ZOMG! I’ve hit a sweet spot! I’m on chapter 11 and have to find three parts of a treasure map. I need to trade with some Indians to get one part and they want Ostrich feathers. Only bloke with Ostrich farms is an enemy so I need to conquer his island. Which means I have

I quite like this – it’s the usual quest-based RPG fare, but the addition of CPU henchmen means you don’t have to spend and time whatsoever with dribbling noobs. Especially handy as each of the AI henchmen seems to know how to play their class, which is more than can be said for the common

Desert dungeon complete! And what a beautiful piece of design it was too – not too long and quite episodic. The first section revolved around tracking down a series of Poes so much changing to and fro between Wolf and Human form (which I can do at will now, incidentally) was required. This led me

Gaaaah! They weren’t joking when they said it was hard, were they? All five of us have had a go and Tristan, our in-house SMB expert has managed to get the furthest by almost getting out of world 1-2. Umm. This is going to require some practice.

Well, fuelled by the knowledge that there’s a new paper mario game out that I’m not buying until I’ve completed some of the $hlmun of games I’ve yet to play, I had another go. So, I finally ganked the Invincible Tubba Blubba and made my way back to toad town. After a particularly silly and

I had a fairly extensive Angband addiction for more years than I care to remember and I’ve inadvertently stumbled onto it again. And it’s just as evil and unforgiving as it ever was, but also just as ACE. It never ceases to amaze me how much depth and complexity can lie beneath the surface of

Welcome to my shiny little site, all of my own! Anyway, only had a very brief go of Zelda last night – had a little wander around the haunted desert prisony place and killed a big ghostie thing but lost track of where the other three went and don’t know what to do next. Ho

Ok, so I’m 24 hours and 5 minutes into the game. And BANG! I have the Master Sword, the music starts, the storyline blooms and all of a sudden it’s not just Zelda, but it’s the most ACE Zelda ever! I’ve crossed a desert, heading to a haunted prison, and stormed a goblin camp. Up

Well, that session was just chock full of those moments that make a Zelda game special. So much so, in fact, that my rants about last night’s boss battle are nothing but a distant memory and all is forgiven. Without giving away any plot specifics, something unexpected and a little shocking happened between Midna and

Water Temple DONE! But with a nasty shock. For the first time EVER (in my experience) a Zelda dungeon was ruined by a rubbish boss. Not a stupidly hard boss, but a rubbish boss. The reason being that it broke the rules of the game. See, the thing is, with the magic blue suit you
