The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

Ok, so after wandering around for AGES looking for a vent I can climb into, I’ve moved on to the next area. Very linear so far, but still a huge amount of fun. I am a little worried that the whole thing is going to take place in the once environment. This would be a

I can just tell this is a game I’m going to finish and play again on a harder difficulty. It’s slightly reminiscent of RE4 inasmuch as the game mechanic is loads of fun. I have now add mind-drain to my arsenal, alongside telekinesis and far seeing. Mind drain is great – it effectively gives you

The more absorbent among you will be able to hold much more fluid than the rest of us. The more observant among you will perhaps have noticed that a “Completed Games” (‘completed’ is a deliberate misspelling of ‘complet0r4t0red’) has materialised down the right hand side of the page. I’ve set this up as a secondary

This is one of those titles which I almost missed. I had a huge amount of fun playing around with the various psychic powers in a demo that was cover mounted on one of the drivel filled Xbox mags but, for some reason, I never seemed to have money on me whenever I remember about

Hm. Well, there’s been a bit of talk on UGVX.com recently about starting a Halo 2 league for crap players. Faling squarely into the crap player camp, I reckoned it might be a good idea to at least finish the single player campaign first. So, I fired it up last night and loaded my last

My gaming ennui appears to be lifting! I dusted LoTR off again last night. Long term nelefans will, of course, remember that I got stuck at that part of Helm’s Deep where you get attacked by a neverending stream of trolls with nary a save point or even a chance to change your inventory in

A spot of Neverwinter Nights on the PC. About an hour or so. It’s an ACE RPG and can be picked up as part of a double pack for a tenner. And that, I’m afraid to say, is it. I have loads of barely played games sitting on the shelf, but I seem to be

Utter crap. Edit : I’ve been asked to expand on this because I’m being very dismissive of a game a lot of people like. So: if you like your FPSes linear, unfair, slow, juddery, derivative and plotless, you’ll like Killzone. And that’s as nice as I can be about it.

Crap. Ok, that’s a bit unfair. I’m an old codger and have fond memories of the original worms (basically a reworking of Scorched Earth) and I just don’t think the 3D view works. My kids, however, seem to love it to death because it has tons of unlockables and loads of customisable stuff going on.
