Harvest Moon – A Wonderful Life (Gamecube)

…and this is my “during the day” game. And it’s magnificent still. I’ve been playing on-and-off since release a year ago and it just hasn’t lost any of its charm. Whether it’s charging about raising crops, wooing girlies, or just sitting fishing it’s fab πŸ™‚ I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and get a

Resident Evil 4 (GameCube)

Aaaaargh! Is about all I can say, really. A few more (!) hours in now and I can safely say this is my Game of the Year. And it’s only February. It has one of the most satisfying shotguns I’ve ever encountered πŸ™‚ I was a bit sceptical about the lack of zombie at first

The difficulty is starting to pick up a little now, and

Medal of Honour Frontline (Xbox)

Still at it – did another little missionette last night – about 45 minutes this time. It was a lot of fun, suprisingly. The idea was to sneak about disabling vehicles then creep into a pub wearing an enemy uniform to rendezvous with a resistance member. Of course, me with my ΓƒΖ’Γ†β€™Γƒβ€šΓ‚ΒΌber sniper rifle skills

Medal of Honour – Frontline (Xbox)

Had a wee go of this last night – I’m only on the fourth mission, or thereabouts. I generally don’t do FPSen, but this one keeps me coming back every now and again. It’s good for a quick twenty minute blast. I particularly like the sniper rifle – it’s strangely satisfying. The game as a

Ghosthunter (PS2)

Picked this up for 7 quid in Woolies. It’s surprisingly good – it uses a novel joint third person and over the shoulder aiming view – exactly the same as the new Resident Evil game. Except, of course, Ghosthunter was released a year or two ago. The graphics are blindingly good – indicating that the
