Castlevania – Dawn of Sorrow (DS)

Dawn of sorrow is a very pretty game – the further I get the prettier it seems to become – lots of pseudo 3d stuff going on and beautiful painted sprites. So I thought I’d put in some screenshots since it’s a while since I’ve done that. All in all, a lovely game. Trouble is,

Castlevania – Dawn of Sorrow (Nintendo DS)

Hah! Well, in response to deKay’s unwarranted abuse, I’ve pwn0rised the clock tower and gubbed Paranoia. There’s a downside though – now I can hop through mirrors, so I’m going to have to rummage through the whole castle looking for all the bits I’ve missed. I have to say, the pseudo-plasma graphical effect when you’re

BBC NEWS | Business | Patent row could hit MP3 industry

This is so far beyond irony that it’s actually painful. To think that the biggest advocates of immoral software patenting are being stung by their own greed is a much needed indication that there is some justice in the world after all 🙂 Perhaps Microsoft should have spent more time keeping its own house in

Castlevania – Dawn of Sorrow (DS)

Ok, so after gubbing the dirty great zombie dinosaur thing, I wandered around in vain for – ohhh – a good couple of hours, unsure what to do next. Then I remembered that the room where the boss dies isn’t actually the boss room, but at the very bottom of the tower. So, much double-jumping

On Oobits.

An Oobit, for those who may not be aware of the existence of such things, is quite literally two halves of a dug. Not neccesarily two halves of the same dug – any auld dug will do. And it’s not a dog, it’s a dug. The Oobit in question is half of a wee black

Castlevania – Dawn of Sorrow (DS)

Ha! The beast is dead! Dispatched forthwith with, I have to say, a scary amount of violence on my part. Must be all that pent up rage and frustration or something. Anyhoo, the deed is done but, other than a nifty new ability (to shoot big scary Astro-boy style laser blasts) I don’t seem to

Castlevania – Dawn of Sorrow (DS)

This is him. This is where I left off the last time. This guy is a royal pain in the neck. A quick check of my stats at lunchtime tells me I’m level 31, pretty poorly equipped and low on potions. The chances of going head-to-head with the infamous zombie-dino-thingy are pretty slim as it
