I know, I know, I didn’t mean it, alright? I was happily playing Final Fantasy III and I reached into my wee bag to dig out the charger for the DS Lite and Aria of Sorrow just kind of looked at me with a mournful expression on its wee plasticky face. So, I’ve started my

I’ve been waiting ages to start this, but I had (and still have, I guess) too many Castlevania games in the way. Well, it’s time for a change of pace I think. The first thought was “ZOMG!” – the introductory FMV is beautiful – exactly the type of thing you expect from Squenix. Once the

The final boss was a bit of a bugger, but loads of fun. The first form can be done without taking any damage and the second just requires a lot of mobility and the death soul to take care of the flying gobs of doom. So, loads of potions later and it’s closing cutscene and

Abaddon == AbaDONE! I had a brief moment of panic when I walked into the room and was dead within seconds. I’d used all my potions (bar one) getting three quarters of the way around the area to where the save point is and I foolishly expected another teleport point to be nearby. No such

DEATH == DEADED. My first attempt at DEATH filled me with unreasoning fear. He is the grim reaper, after all. So, I fired off a panic-laden “nneeeaaargh!” type email to deKay and decided to have another go. I looked at my soul configuration and decided to go for something a little more defensive. First off,

Kept my appointment at the centre of the map. Twice. The first time, I neglected to wear a certain piece of jewellery (which, in fairness, it would be unlikely that I’d know to do this at this stage) which resulted in my being EVIL and unleashing the wrath of the Belmont clan. So – that

So, a top tip is – when you’re playing a Castlevania game and it seems like you’ve reached the end of game guy, don’t kill him, but look for an alternative way. In this instance, the alternative was to spot the big fiery scary looking geezer in the mirror and pop through to give him

Dawn of sorrow is a very pretty game – the further I get the prettier it seems to become – lots of pseudo 3d stuff going on and beautiful painted sprites. So I thought I’d put in some screenshots since it’s a while since I’ve done that. All in all, a lovely game. Trouble is,

Hah! Well, in response to deKay’s unwarranted abuse, I’ve pwn0rised the clock tower and gubbed Paranoia. There’s a downside though – now I can hop through mirrors, so I’m going to have to rummage through the whole castle looking for all the bits I’ve missed. I have to say, the pseudo-plasma graphical effect when you’re

Clock Tower: NYEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH! That is all.
