Battlefront / Republic Commando

I’ve had a bit of a gaming slump of late – must be the change of weather or something. I managed about forty-five minutes of Republic Commando last night, and about ten minutes of Battlefront (spurred on by RedSmartie popping up on iChat and demanding that I play the Kashyyk beachhead level). I really like

Stand up and be counted

Not much time left – the government are getting ready to steamroller the ID card bill through parliament. That means that each and every one of us will be made to go to a police station to be fingerprinted and possibly retina scanned so that our every movement, purchase and library borrow will eventually be

Moving

This is a bit of a strange entry because I can’t actually publish it yet. Or at least, we can’t mention our names. Thing is, we’re planning to move to Australia, but as yet it’s a closely guarded secret for a number of reasons. A lot of people are likely to be upset by the

Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)

Cloudy place: DEFEATED. Palace of Wind: ENTERED. I’ve noticed that the whole Big-then-Wee Minish Thingy has all but vanished from the game. I think the last time I shrank was about two dungeons ago. Anyhoo, that’s the whole world map (as far as I can tell) filled in, which means I must be on the

Sadly, big spiky thing killed me just after spending AGES negotiating a particularly tricky slippy

Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)

As I was saying…… The strange thing about Zelda games is how they all, regardless of which title it is, manage to get me totally drawn into them. It’s just happened in the Wind Fortress when the plot has suddenly (as happens in Zelda games) gone veering off at a tangent. The appearance of a

Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)

BOW GET! I’m not officially in the Fortress of Wind, after much squelching about in a muddy bog of doom. Found a novel way to gubb some Big Iron Blokes by miniaturising myself and then, well, popping inside and switching them off. Fab. So, this evening’s bounties consisted of: One pair of boots of incredible
