. The difficulty is starting to pick up a little now, and
