Warcraft III (PC)

Ok, so a friend at work has been waxing lyrical about all the ingame lore and history in World of Warcraft which ties into the Warcraft III RTS scenarios. Except I’ve never played them, and I’m feeling all left out. So, off to game for a rummage in the bargain bin where I managed to

More delays

According to Adelaide Skilled Processing Center, we have another 6 or 7 weeks before a case officer is allocated. Guh. That’s a while. Absolutely nothing we can do about it, though. Here’s hope they don’t move the goalposts again within that time.

Crates and Boxes

We’re still in the throes of attempting to clear out some of the rubbish we have. As part of the process, I’ve ordered a pile of really useful boxes from, er, reallyusefulboxes.com . As you might expect, they’re boxes and they’re really useful. Ordered a few dirty great big ones for the copious quantities of

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (DS)

I’m a sucker for Resident Evil. We’ve already established that, more than once. So it’s only right that I should wax lyrical and enthuse A LOT about a handheld version. Deadly Silence has two modes. The first is a straight port of the PS1 version (i.e. the original) and the second, Deadly Silence, is a

Battalion Wars (GameCube)

It’s ACE! It’s mental madness though. Imagine a real time strategy game. Then imagine it as a direct-control third person shooter. With vehicles. Then make it all cartoony. That’s pretty much Battalion Wars. I’ve only done the first few missions so far, but my fingers are nearly bleeding with frenzied button pressing. Graphically, the game

Animal Crossing Wild World (DS)

Bah! 109 bells for white turnips. That’s RUBBISH! I’m beginning to think Nook and Joan are in cahoots :-/ Did some low-scale deforestation this morning, and replaced a load of the deciduous trees with nice fruit trees. And my palm has grown successfully. I must resist the temptation to sell the coconuts, though, cos I

Advance Wars DS – Nintendo DS

Another of those ‘I really should give this a go’ games. Only done the first five (largely tutorial) missions. Just really saying I’ve started, is all. It’s a strange thing about this series. When I actually play advance wars, I love it to death. It just seems really hard to get around to actually picking

Resident Evil – GameCube

Ok, ok, so it’s been out for three years, but it’s one of those ‘I really should play this at some point’ games. I bought it on release date and it was replaced by our insurance (after the house fire) two years ago and, well, it’s still in the shrink wrap. First: It’s gorgeous. Dear

Piracy is a Crime

It is, you know. I know this. I know this for a fact. How do I know it? Well, let me explain. You see, I bought the DVD of King Kong from Tesco last night. Unfortunately, before I can watch it, I have to sit through a three minute UNSKIPPABLE ‘Piracy Is A Crime’ FUD-commercial.
