World of Warcraft (PC)

Mooriel the druid had an epic and extremely intense session in 10-19 battlegrounds yesterday – it went on for about 50 minutes and, for once, both Horde and Alliance were more or less equally twinked. I’ve decided that big stupid cow druids are the dogs’ in Warsong Gulch. Anyhoo, I also had to send some

Mario and Luigi – Partners in Time (DS)

Another quick go on the bus this morning. So, I dropped out the bottom of the mothership and into the mushroomy village type place and solved some puzzles. Then I found the entrance to Star Hill and began my ascent. Then I stopped. As it were.

Mario and Luigi – Partners in Time (DS)

Been a bit under the weather today, so I’ve not been hugely active. As a result, I spent a bit of the day playing Mario and Luigi while feeling sorry for myself. Ten minutes after starting playing I suddenley wondered why I stopped. Anyhoo, I’m now on board the Evil Mushroom Mothership so we’ll see

Barrow Hill (PC)

Ok, I’d suggest keeping a notebook handy while playing Barrow Hill – there are numerous clues of various types all over the place and I’m finding I have to do a bit of backtracking every now and again (i.e. going back to look for a car registration number). I had a pretty good idea that

World of Warcraft (PC)

I’m really starting to believe that the filthy alliance scum who play on the Kul Tiras WoW server, or at least those who play in the 10-19 Warsong Gulch battleground, are a bunch of loser twinks with no ability whatsoever. The amount of twinkage on display last night was breathtaking – a level 15 dual

Warcraft III (PC)

Well, I’ve successfully defended a village from the undead horde. Unfortunately, Arthas has had a bit of a falling out with Uther, stroppy tart that he is, and has single handedly stalked off to Stratholme to sort him out. As I’m sure everyone but me is already aware, this is a beautiful beautiful game and

Barrow Hill (PC)

Now this is just lovely. It’s titles like this, appearing completely out of the blue, that restore faith in the games industry. And it’s British to boot 🙂 It’s essentially a point and click adventure from the first person, done Myst stylee, but with a very heavy focus on atmospherics. I’ve only played for forty

Trauma Center – Under the Knife (Nintendo DS)

It’s a bizarre concept – making life-or-death surgery the subject of a video game. But it works! Trauma Center is a frantic nerve shredding panic game controlled entirely from the touch screen. Essentially, you play the role of a rookie doctor and have to perform varying surgeries against the clock. It sounds odd – but

Warcraft III (PC)

Well, as the comment on last night’s entry goes, I’m now up to my eyes in Undead. It’s really quite strange seeing units charging about the place that I recognise from WoW 🙂 In particular, the big three armed blokes who guard Undercity are pretty fearsome. I now have access to Priests and Sorcerers, which

Warcraft III (PC)

Ok, so a friend at work has been waxing lyrical about all the ingame lore and history in World of Warcraft which ties into the Warcraft III RTS scenarios. Except I’ve never played them, and I’m feeling all left out. So, off to game for a rummage in the bargain bin where I managed to
