It just keeps going! I have to say, there’s a moment where an extended cutscene requires loads of fast-reaction button presses at various stages which was getting a bit annoying. Then I realised that there was a continue point part way through the cutscene so you don’t have to go right back to the start.

Bah. I knew it was only a matter of time. The quadruple DVD case which WoW comes in is a bit pants, because the spindles that hold the disk are too rigid. Well, the inevitable finally happened – when trying to take one of the disks out of the case, the disk split right down

Cos it’s full of horrible shambling things that are nigh on indestructible unless you snipe at specific bits of them as they’re lunging at you. Quite a few brown trouser moments, last night. On the downside – if there is such a thing with Resident Evil 4 – the save points are becoming a little

Woohoo! The island is very pretty. That strange Mr Salazar, however, was a nasty piece of work. I did, however, find a technique which beat him in under a minute with only three shots 🙂 I’m not going to give it away here, however, cos I don’t want to spoil anyones fun but if someone

My hunch was correct. When face with El Giganto x 2, there’s no problem that can’t be solved with a facially applied rocket launcher. Oh yes indeedy.

**drool** Never played WoW cos it ran like a dog on my laptop. Then I discovered that it’s dual format so I stuck it in my little iMac (1GHz G4, 512Mb RAM, GForce4 MX) and discovered first of all that it runs beautifully and secondly that it’s a fantastic MMORPG. Just an hour or so

While there’s a temptation to horde weapons and ammo, don’t skimp on the rocket launcher. If you have space to carry it and 30k spare, you can’t do without one. BAD THINGS WITH BIG KNIVES are a lot easier to deal with if you can turn them into BAD THING WITH BIG KNIFE puree. Trust

Aaaargh! It never lets up for a second! I seem to be constantly worrying about ammo, even though there’s tons of it around – I’m moving from one frantic firefight to the next and getting to the point where I daren’t miss a shot. I’m currently at a point (which I’m not going to mention

Had a good hour sesh on this today – Ribbit King is one of those games that serve as a reminder that Playstations and Xboxes can come and go, but Nintendo typically have the best wierdo games 🙂 Ribbit King is about Frolf – a game which involves whacking a frog with a mallet to

No, really! Resident Evil 4 – it’s huge. Well, I’m ten or so hours in, so far (although with my inherent crapness this equates to about 25 hours play time) and I’m still on disk one. My beloved is out for the evening visiting some friends, so I’ve had a good couple of hours at
