Final Fantasy XIII — still going

Posted by Greg On June - 27 - 2010 2 Comments

When do I get to the good bit? I took a break from Final Fantasy XIII to play Red Dead Redemption (I’ll write up something on that eventually) but recently decided to return to Cocoon to see if I couldn’t push through. What is really starting to drag about FF is that I’m still in  [ Read More ]

After my initial return to the world of Kratos I’ve pretty much dropped everything else to stat playing this in the three or four minutes I have spare each day.  Whilst fleeting those minutes are full of bloody awesomeness and innovative use of the PS3 controller to kill people. The story goes like this, the  [ Read More ]

Hair today, Stanley Cup winner tomorrow

Posted by Lee On April - 3 - 2010 2 Comments

Some people questioned the reasoning behind adjusting my hair to resemble my avatar in NHL10. Some people suggested it would be easier to change the avatar to resemble me. Some people thought that it would make no difference. To those doubters I give you this: Yes that’s right in a marathon Good Friday hockey session  [ Read More ]

So long Rapture – for now

When we last met our Bioshock hero, he was on his way towards the last two levels of the game. Spoilers : Show ▼ Dressing as a Big Daddy to appear pleasant to Little Sisters so that will get me to Fontaine was a thrilling experience. I haven’t been a fan of the “protect this  [ Read More ]

Yes those are blue Riddick goggles, no there's no real story there

If you haven’t yet you should really go and check out part one before reading this part.  Or not.  I don’t care. Fine. The story so far is that in order to be closer to my NHL 10 ice hockey avatar I’m attempting to change my hair to match his ‘dirty blonde’ hair. Why wouldn’t  [ Read More ]

Adventures in Ice Hockey Part 1

Of course it's not really a traditional light bulb above my head it's one of those eco green ones, still...

You know I’m all about the scientific method when it comes to games and NHL10 is no exception: I’m mean you’re kidding right!?!? You can see a subtle difference in the colour but I completely wasted an evening on this??? A lesser man would abandon this course of action, maybe consider himself lucky that nothing  [ Read More ]

Modern Warfare 2 - that looks just like me!

I know I’m a latecomer to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but I wanted to play the first one before forking out my fairly limited funds on the sequel despite assurances from some very good sources that it was well worth it. Still I thought it would be good to play the series properly  [ Read More ]

Arcadia

It has been a little while since I picked up Bioshock again. I’ve felt pressure to get through it so I can get on to Bioshock 2. I’m unwilling to start that one until I can experience the ending of the first game first-hand. It seems the time away has done me some good. The  [ Read More ]

Warmongering

Posted by Greg On March - 8 - 2010 1 Comment

God of War I & II were very popular genre-defining games on the PS2 platform. I’d heard of them in passing but never played or seen one in action before. The excitement and anticipation surrounding the upcoming release of God of War III for PS3, however, encouraged me to look into it further. For the  [ Read More ]
