Many new developments – I ganked the big towery things that were giving me problems and thwarted a pirate plot before being given a not-very-subtle hint from a mystic called Twigadamas. Who is, well, a floating stick. Some of the humour in Magical Starsign is pretty obvious (like the way Twigadamas’ name caption keeps changing

What have I been doing? Well, loads as it happens. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather so have taken the opportunity to have a couple of hours on the DS. With Magical Starsign being completely stylus driven, it means I can play it one handed with the DS resting on a surface which

Ok. So, I hunted down and defeated a Hermit Lab. Yes, that’s right, a labrador that lives in a shell. It had made off with the key to a lockbox containing batteries. Because the owner of the lockbox couldn’t power his furnace, he nicked the head of my robot to use instead. Anyway, with key

This one has been sitting taunting me from my game case for months. So, a pre-FFIII break from Castlevania is required, and a light-hearted RPG is just what the doctor ordered. I’m actually very pleasantly surprised at how much fun this one is – it’s pretty lightweight as RPGs go – imagine Mario and Luigi

ZOMG! (for the second time today). I’ve just had a look at the manual and seen the available jobs! I’m not sure I’m ready for something the sheer girth of FFIII after finishing so many short ‘n sweet Castlevania action-platformers. I think the best way to go is probably to continue ambling through Circle of

It’s just lovely. Really it is. I managed to get the airship blown up while demolishing a progress-thwarting block, so I need to get another one built. I do have a magical folding canoe though! I’m currently standing at the bottom of a mountain which has a dragon at the top. Which is strange cos

Look, I had no choice, alright? One thing about Circle of the Moon – it’s a bit hard! First boss killed me a couple of times before I realised that the correct strategy is to squeal like a girl and run away from all its attacks, only pausing to whipporise it when a clear opportunity

Oh no! It’s grabbed me. I wasn’t sure if it would, but it did. So, I’ve stormed the cave and gubbed the Djinn, at which point I was transported away and it started with the music and the titles and I got all shivery and thought “yup, this is Final Fantasy”. So, I can now
