The 2010 Gaming Expenditure Horror

  Leave a comment

I’ve been tracking which games I play, on my Gaming Diary, for 6 years now. It’s helped me realise how many different games I play, and how many I complete. This year, however, I’ve additionally started tracking the games I buy, and how much I paid for them – the aim being to scare myself into how much I spend on gaming. Thing is, just knowing that it’s logged has actually made me more frugal with my spending. Not only …

2009: The Games

  Leave a comment

I was surprised that, despite having a baby at Christmas last year, I was still able to play games in 2009. It seems babies sleep! Not that I’d have imagined that in our first few days with her at home. More surprising, is that I’ve somehow managed to complete a total of 43 games in the last 12 months. In 2008, I “only” completed 33. But the best games of 2009? That’s an ask, isn’t it? Mainly because I’m pretty …

Super Monkey Ball: Touch and Roll (DS)

Leave a comment

Since today is Munkie Day (no really – it is), I thought I should honour it with an inaugoral play of Super Monkey Ball. And, since my DS is the consol de moment, what better than Touch and Roll? Which, as I now recall, is too sodding hard. I have the Volcano World, on which I get stuck on level 7 or 8, and then Ice World where I got to level 9 or 10, and lost 16 lives. It’s …

Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll (DS)

1 comment

Had a go at completing two more worlds today, and failed. I managed to get as far as the last level on the Volcano World, but lost some 10 lives or more there failing to do it. Much the same story for Ice Lolly Land, although I didn’t have so many lives left at the end but failed to finish it anyway. The really narrow path at the end of the course got me every single time. Played Monkey Bowling …

Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll (DS)

Leave a comment

Finished another world today, without any difficulty at all. Not sure how I managed that, as it was one I was previously stuck on. Even had about ten lives left at the end of it. Didn’t do so well on the end game thing though – only 193 bananas. Played Monkey Bowling Challenge Super Happy Fun Mode for a bit then, and completed the first level. Tried the second level, but ran out of “throws”, so failed.

Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll (DS)

Leave a comment

Completed another two “worlds” today, having spent ages and ages trying to get past the Starfish level. It’s just like one of the levels in Super Monkey Ball 2 on the Gamecube (as, in fact, many levels are), but for some reason, it’s $hlmun times harder on the DS game. I think I might be due to the gap in the “star” being narrower, and the star stopping for a shorter time. Anyway, with that level out of the way, …

Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll (DS)

Just a brief play today. Tried the third world (jungle, or something, i think) and got stuck on a level right out of Super Monkey Ball 2 on the Gamecube. It’s called Starfish, and is bloody hard. Went back to the Desert World instead, and managed to complete it with ease this time, and got 239/500 bananas in the End Of Game Credits Game.

Why Sega should just give up and die

  / Leave a comment

When I got my Megadrive in the early 1990s, it was for one single game – Sonic the Hedgehog. I’d played it often at the local game shop, and didn’t just want it, I needed it. Once I had my own Sega console to play it on, I was hooked on Sega games. In fact, for a good decade or so, I loved pretty much all of Sega’s major-title output – I suppose I was a Sega Fanboy (although Mario …

Tearaway (Vita): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

When Little Big Planet was announced, there was a lot of excitement over how innovative and clever and creative it was. And it was all those things, and it looked fantastic and everything. Then we all realised that it was just a platformer with horrible physics and a rubbish, game breaking and unnecessary third dimension. The fact that virtually all of the user made levels don’t bother with any level depth speaks volumes. Despite the lovely narration by Stephen Fry, …

3DS Game Need List

  / Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I posted up a list of games I need. Sorry, NEED. Some would say there aren’t many 3DS games out recently or in the next 12 months, which, if true, makes me wonder which bit of me made all these up: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Marvel Pinball Heroes of Ruin Professor Layton & the Mask of Miracle New Super Mario Bros 2 Luigi’s Mansion 2 Harvest Moon Fire Emblem Rayman Origins Epic Mickey Paper Mario Layton …

Irritating and Unnecessary Gaming Clichés

3 Comments

I’ve been gaming for a long time. This is obvious to anyone who has perused the rest of my site (the Gaming Diary and Museum both give clues to this). I’ve played a lot of games. Hundreds. Thousands, in fact. It would be naïve to assume that, having played so many games, gaming ideas are only ever used once, and so each game is an entirely unique experience. This is, of course, not true. Some things come up all the …

It’s Super Monkey Ball, only more tilty! Sort of. It’s technically easier than Super Monkey Ball as there isn’t really a time limit. You do have to collect crystals, however, but if you die then any already collected are kept, making the next attempt a bit easier. What I mean by “more tilty” is, well, exactly that. In The Game With Monkeys In, you only tilt the controller a small way in any direction, and there’s a limit to how …
