Golden Sun (Switch): COMPLETED!

Many years ago, so long ago that my Gaming Diary didn’t even exist, I played Golden Sun on my Game Boy Advance. It was great. At least, I remember it being great, but I remember very little about the actual events in the game. I recall the catastrophe at the start, and the village you’re in, and that your friend goes missing and it turns out later on he’s working with (under duress) the bad guys. I remember there was …

Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (Steam Deck): COMPLETED!

Persona! There we go. I was going to try not to mention it at all but I realised that would be impossible so thought I’d just come straight out with it. Yes indeed: Tokyo Xanadu is very Persona. Perhaps that is why I enjoyed it so much. So, stop me when you’ve heard this one before. Some school children who ordinarily wouldn’t mix with each other because one is really shy and one is perceived to be a bully and …

Things I’ve been playing recently

Fantasy Life (3DS) It’s like 8 RPGs in one! I chose my first life to be a Paladin, applying the logic that any combat required in the other lives may benefit from my skills as a trained killer. Or something. I’m not very far in, only a couple of hours, but I’m already engrossed in the seemingly endless number of sidequests (which, unlike most RPGs, actually affect your progression in the game in a big way), and the game is …

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (360)

Cripes. That was a bit of a long quest! Basically, I’ve now finished the Thieves Guild questline (50 more Gamerpoints got, too), but can’t say too much for fear of spoilers. What I will say, however, is there’s a huge trek through the Imperial City sewers, then through “The Old Way”, a secret passage to underneath the palace, then through the palace dungeons, and finally some sneaking inside the palace. Oh yes, and then you have to get out again. …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

Swaptastic fetchquest time! Just like Seasons, you need to take item A to person B to get item C to take to person D to get item E, etc. And, at the end, I got the Nobel Sword for my troubles. However, since I have the Secret to get the Master Sword, I inputted that and now have the most powerful sword in the game. That should make things a bit easier here on in! Also on my travels, I …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

First off, I created a new game by linking Seasons to Ages. Although I’d hoped that this would give me teh magic powaz from Seasons at the start of my quest, it didn’t. Rubbish. It did, however, continue the story. Twinrova, some baddies I met in Seasons, appeared and said some stuff about Onox not dying in vain, and some flames being lit so that the Great King can be summoned. Or something. And then it was off into the …
