Metroid Zero Mission (GBA)

Best Metroid Game EVAR. Ahem. Let’s see – five hours in – VARIA SUIT GET! HIGH JUMP GET! WAVE BEAM GET! SPEED BOOST GET! 120 MISSILES GET! FOUR ENERGY UNITS GET! SOME OTHER STUFF I’VE FORGOTTEN GET! Oh no! Ridley’s spacecraft has landed and I have a funny feeling I’m very soon going to be

Metroid Zero Mission (Gameboy Advance)

Muhh! Big Green Froggy Dragonny Thing Pwn0r3d! One boss down and it’s yielded a speed boost upgrade. Which is nice. I have a cool 85 missile capacity but only two energy units and I still haven’t found a charge beam. So, before I do much else, it’s exploring I go to try and rake together

So, I have two minutes to get things ready before I’m herded off to hospital – what do I take with me? Gameboy Advance, of course – we all know how long hospital visits tend to take. “Aha!” though I, “the perfect opportunity to complete Metroid Fusion!” Oh no! Little Miss Dotty has deleted the

Mission 12 is an evil git. Basically, I’ve to pick a squad of five (given that I only currently have five chars, it’s not tough), equip them and then defend the base from an invasion. First attempt I made resulted in a humiliating massacre. The enemies are all invading from the North and I made

VICTORY GET! Again! Droids recovered (largely – lost two of em and hence failed to get the top ranking, but never mind). So, I’ve been promoted to Lieutenant, and now get the full on equip and place squad menus at the start of each battle. So, chapter 12 a-go-go!

Aaargh! That’s another lunchtime been completely devoured. Mission 11 (I think – I keep losing count) involves recovering some bots from an empty factory. Needless to say, it doesn’t stay empty for long. Anyway, I have a whole wheen of the little beggars all powered up and armed to the teeth. I only have one

Rebelstar: Tactical Co-Manged (GBA)

Well, that was easier than expected – but I only got an advanced not an Elite 🙁 Mostly because I didn’t wipe out the whole enemy presence, but merely gubbed the woofy things and made good my escape. Anyhoo, chapter 10 complete and I’m off to the bot factory.

VICTORY GET! Chapter 9 has been pwn0red. Chapter 9 was essentially a rescue mission, so armed with two new squad members, it’s now time to FLEE! So I’m FLEEING. I have to cross a valley to get back to base, but I want to kill off any pursuing woofy things so they don’t follow me

Rebelstar: Tactical Command (Gameboy Advance)

Still on the rescue mission – it’s a little tricky. The map is pretty big and there seem to be quite a few nasties lurking around. Also, having a bigger team (5 squad members now) makes each turn take a good deal longer to work out. Unlike games like Laser Squad Nemesis, which are structurally
