Gah! It’s getting hard now! I’m on the last day of the trial and the witness I’m questioning is…… unhelpful. The overall difficulty has taken a hike as well – evidence is a lot less direct now (for example, using an item in one state as evidence about an item in a different state –

Object0ration! Guhh. Day two of the trial of The Steel Samurai is over and it’s back to investigation. It turns out that the prosecution’s shock-h0rr0r witness was more of a help than a hinderance and I’ve all but cleared the Samurai’s name. All that really remains is to find the real killer (not my job,

This game is yet more evidence (as if it were needed) that the DS is the best gaming console yet created. The plot has thickened considerably since managing to get into the trailer. It’s looking pretty grim for the steel samurai. I have no conclusive (or even helpful) evidence whatsoever, so the trial is going

I’ve done something that I’ve needed to do for ages. There’s a lot of change going on in the World of Nelefa at the moment, and there’s really no need for random emails dating back to easynet.support in 1993, Realise and Cyberia in 1996, Dowcarter in 1998 and even Navyblue at the moment. My email

Mwaha! Managed to get an ajournment at the end of day one of trial three by casting aspersions on Ms Oldbag, the mental security officer. Turns out her evidence was a pile of incomplete poo, so I’m off investigating again. Finally tracked down the Director, Sal Manella, who talks in TEH C0mEDY L33t!!!11!one! It’s a

Previously, on Pheonix Wright…….. well, the last time I played this, I only did the first two trials (one being a kind of tutorial). I’ve just started the third trial and it’s a lot more involved. It really is an ACE game, because it’s very different from pretty much anything else. I think it was

It’s been a wierd year, but it’s not over yet. My beloved Gamecube has been in a bit of a decline as well, but going out with a bang — Resident Evil 4, the last title I bought for it, was easily the game of the year. I haven’t bought an Xbox or PS2 game

Well, the phantom express has been defeatorated and escaped, although it did have a rather nasty parting shot for poor Cyan. The ninja bloke finally legged it, though, which is a shame, because his ACE NINJ0R SKILLS were handy in the extreme. So, now I’m heading east through an area I already know is stuffed

Gaaaaah! I’m out of healing staves. I don’t have any space to carry stuff without throwing away other stuff. I’m just about to encounter an end of area boss (I have a nose for these things). The arbitrary limitations placed upon the player by this combat engine is frustrating in the extreme….. yet I’m still

Our first correspondence from the Department of Immigration in Adelaide. Our application has been received. The covering letter explains the ‘how long is a piece of string’ process to come – essentially, between one and four months we’ll be contacted to let us know we’ve been assigned a case officer. Sometime in the one to
