The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

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

I’ve just remembered! I have sealed copies of Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX here….. ……and I’ve only played about the first hour of VII and none of the rest. Could this be that rainy day I’ve been putting off for ages?

It may just be me, or that I’m particularly tired (I am – the kids had a disturbe night last night through illness) but this game is the most irritating and frustrating thing I’ve played in ages. It may, of course, just be fall out from the joy of Resident Evil 4. Anyway, I’m in

This is my current mobile game. I’ve clocked an insane amount of hours on it in the past, but it’s so good that – inspired by the rich and luscious visuals provided by my DS, I’ve started again. (Ignore the Japanese visuals, above). It never ceases to amaze me that a fully fledged turn based

This is my daytime game at the moment – playable when the kids are up and about without giving them the screaming habdabs. It seems to be that the blokes who do the oddworld series can do no wrong – consistently turning out beautiful, original, and fiendishly tough games, and Strangers Wrath is no exception.

About that facially applied rocket launcher – I do feel very very bad about it but then you really did bring it upon yourself by being an incredibly annoying mutant-alien-thingy. I have to confess that the immense satisfaction caused by turning you into tomato puree has more than justified the stress, grief, and anguish you’ve

Because he’s the most annoying person in the universe. He really is. I gave up in exasperation last night. I shall beat him, though. Oh yes. I shall.
