Otherwise known as Timesplitters 2. My wee lad and I have been blowing seven shades of monkey-bits out of each on a custom map. He’s getting really good at it as well. It’s one of those titles that just never seems to get tired – probably cos there’s so much to unlock, the game modes

Not really much to say here except it’s a wonderful RPG that I keep going back to for a quick bash. I’m sure purists will rant and rave at the frenzied (i.e. not turn based) battles but hey – what good are purists if they can’t be irked?

This was a bit of a risky purchase. It’s only been out a couple of weeks and the box in Game was wreathed with overlapping stickers saying “£39.99”, “£29.99”, and “£19.99”. The only one missing was the one saying “Please, for the love of God, will someone buy this?” Anyway – I did. And I’m

Just one more go, I thought. Just to convince myself that it’s really really dull. Three hours later and I’m still at it. Gaaaaah – it has me hooked just as badly as first time around. I’m going to have to ration time very carefully, methinks, because I just don’t have that kinda of time

This one’s been sitting unopened on the shelf for ages and thought I’d give it a go. It’s fab – just as good as the first one, although I am being mildly irritated by the sluggishness of the inventory/journal/etc pages. Probably another post-RE4 hangup. It’s been such a long time since a game came along

As it happens, I decided on Final Fantasy VII, in the end. I haven’t given this game anywhere near the time it deserves, so I’ve decided to take my time and trawl through the whole thing. It is looking a little dated, of course, but it doesn’t seem to matter. I’ve only just sailed across

I’ve just remembered! I have sealed copies of Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX here….. ……and I’ve only played about the first hour of VII and none of the rest. Could this be that rainy day I’ve been putting off for ages?

It may just be me, or that I’m particularly tired (I am – the kids had a disturbe night last night through illness) but this game is the most irritating and frustrating thing I’ve played in ages. It may, of course, just be fall out from the joy of Resident Evil 4. Anyway, I’m in

This is my current mobile game. I’ve clocked an insane amount of hours on it in the past, but it’s so good that – inspired by the rich and luscious visuals provided by my DS, I’ve started again. (Ignore the Japanese visuals, above). It never ceases to amaze me that a fully fledged turn based

This is my daytime game at the moment – playable when the kids are up and about without giving them the screaming habdabs. It seems to be that the blokes who do the oddworld series can do no wrong – consistently turning out beautiful, original, and fiendishly tough games, and Strangers Wrath is no exception.
