The Third Age (GC) and Puzzle Quest (DS)
I’ve really not been playing very much recently – I just don’t seem to have the time these days. I haev, though, had a brief session on The Third Age, which I never did complete. I seem to remember I got as far as a stupid frustrating bit with loads of cave trolls before giving up in disgust. Anyway, I’ve started again from the beginning and I have to say I’d forgotten just how pretty this game is. It’s a standard Final Fantasy-like RPG with turn based combat, but with a fairly linear storyline. All in all, though, it’s a bit of lightweight fun. So, I have a Gondorian Warrior and an Elfy ranger person and we’re running about in the woods killing orcs and hairy woodsmen. Which is ace. And there are no crate puzzles (that I’m aware of) so I can relax.
This little puppy, though, is where what little gametime I’ve been snatching is being spent. It’s bejewelled, with spells, and level ups and maps and castles and gaaaaaaaaah. It’s just ace, addictive, colourful and bloody difficult. It’s driving me nuts, but it’s such a lovely lovely game that I really don’t mind.
