Resident Evil 4 (GameCube)

Aaaaargh! Is about all I can say, really. A few more (!) hours in now and I can safely say this is my Game of the Year. And it’s only February. It has one of the most satisfying shotguns I’ve ever encountered πŸ™‚ I was a bit sceptical about the lack of zombie at first

Medal of Honour – Frontline (Xbox) (wot again??)

Well, yes! Cos I’m really enjoying it now! Did two levels last night – about 90 minutes worth. First off, scampering through an SS infested mansion trying to free a prisoner, and then removing demolitions charges from a bridge covered in snipers. Loadsa fun. The difficulty is starting to pick up a little now, and

Medal of Honour Frontline (Xbox)

Still at it – did another little missionette last night – about 45 minutes this time. It was a lot of fun, suprisingly. The idea was to sneak about disabling vehicles then creep into a pub wearing an enemy uniform to rendezvous with a resistance member. Of course, me with my ΓƒΖ’Γ†β€™Γƒβ€šΓ‚ΒΌber sniper rifle skills

Medal of Honour – Frontline (Xbox)

Had a wee go of this last night – I’m only on the fourth mission, or thereabouts. I generally don’t do FPSen, but this one keeps me coming back every now and again. It’s good for a quick twenty minute blast. I particularly like the sniper rifle – it’s strangely satisfying. The game as a

Ghosthunter (PS2)

Picked this up for 7 quid in Woolies. It’s surprisingly good – it uses a novel joint third person and over the shoulder aiming view – exactly the same as the new Resident Evil game. Except, of course, Ghosthunter was released a year or two ago. The graphics are blindingly good – indicating that the

Third Age – it cheats

On hard mode, I’m sure the AI cheats in Helm’s Deep. Three times now, with the same line up of characters, the Uruk-Hai just get as many goes as they like until two of my chars are KO’d and the last one is below 500 Hit Points. At that stage, it’s the uck of the

Nothing. Nothing at all.

I’m waiting for a review copy of Resident Evil 4 (US) to arrive. The rants and raves about its undisputed greatness has me all excited and I can’t focus on anything else πŸ™

Super Monkey Ball 2

I’m still taking a little break from the aggravating exercise in pointlessness which is Helm’s Deep. Last night I had a little (20 mins or so) go of SMB2. Everyone loves this game. Everyone thinks it’s great. It really really REALLY annoys me. It gets me tense, irritable and aggravated. So it went back on
