Legend of Zelda – The Miniyeeeaaargghh Cap

Every part of this game, including the bosses has been an absolute joy. Alongside the main quest there’s all the miniatures to collect, the kinstones to join, and all the exploring to do. So why bother adding a fecking irritatingly long winded battle at the end? It’s not that the final boss is difficult, cos

Guhhhh. Had my bottom handed to me on a plate with a nice side serving of lettuce. The end of game boss is….. tough. He’d be less tough if he was a bit nearer the save point though. First you have to cross a bridge with an annoying swingy macey person, then gub fifty million

Peril Beam GET! I can now spew forth gushes of scary power when I’m on my last heart! So it’s off to Castor Wilds to find the amazing uber-choppy-whack-whack move. And then it’s bossville. Oh yes. It is. I will NOT be raking about hunting for miniatures and I will NOT be raking around looking

Another Code (DS)

They’ve done it. Finally. Yesterday, another code was an enjoyable adventure game with a nice story. Today it’s a work of absolute genius. For those of you who’ve played the game, I’m sure you’ll know I’m talking about the method employed to find the location of the key to the musical box. I don’t think

Another Code (DS)

The piano has indeed played it’s part and I’ve moved deeper into the mansion. There seem to be far fewer clues lying around in this area, and a little more observation is required to progress. Up till now (about two and a half hours in) the puzzles have been straightforward – in one case, I

Another Code (DS)

The plot thickens! A glass with a golden hummingbird on it. I’m missing a letter from the astrology book collection, and I’m sure I need to find out what the piano tune was that I heard when I first went into the house. The crumpled labcoat may not have yielded all its secrets either, now
