Phoenix Wright – ACED Attorney (DS)

Complet0rised! The last day in court seems to have been pretty much real time – it took hours. The story was coming so thick and fast, though, that I was carried onwards with the momentum, meaning the last half of the day was done in one sitting. I think I got the ‘glum’ ending because

Final Fantasy II (GBA) – FINALIS0RED!

Phew! The last boss was a tough one! Took me three attempts, but I got there in the end. The last save was standing at a little over 35 hours, bringing the cartridge total to about 60 hours. In both Final Fantasy I and in II, there was a lot more levelling, optional sub quests,

Final Fantasy (GBA)

Complet0rated! Sadly, after twenty-odd hours of gameplay, I missed the closing bit of story / cutscene because I had to carry out taxi duties :-/ Still, there’s another couple of bloggees who are currently playing through it, so I’m sure one of them will fill me in. In the end, the final boss was more

Final Fantasy (I & II) GBA

This is my new daytime game. The reason I’m making a distinction between daytime and nighttime games is because the other title I’m playing is Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow on the DS and I only get access to the DS when I can prise it from Debbie’s clutching grip of doom. At least until she’s

Metroid Zero Mission (GBA) – End0red!

‘Tis ended! Mecha-Ridley is a rusty bag of nuts and bolts. The expected Predator moment (Get to da Choppa!) happened and I had a short amount of time to leg it. The lack of access to a save point worried me a little, but as it happens I escaped with over a minute left on

A bit of this and a bit of that……

A spot of Neverwinter Nights on the PC. About an hour or so. It’s an ACE RPG and can be picked up as part of a double pack for a tenner. And that, I’m afraid to say, is it. I have loads of barely played games sitting on the shelf, but I seem to be

God of War (PS2) – c0mplet0rambugat3d

9 hours, 37 minutes is how long it takes. What that time doesn’t include, however, is at least two hours spent on multiple attempts to scale two very irritating spinny poles with blades on while in Hades. That was very very annoying. An excellent game, if a little short – reminded me a lot of

The time has come….

for me to clean out my mailbox. Do I really need 40,000 emails dating back to the tail end of 2002? I think not. Another thing – if there’s one thing I hate it’s blog comment spam. I enabled comments at 5:30, before leaving work, cos I’ve had a lot of requests. By the time
