I’m a sucker for Resident Evil. We’ve already established that, more than once. So it’s only right that I should wax lyrical and enthuse A LOT about a handheld version. Deadly Silence has two modes. The first is a straight port of the PS1 version (i.e. the original) and the second, Deadly Silence, is a

It’s ACE! It’s mental madness though. Imagine a real time strategy game. Then imagine it as a direct-control third person shooter. With vehicles. Then make it all cartoony. That’s pretty much Battalion Wars. I’ve only done the first few missions so far, but my fingers are nearly bleeding with frenzied button pressing. Graphically, the game

Bah! 109 bells for white turnips. That’s RUBBISH! I’m beginning to think Nook and Joan are in cahoots :-/ Did some low-scale deforestation this morning, and replaced a load of the deciduous trees with nice fruit trees. And my palm has grown successfully. I must resist the temptation to sell the coconuts, though, cos I

Here they are – Trollbert and Clawbert, during a little expedition from Crossroads to Ogrimmar. I’m becoming strangely attached to little clawby – he’s a cheerful wee chap.

Another of those ‘I really should give this a go’ games. Only done the first five (largely tutorial) missions. Just really saying I’ve started, is all. It’s a strange thing about this series. When I actually play advance wars, I love it to death. It just seems really hard to get around to actually picking

Ok, ok, so it’s been out for three years, but it’s one of those ‘I really should play this at some point’ games. I bought it on release date and it was replaced by our insurance (after the house fire) two years ago and, well, it’s still in the shrink wrap. First: It’s gorgeous. Dear

It is, you know. I know this. I know this for a fact. How do I know it? Well, let me explain. You see, I bought the DVD of King Kong from Tesco last night. Unfortunately, before I can watch it, I have to sit through a three minute UNSKIPPABLE ‘Piracy Is A Crime’ FUD-commercial.

Well, some progress at last. The assurance of support bond was wired to Australia today, so our bank account is several thousand pounds lighter, but it’s one more milestone passed. Things are looking good on the house front. We really just have the medicals to pay for and that’s us. Here’s hoping for some feedback

Humph. Sold my turnips this morning. 177 bells each – not great, but the highest it’s been all week. I just know Nook will drop the price after lunch so I thought I’d quit while I was ahead. If he goes up to 500 bells this afternoon, I’ll NOT be pleased.

it didn’t quite go according to plan. Essentially, the sale has been delayed a week to allow the buyers to sort out some issues they have. It will be going ahead next week, though. Either that or it’ll be going back on the market.
