Yet another embarrassing death, or “Why it’s important to research your class”. Ok, so a new character, level two, rummaging around in the first level of the dungeon. Suddenley I’m hungry. Oh dear, think I, I’ve been too busy playing with the magic system and learning spells that I’ve neglected to eat. Oh! I have

First stage of Campaign mode complet0rised! The Pirates are defeated and Bague’s Avengers are victorious! Now I’m up to my eyes in bi-plane flying World War 1 Germans! With the stupendous amount of coins I earned, I’ve unlocked the dreaded Concrete Donkey and the wonderful new Buffalo of Lies! I’ve also discovered that by pressing

Despite being somewhat disappointed with the horrifically buggy and, frankly, unfinished Open Warfare a year or two ago, the lure of mass invertebrate extermination on a handheld console was reaching fever pitch when I spotted that Open Warfare 2 was getting better reviews. Imagine my discomfort, then, when discovering that it was sitting for a

This game is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. And it’s still miles better than many other titles available for the PC. It’s just stupid, funny, ultra-violent and, well, daft. So I’ve created a team called Bague’s Avengers and am working my way up through the ranks in deathmatch mode, cos it’s just got to

It begins…… again. I made the mistake of starting this back in February / March last year when, avid nelefans will remember, I was in the throes of many Castlevania games and Magical Starsign. And then Puzzle Quest came along. Anyhoo, I reckoned it was time to get back to it. Except, of course, I

Well this is pretty! It’s like having a haircut and a shave and a new t-shirt, all at the same time! I felt it was time for a change because, pretty as the old Temple of Bague theme was, a change is as good as a nod to a blind bat, as they say. They

Dewey’s Adventure is just lovely. It’s hard to imagine a cuter game ever existing. Basically, you’re a little blob of water who bottom-scrapes around the place rescuing little cute things from big evil cute things. You can transform into a little cute icy thing for doing cute melee attacks and a little gaseous cloud for

Ahem – anyway, multiple entries today. But not really in the order they were played. First off, a bit of “The Thing” on the PS2, which I used to own on the xbox and never got round to playing. It seems ok – some nice psychology things going on, but seems like a fairly basic

This was a bit of a surprise! I haven’t posted anything on it yet because I’m “only” six hours in and I’m still waiting for all the bad things the review sites moaned about to kick in. Which they haven’t. At all. Thing is, gamespot, eurogamer, all those guys, complained that Hoshigami is a bit

ZOMG! I actually played a game! AMAZING SCENES ((C) 2007 DeKay). And it only took about 30 seconds of play to remember just how awesome Super Paper Mario is. I was climbing up the inside of a tree and getting up to all kinds of wierd puzzly switch-pressing antics before have a mini-boss battle with
