The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

I knew I’d cave. I had a go (about an hour or so) of Sword of Mana, but it’s not really gelling with me. It feels very like Kingdom Hearts and I just did NOT get on with that game. So, I thought I’d have a sneak peak at FF-2 – seeing as it’s on

Fun though Kirby may be, it’s no lunchtime-devouring RPG – although it will certainly fill the ‘keep in a pocket for a quick blast’ slot. Sword of Mana, on the other hand, looks like the perfect way to bridge the gap between Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II. It’s a Sqenix title, so seems outwardly

Level 2 (Ice Cream Land, I think) completored, and onto level 3. Erm. This is, er, not taking long.

No Kirby game should ever be held up as evidence that the people who make games for Nintendo are normal. Because they’re not. Kirby is quite clearly the product of too many late nights indulging in illicit substances. Basically, you control an amorphous pink blob who, as well as scuttling around on the ground, can

Complet0rated! Sadly, after twenty-odd hours of gameplay, I missed the closing bit of story / cutscene because I had to carry out taxi duties :-/ Still, there’s another couple of bloggees who are currently playing through it, so I’m sure one of them will fill me in. In the end, the final boss was more

End of Game Boss. It’s one of those bosses which has a stupid amount of health which it can completely regenerate whenever it feels like it. It’s one of those bosses whose defeat depends upon you having two very specific spells available. Which I don’t have. But I could go off and get them. But

Well, I’m on Level 3 of the Cloud Fortress at the moment. And I’ve just noticed that since getting a class upgrade, my Knight and Ninja can now cast. So, once I get this pesky Wind Crystal, I suspect I’ll have to go to the Chaos Shrine for high-noon. So, I’ll stock up on some

Class Upgrade GET! I now have a Ninj0r. So, one crystal still to go. Something to do with the Rosetta Stone, I expect, so I’d better get blethering to people. I also managed to give one of the bosses in the Hellfire Chasm a good gubbing. Took some time, though, and there’s still three left

I’ve been a busy bunny, but I’m going to jam it all into a single post. Final Fantasy. Water crystal GET! Rosetta Stone GET! Other stuff GET! I think I’m just about ready to go and gives that Cerberus a good talking to. I also need to find the Dragon King, but I dunno where

Incorporating some other stuff too. Ok, so I’ve given it a good workout and am now ready to formulate an opinion. Simply put, it’s the best gameboy available. It has a beautiful vibrant screen which isn’t afraid to show true blacks. It has well placed and comfortable buttons with a fair amount of play available.
