Another Code (DS)

Muhh – I’m in the house, accompanied by a wee ghostie friend. I had a lot of fun chucking steel globes at a switch to open the door. This is one of those suspension-of-belief style games, a little like resident evil, in which the drama is played out in a world where it’s perfectly normal

Another Code: 2 Memories (Nintendo DS)

Phew, this is a breath of fresh air! Another Code is kinda like a point and click adventure of yesteryear, but with some nice touches due to the DS’s touch screen and microphone. The top screen shows a static view of where you are while the bottom shows a top-down 3D scrolling map (with nice

Aaaaaargh!

There’s just too many! This is silly. There are 185 (that’s one hundred and eighty five) games on my shelves, for various platforms, and I’ve only completed a dozen or so. Doesn’t represent very good value for money really. I stuck em all into Delicious Library (and ace application – you can find it here.

Psi-Ops (Xbox) / Sudeki (Xbox)

Well, last night I had a wee bit of a talc outburst cos I kept on getting gubbed and then, even though I passed through a room with a checkpoint I didn’t actually go to where the checkpoint was to trigger it so when I died I went right back to the start. Not a

Change of plan

Right – we have to watch the pennies at the moment, so we’ve decided to buy no more games (although there will obviously be the odd exception – the new Zelda, and so on). So, to keep my gaming habit satisfied I’m gonna rent them instead – from here. The company is called Games Frenzy

Psi-Ops (Xbox)

Ok, so after wandering around for AGES looking for a vent I can climb into, I’ve moved on to the next area. Very linear so far, but still a huge amount of fun. I am a little worried that the whole thing is going to take place in the once environment. This would be a

Psi-Ops (Xbox)

I can just tell this is a game I’m going to finish and play again on a harder difficulty. It’s slightly reminiscent of RE4 inasmuch as the game mechanic is loads of fun. I have now add mind-drain to my arsenal, alongside telekinesis and far seeing. Mind drain is great – it effectively gives you

The more absorbent among you will be able to hold much more fluid than the rest of us. The more observant among you will perhaps have noticed that a “Completed Games” (‘completed’ is a deliberate misspelling of ‘complet0r4t0red’) has materialised down the right hand side of the page. I’ve set this up as a secondary

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy (Xbox)

This is one of those titles which I almost missed. I had a huge amount of fun playing around with the various psychic powers in a demo that was cover mounted on one of the drivel filled Xbox mags but, for some reason, I never seemed to have money on me whenever I remember about

Halo 2 (Xbox)

Hm. Well, there’s been a bit of talk on UGVX.com recently about starting a Halo 2 league for crap players. Faling squarely into the crap player camp, I reckoned it might be a good idea to at least finish the single player campaign first. So, I fired it up last night and loaded my last
