Despite what the occasionally USENET pundit might say, the current generation of consoles has had some truly great games. Off the top of my head, games I want to either complete or just play through again in the near future are: Doom 3 (Xbox) Republic Commando (Xbox) Resident Evil 4 (GameCube) Metroid Prime 2 Pikmin

Ok, girly moment. Dark dark room. I can hear snufflings and stuff. Not good. I wish I could hold a gun and a torch at the same time. Oh well, nowt for it. Should I chance a quick switch to the flashlight? I can definitely hear something. Flick on the torch. BIG DEAD THING COMING

There’s only really six things to say about Doom 3 on Xbox. Briefly, they are: Dark Scary Dark Beautifully rendered Dark Tense By God, though – what a game. I’ve only just got back to Marine HQ after all hell breaking loose (literally) down in the depths of the base. Very *very* atmospheric game, and

Well, I wasn’t sure if I’d like this but I had a suspicion I would, what with being a little on the nerdy side with regard to Star Wars. Not mainstream nerdy, I have to say – I don’t think Episodes I and II are worse than the original trilogy – I fully believe they’re

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
