I dunno why everyone slates this game. It’s ACEBEST. Alright, so it’s basically a horizontally scrolling beat-em-up but in 3D, but it’s with LIGHTSABRES and FORCE EVILNESS and tons of unlockable characters. I suspect my youngest lad is a bit of a jedi ninja though, cos he keeps gubbing me in multiplayer. Anyway, I’m at

Oh for heaven’s sake. The BBC seem to have crawled down beside the Daily Mail in the gutter. The article linked below, written by an “expert” so misinformed she has the word “Cyberspace” in her department name, is yet another example of the press and government making deliberate attempts to frighten people. Every time something

w00t! Destroyed the seperatists ship, so onto next area. Done: short outdoor Geonisis area. Longer indoor geonosis area. Short derelict indoor area. Short Kashyyk indoor area. Credits. “What?” you cry? Fecking CREDITS. Game c0mplet0rat0red. 7 hours on the the clock. Seven hours. That’s seven. One more than six and one less than eight. Seven. Big

Ok, so I wasn’t going to play anything from the Episode III bits until I’d seen the movie, because I didn’t want any spoilers. Then, I had an epiphany. Hang on, thought I – it’s a George Lucas movie. What am I going to spoil? Bad dialogue and predictable plots? I doubt it. Why do

What an ending! The final boss is….. disturbing, but not nearly as disturbing as the closing titles are. Anyhoo, I appear to have unlocked two subgames, playing through bits of the game as characters who wander in and out of the story from time to time as well as some new buyable goodies (infinite rocket

It just keeps going! I have to say, there’s a moment where an extended cutscene requires loads of fast-reaction button presses at various stages which was getting a bit annoying. Then I realised that there was a continue point part way through the cutscene so you don’t have to go right back to the start.

Cos it’s full of horrible shambling things that are nigh on indestructible unless you snipe at specific bits of them as they’re lunging at you. Quite a few brown trouser moments, last night. On the downside – if there is such a thing with Resident Evil 4 – the save points are becoming a little

No, really! Resident Evil 4 – it’s huge. Well, I’m ten or so hours in, so far (although with my inherent crapness this equates to about 25 hours play time) and I’m still on disk one. My beloved is out for the evening visiting some friends, so I’ve had a good couple of hours at

It’s not often I get in a temper tantrum through frustration, but Third Age has done it. I’m playing it on hard mode because anything less than that is just stupidly non challenging. Up till now, it’s all been going swimmingly except the developers have obviously decided it’s not hard enough. Solution? Improving the enemy

I’ve started cutting the images now. Basically, Chris Wild has supplied the original graphics which he ripped as part of his disassembly of the game and I’m busily chopping and converting them. Basically, I’m scaling them by two so I can work in 640×480 without bugging some poor soul to do the graphics until I’m
