Well, story mode is finished at least. You know how it is with Phantasy Star – it’s very easy to get a bit obsessive about the online mode, but I’m not going to. Oh no. I’ll have a wee go, sure, but I’m not going to get carried away 🙂 The last couple of chapters

Well, it’s been out a good couple of years now, but I’ve finally finished Half-Life 2 – and it was completely awesome, if incomprehensible. I still have no idea what any of it was about, but I had a lot of fun not knowing. High Points: Pitched battles with Striders in the streets – I

It is complete – at a little over 50 hours, and I reckon there’s 2-3 hours of optional stuff and at least 10 hours of fishing quests still in there. The ending was as epic as games get, really, with lovely protracted titles showing events in the world after the end of the story. Spoiler

Guhh! Death’s second form is quite breathtakingly hard. Fortunately you’re free to go and find a save point after his first form. Which is just as well, because I’ve spent well over three hours play time being killed by Dracula, going off and getting up a level, coming back, getting killed, levelling again, etc. By

Oh yes indeedy – it is c0mpl3t0rat0red! I can’t really say much about the ending without giving spoilers, but I will say that this is one of the best and more entertaining RPGs I’ve played. Sure, it’s a little (lot) on the easy side, but it’s funny and clever and never gets dull. The closing

w00+! Aria of Sorrow is c0mplet0r1z0red! (or something). Not as substantial as Harmony of Dissonance, but still an awesome game. The end of game boss was so easy he practically beat himself, but by that time I was too knackered to deal with a hard boss anyway – the guy (no spoilers, please, we’re British)

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

Harmonised! My first game this year! All three endings – sad, meh, and happy – so Boss Rush mode and music player mode are both unlocked. I was level 49 at the end and finished it with 100% so the boss, like the other bosses in the game, was pretty straightforward. All in all, despite

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

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,
