Grabbed by the Ghoulies (Xbox)

This is another one of those cracking titles that was buried under an avalanche of sub-standard sports titles and rehashed FPSen on release day. I’ve been going back to this game for years now – it’s a return to Rare’s roots. It plays not entirely unlike a combination of robotron and Atic Atac with some

Resident Evil 4: Gamecube

Mohh – finally managed to rescue the goil, although I have to say that ferrying the useless beggar around the place is a little tiresome. Having said that, I only actually played alongside the girl for a few minutes, so I’ll reserve judgement for now.

Stupid Stuff On Things You Buy

Plenitude Action Liposomes. Nutrigrain. Ambi-pur Liquifresh. Excuse me? It’s the new black! Somewhere, some advertising nob-end decided “Hey, I know! Let’s advertise all our products by making up new words! We could just chop up bits of existing words and stick em together to make new ones!” So, I have a quest – I’m sitting

Sorry folks

I haven’t done a single bit of remake coding for ages – just got too many other things to do. This doesn’t mean that Dynamite Dan and Wizards Lair are off, by any means – they’re not. They’re just two of the many things I have bubbling away on the stove right now. So where

The lake boss is one of the most inventive bosses I’ve come across in a long time, and the graphical effects used to depict the ongoing thunderstorm are simply jaw dropping.

Lugaru (Macintosh)

This is a well kept secret! It’s a shareware game where you play an avenging ninja bunny and get to pick fights with evil bunnies and wolves. Fair enough, it’s a little lacking in the modern graphics department, but it does boast some lovely matrix stylee blurry replays not to mention the best combat system

Harvest Moon – again

I have a horsey! It’s called Laura (thanks, Harmony). It makes galloping about town a bit quicker, that’s for sure. And, I’ve discovered that Nami likes flowers…..

Harvest Moon – A Wonderful Life (Gamecube)

…and this is my “during the day” game. And it’s magnificent still. I’ve been playing on-and-off since release a year ago and it just hasn’t lost any of its charm. Whether it’s charging about raising crops, wooing girlies, or just sitting fishing it’s fab 🙂 I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and get a
