Rebelstar: Tactical Command (Gameboy Advance)

Muhh – romping through chapter 8. Thank god for mid-battle saves, cos each level takes and age (to do well). Carlos has joined my little gang and we’re currently on a most unprecedented expedition to rescue some silly bint who got herself captured. Fortunately, said silly bint has MAD MEDICAL SKILLZ, which is just as

Levels 7 and 8 Eliteified. And there’s a benevolent dream-alien called Klaatu. I wonder if he has mates called Barata and Nikto. Anyway, managed to escape from a sneak trap and also help a new squaddie called Carlos to escape from a green-bogie camp. ACEBEST

Rebelstar: Tactical Command (GBA)

Hooray! Chapter 6 c0mplet0red! That means I’ve officially…….. finished the tutorial! But, I did get “Elite” gradings for all 6 chapters. And it only took about four and a half hours in total. The Evil End Of Game Boss in Zelda is a distant memory.

There’s a good chance you’ll know he has a brother and together they’re produced some of the very finest turn-based tactical science fiction games in the history of videogaming. Here’s

Legend of Zelda – The Miniyeeeaaargghh Cap

Every part of this game, including the bosses has been an absolute joy. Alongside the main quest there’s all the miniatures to collect, the kinstones to join, and all the exploring to do. So why bother adding a fecking irritatingly long winded battle at the end? It’s not that the final boss is difficult, cos

Guhhhh. Had my bottom handed to me on a plate with a nice side serving of lettuce. The end of game boss is….. tough. He’d be less tough if he was a bit nearer the save point though. First you have to cross a bridge with an annoying swingy macey person, then gub fifty million

Legend of Zelda – The Minish Cap

Peril Beam GET! I can now spew forth gushes of scary power when I’m on my last heart! So it’s off to Castor Wilds to find the amazing uber-choppy-whack-whack move. And then it’s bossville. Oh yes. It is. I will NOT be raking about hunting for miniatures and I will NOT be raking around looking

Roll Attack GET! And I got another bit of heart container – I have officially Rull Realth[0]! Now. Must stop playing Zelda. Work to do. [0] It should probably be noted at this point that “Rull Realth” is a hangover from Scooby Doo: Night of 100 Frights – a game which I urge you to

Legend of Zelda – The Minish Cap (GBA)

Hah! No way am I tackling the boss yet! I’ve just realised I only have four of the sword attack power ups and I need to have all seven before I can learn the über-swipe. So, I’m off on another four quests. First it’s off to Mount Crenel to learn the Roll Attack. Then it’s
