Ok – where in God’s name was I? Had I finished the cloudy up in the air place? Yup – turns out I had – I had upgraded to the four sword in the elemental sanctuary….. ah that was it! I got lost in Dark Hyrule! There’s also that huge wad of doubt – I

And it was ACE! It was a little on the short side (just over five hours) and I got the sad ending (I must have missed a bit of D’s past somewhere), but it was still TEH GRATE. One minor complaint it a five hour completion time on a 30 quid game – that’s six

They’ve done it. Finally. Yesterday, another code was an enjoyable adventure game with a nice story. Today it’s a work of absolute genius. For those of you who’ve played the game, I’m sure you’ll know I’m talking about the method employed to find the location of the key to the musical box. I don’t think

The piano has indeed played it’s part and I’ve moved deeper into the mansion. There seem to be far fewer clues lying around in this area, and a little more observation is required to progress. Up till now (about two and a half hours in) the puzzles have been straightforward – in one case, I

The plot thickens! A glass with a golden hummingbird on it. I’m missing a letter from the astrology book collection, and I’m sure I need to find out what the piano tune was that I heard when I first went into the house. The crumpled labcoat may not have yielded all its secrets either, now

Muhh – I’m in the house, accompanied by a wee ghostie friend. I had a lot of fun chucking steel globes at a switch to open the door. This is one of those suspension-of-belief style games, a little like resident evil, in which the drama is played out in a world where it’s perfectly normal

Phew, this is a breath of fresh air! Another Code is kinda like a point and click adventure of yesteryear, but with some nice touches due to the DS’s touch screen and microphone. The top screen shows a static view of where you are while the bottom shows a top-down 3D scrolling map (with nice

There’s just too many! This is silly. There are 185 (that’s one hundred and eighty five) games on my shelves, for various platforms, and I’ve only completed a dozen or so. Doesn’t represent very good value for money really. I stuck em all into Delicious Library (and ace application – you can find it here.

Well, last night I had a wee bit of a talc outburst cos I kept on getting gubbed and then, even though I passed through a room with a checkpoint I didn’t actually go to where the checkpoint was to trigger it so when I died I went right back to the start. Not a

Right – we have to watch the pennies at the moment, so we’ve decided to buy no more games (although there will obviously be the odd exception – the new Zelda, and so on). So, to keep my gaming habit satisfied I’m gonna rent them instead – from here. The company is called Games Frenzy
