Ok, girly moment. Dark dark room. I can hear snufflings and stuff. Not good. I wish I could hold a gun and a torch at the same time. Oh well, nowt for it. Should I chance a quick switch to the flashlight? I can definitely hear something. Flick on the torch. BIG DEAD THING COMING

There’s only really six things to say about Doom 3 on Xbox. Briefly, they are: Dark Scary Dark Beautifully rendered Dark Tense By God, though – what a game. I’ve only just got back to Marine HQ after all hell breaking loose (literally) down in the depths of the base. Very *very* atmospheric game, and

Well, I wasn’t sure if I’d like this but I had a suspicion I would, what with being a little on the nerdy side with regard to Star Wars. Not mainstream nerdy, I have to say – I don’t think Episodes I and II are worse than the original trilogy – I fully believe they’re

Otherwise known as Timesplitters 2. My wee lad and I have been blowing seven shades of monkey-bits out of each on a custom map. He’s getting really good at it as well. It’s one of those titles that just never seems to get tired – probably cos there’s so much to unlock, the game modes

Not really much to say here except it’s a wonderful RPG that I keep going back to for a quick bash. I’m sure purists will rant and rave at the frenzied (i.e. not turn based) battles but hey – what good are purists if they can’t be irked?

This was a bit of a risky purchase. It’s only been out a couple of weeks and the box in Game was wreathed with overlapping stickers saying “£39.99”, “£29.99”, and “£19.99”. The only one missing was the one saying “Please, for the love of God, will someone buy this?” Anyway – I did. And I’m

Just one more go, I thought. Just to convince myself that it’s really really dull. Three hours later and I’m still at it. Gaaaaah – it has me hooked just as badly as first time around. I’m going to have to ration time very carefully, methinks, because I just don’t have that kinda of time

This one’s been sitting unopened on the shelf for ages and thought I’d give it a go. It’s fab – just as good as the first one, although I am being mildly irritated by the sluggishness of the inventory/journal/etc pages. Probably another post-RE4 hangup. It’s been such a long time since a game came along

As it happens, I decided on Final Fantasy VII, in the end. I haven’t given this game anywhere near the time it deserves, so I’ve decided to take my time and trawl through the whole thing. It is looking a little dated, of course, but it doesn’t seem to matter. I’ve only just sailed across

I’ve just remembered! I have sealed copies of Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX here….. ……and I’ve only played about the first hour of VII and none of the rest. Could this be that rainy day I’ve been putting off for ages?
