On a cheerier note, I played through the first few levels of Star Fox Adventures today. It gets dissed a lot due to it’s easiness and repetitive structure (and I guess it’s guilty on both counts) but it has a nice game mechanic – it’s fun just mucking around in the world. One thing that

It’s not often I get in a temper tantrum through frustration, but Third Age has done it. I’m playing it on hard mode because anything less than that is just stupidly non challenging. Up till now, it’s all been going swimmingly except the developers have obviously decided it’s not hard enough. Solution? Improving the enemy

The wormtongue us a wormfeast. Ignoring him completely and focussing on the Uruk-Hai is the way to go 🙂

It’s not as though he’s tough, or anything, just that he has two dirty great seemingly-indestructible Uruk Hai henchmen. Not to worry, though – I’ll get him tonight. Resident Evil 4 is on the way – I can see poor old Third Age taking a break for a day or two 🙂

Top tip – ignore everything else and take out the Uruks. Ents can be helpful.

Aaaargh! Ok, big hard fight with swarms of Orcs lurching across a bridge. Not too bad – thankfully I have an Elf who can revive KO’d characters. The battle out of the way, something very similar happens a few steps later. So, I’ve battled my way along to the end of the bridge only to

Worth a quick mentioned. Although it’s essentially as linear as the tunnels of Moria, the area gives a really vivid impression of wide rolling countryside and a true sense of traveling from village to village. Very pretty.

Another couple of hours in and I’m in Rohan – 30% complete. Couple of things I should have mentioned – I’m playing the gamecube version. It’s stunning, graphically, but with a touch of slowdown here and there. I’ve heard that the PS2 version crawls at a few points – hardly surprising given the complexity of

Fired up for 45 minutes or so to have a quick blast around a couple of tracks. The nice thing about this game is that we can all play it, including Debbie and Harmony (who is only 4). I still find the whole game utterly incomprehensible though. Pretty though.
