Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube)

That was an exciting hour! A phenomenal pitched gun battle in a cottage, with some unexpected help. Was beaten upstairs and fought the nasty blighters off with incendiary grenades, but we won in the end. Only to be faced with a tough choice. Lots of small nasties or one big nasty. Still smarting from my

Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Xbox)

This is another one of those cracking titles that was buried under an avalanche of sub-standard sports titles and rehashed FPSen on release day. I’ve been going back to this game for years now – it’s a return to Rare’s roots. It plays not entirely unlike a combination of robotron and Atic Atac with some

Resident Evil 4 (GameCube)

There we are again – another couple of hours spent shotting ‘orrible things (which have a nasty habit of changing into other ‘orrible things). The lake boss is one of the most inventive bosses I’ve come across in a long time, and the graphical effects used to depict the ongoing thunderstorm are simply jaw dropping.

Lugaru (Macintosh)

This is a well kept secret! It’s a shareware game where you play an avenging ninja bunny and get to pick fights with evil bunnies and wolves. Fair enough, it’s a little lacking in the modern graphics department, but it does boast some lovely matrix stylee blurry replays not to mention the best combat system

Harvest Moon – again

I have a horsey! It’s called Laura (thanks, Harmony). It makes galloping about town a bit quicker, that’s for sure. And, I’ve discovered that Nami likes flowers…..
