Ghosthunter (PS2)

Picked this up for 7 quid in Woolies. It’s surprisingly good – it uses a novel joint third person and over the shoulder aiming view – exactly the same as the new Resident Evil game. Except, of course, Ghosthunter was released a year or two ago. The graphics are blindingly good – indicating that the

BBC NEWS | Politics | Blair defends house arrest plan

Well there we have it. That lovely Mr Blair would like to follow in the footsteps of Apartheid by giving law enforcement officials the power to effectively imprison and silence anyone the state considers to be a supporter of “terrorism”. Without trial, without being required to provide any evidence whatsoever. Does posting this blog entry

Third Age – it cheats

On hard mode, I’m sure the AI cheats in Helm’s Deep. Three times now, with the same line up of characters, the Uruk-Hai just get as many goes as they like until two of my chars are KO’d and the last one is below 500 Hit Points. At that stage, it’s the uck of the

Everyone thinks it’s great. It really really REALLY annoys me. It gets me tense, irritable and aggravated. So it went back on

Star Fox Adventures (Gamecube)

Gaaaaah. Helm’s flaming Deep

It’s not often I get in a temper tantrum through frustration, but Third Age has done it. I’m playing it on hard mode because anything less than that is just stupidly non challenging. Up till now, it’s all been going swimmingly except the developers have obviously decided it’s not hard enough. Solution? Improving the enemy

A ramble!

There haven’t been many rambles on here of late – it’s really just been the game diary that’s been getting postings. Anyhoo, I’m here now. First off, homeAudit has been doing very well of late – it seems to have attracted a fairly large audience. Just as well, really, because I’ve been spending a lot
