Mr Driller 2 (GBA)

Well, I can do 500 metres pretty reliably now. Trouble is, it generally takes me all three lives to do it and I never lose a life before level 4. That’s largely, I suspect, because I haven’t got the hang of getting rid of the brown blocks that almost always protect air tanks in levels

Mr Driller 2 (GBA)

This is a weird game. It really is. It needs a combination of speed and fast reactions, puzzle solving and strategic thinking. Now that I’ve had a bit of success with 500 metre mode, I’ve gone in to tackle some of the speed missions. Basically you have to dig a certain distance within a target

500 METRE TRIUMPH! Muuuuhahahahahaha! I don’t care that I’ve finished Resident Evil 4 on hard mode. Couldn’t care less about Halo on the hardest level. I poo-poo in the smelly face of Tempest 2000 – I HAVE COMPLETED EASY MODE OF MR DRILLER 2. Phew! What a sense of satisfaction! This is why I play

Lists!

Well, the survey has been carried out by our prospective purchasers and the surveyor indicated no problems, so I expect the ’subject to survey’ offer will be replaced by a firm one next week. Our purchaser was also telling us that he has a buyer pretty much lined up for his place, so things appear

Guhh. I can get to 450 metres pretty reliably these days, but that last 50 metres seems problematic. I tend to run out of oxygen. The oxygen tanks are all tucked behind similar looking arrangements of blocks so I just need to get my head around how the puzzle works. Played this for about an

Various PSP Games

Wipeout Pure is pretty good. It’s fairly close to the original but it’s by no means an F-Zero GX beater. It is handheld, though, so that’s a positive – I have some long journeys ahead of me and a handheld anti-grav racer can only be a good thing. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories –

Hello Kitty – Roller Rescue (Playstation 2)

Had another half hour dabble with kitty today – it’s always fun beating cute things over the head with my sparkly little magic wand, so I can win new costumes. I should really make a concerted effort to play it properly, though.

Legend of Zelda – The Ocarina of Time (GameCube)

Forest Temple complet0red! Phantom Ganon GOT! And he was a right bugger too – the trick is in spotting which one of the Ganons in the painting is the genuine article. Anyhoo, I’m now off to do some housekeeping that should really have been done before the forest temple – rescuing Epona, getting the Golden

Legend of Zelda – The Ocarina of Time (GameCube)

Just a short go today cos I’m feeling somewhat under the weather. Managed to catch two ghosts, thereby igniting 50% of the torches in the main hall. I used the BOW POWAR because – yes, you heard right – FAIRY BOW GET! Ahem. Anyway, I then managed to unkink the kinky corridor and snarfed the
