Gaaaaah! I’m on a lift and people keep lobbing sickles at me! Stoppit! One of the most worrying traits of this game is the way that you occasionally come across a scrap of paper detailing a hideous and scary ambush that’s been laid for you and you *have* to go that way. It does give

This one has been getting quite a bit of play recently, due to the sheer loveliness of the Nintendo DS’s screens. Having a proper backlight, rather than the frontlight of the SPs, is just lovely. Only downside is that my right hand (on the buttons) gets a little cramped after extended play on the DS.

No – it was the RIGHT choice. Gubbing the dirty great stompy thing is hard enough without thon silly girl dashing around getting herself killed. I thought I may be able to leg it past the thing, but it just takes too long to shoot the chains off the door. I think I’ll take my

That was an exciting hour! A phenomenal pitched gun battle in a cottage, with some unexpected help. Was beaten upstairs and fought the nasty blighters off with incendiary grenades, but we won in the end. Only to be faced with a tough choice. Lots of small nasties or one big nasty.

This is another one of those cracking titles that was buried under an avalanche of sub-standard sports titles and rehashed FPSen on release day.

Mohh – finally managed to rescue the goil, although I have to say that ferrying the useless beggar around the place is a little tiresome. Having said that, I only actually played alongside the girl for a few minutes, so I’ll reserve judgement for now.

Plenitude Action Liposomes. Nutrigrain. Ambi-pur Liquifresh. Excuse me? It’s the new black! Somewhere, some advertising nob-end decided “Hey, I know! Let’s advertise all our products by making up new words! We could just chop up bits of existing words and stick em together to make new ones!” So, I have a quest – I’m sitting

I haven’t done a single bit of remake coding for ages – just got too many other things to do. This doesn’t mean that Dynamite Dan and Wizards Lair are off, by any means – they’re not. They’re just two of the many things I have bubbling away on the stove right now. So where

Aaaaaaaargh! Big Thing! Comes through a gate! It’s BIG and it’s FAST and it keeps hitting me with trees! Waaaaaaaah!
