The bridge is blown in yet another pitched battle. Trundling on, through more corridors, (why is the phrase “you are in a maze of twisty tunnels all alike” spring to mind?) I encountered more Trandashans and blew them up. Then I found some droids and blew them up. Then I found an obstacle blocking my

Sigh. More corridors. And it’s dark. And it’s pouring with rain. For god’s sake, mang! I live in SCOTLAND. Why would I want to play a game about RAIN of all things? Anyway, the action is hotting up – it’s one firefight after another. Nothing to rival Halo or Halo 2, natch, but entertaining non-the-less.

Nelefa has moved! Again!

It’s not situated in t’US, courtesy of a very good little hosting company called challengehost.com. Being moveable type, it was very easy to shift without any downtime as well.

Oh, thank god for that! Finally got off Geonosis. The last geonosis level (on the Trade Federation starship) is really annoying cos it involves doing some stuff to a time limit and I *hate* time limits. Anyhoo, I’ve now found myself in a decidedly spooky Mynoc infested derelict, creeping about (without my squadmates) looking for

Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Game Diary / 26 May 2005 / John

Got a loan of this from a bloke at work. Racing games just aren’t my bag, but everyone (you know who you are, redsmartie) has been nagging me to death to give it a go. So I’ll give it a go. At some point.

Battlefront / Republic Commando

Game Diary / 23 May 2005 / John

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

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

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)

Game Diary / 12 May 2005 / John

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
