Final Fantasy II (GBA)
Good grief! Had my butt kicked in the first dungeon! The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly in this one. My main problem was I didn’t take nearly enough ethers with me. Well, I’ll know the next time 🙂

Final Fantasy II (GBA)
It’s great. Really, it is. I seriously enjoyed FFI over the past few days and FF2 does the same but in a richer and deeper way (with only one very minor exception – the whole-world map is less pretty :)). I think the thing I like best about this – other than the deeper story
Castlevania – Dawn of Sorrow (Nintendo DS)
DS ACCESS GET! The kids are all doing their homework so I snarfed the DS to have a wee go of the above. It’s ACE! I think I need to wait until the Nintendogs mania has worn off a little so I can get a good run at it though. Couple of minor quibbles –
Final Fantasy II (GBA)
Ohhhh, it’s ACE. It’s just great. It’s slightly prettier looking than FF-I in a brain-maddening Escheresque impossible perspective kinda way, but still pretty simple. It’s the conversations that make the difference. Key words can be ‘learned’, allowing you to ‘ask’ other NPCs about them at a later date. You can also ask about items. The

I knew I’d cave. I had a go (about an hour or so) of Sword of Mana, but it’s not really gelling with me. It feels very like Kingdom Hearts and I just did NOT get on with that game. So, I thought I’d have a sneak peak at FF-2 – seeing as it’s on

Kirby – Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA)
Level 2 (Ice Cream Land, I think) completored, and onto level 3. Erm. This is, er, not taking long.
Kirby – Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA)
No Kirby game should ever be held up as evidence that the people who make games for Nintendo are normal. Because they’re not. Kirby is quite clearly the product of too many late nights indulging in illicit substances. Basically, you control an amorphous pink blob who, as well as scuttling around on the ground, can

End of Game Boss. It’s one of those bosses which has a stupid amount of health which it can completely regenerate whenever it feels like it. It’s one of those bosses whose defeat depends upon you having two very specific spells available. Which I don’t have. But I could go off and get them. But
Final Fantasy (GBA)
Well, I’m on Level 3 of the Cloud Fortress at the moment. And I’ve just noticed that since getting a class upgrade, my Knight and Ninja can now cast. So, once I get this pesky Wind Crystal, I suspect I’ll have to go to the Chaos Shrine for high-noon. So, I’ll stock up on some
