Phoenix Wright 3: Trials and Tribulations (DS)

Hurrah! Case 1 WON! I’m surprised, actually, that nothing more was made of the umbrella that Doug was holding, as it was very much like Dollie’s… anyway. So Case 2 then. So far, I’m convinced the Ace Detective bloke (“Luke Atmey” – ha!) is actually the same person as Mask deMasque. The urn (Mystic Ami’s urn, from Phoenix Wright 2) has been nicked, and Adrian Andrews is back too. Not a murder then? Well, yet…

On the Internet at the Dawn of Time #1

As an addition to my other “dawn of time” occasionals, I thought I’d bring you this – a contribution to the BBC’s “h2g2”. As you may know, h2g2 was set up to be an actual real version of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (hence the name). In fact, it pretty much became a forerunner to Wikipedia, and in the last few years it seems to have been mostly abandoned in favour of it. Anyway, In 1996 I came up …

Phoenix Wright 3: Trials and Tribulations (DS)

This isn’t really a suitable game to play in short bursts. It certainly isn’t how I played the previous two in the series, anyway, but for some reason I’ve only been grabbing 30 minutes here and there. It’ll make the game last longer, for sure, but it’s also making remembering facts so as to find contradictions somewhat harder. Maybe I need a notebook? Wait! Make the next game have a built-in notebook like in Hotel Dusk! Genius! Anyway, I’ve got …

MySims (Wii)

Four stars get! After spending some time finishing off the arcade cabinets for Vic Vector (and being disappointed that despite their varying themes, they all only played Plane vs Eye), and providing the sushi chef with a karaoke machine, I was awarded the fourth star. Hurrah! I could then “unlock” the padlocks on assorted doors, letting me explore some new areas, like the scrap car yard, the beach (where I spent ages fishing) and a few more caves. I managed …

MySims (Wii)

Today’s play was a frenzy of building items for people. Lots of items. Lots and lots of items. Sadly, not enough items though, as I still haven’t reached a 4 star rating. It didn’t help that I had to go and find a billion octopuseseseseii, and they’re pretty rare, coming up out one time in ten when you’re fishing in the lake. Anyway, Ms Nicole is fully sorted, and I think (hope!) that Sushi Chef and Vic Vector are both …

Bioshock (360)

So I went back to the game to find other stuff. I reloaded the save from just before taking the lift to the final boss, then made my way back through the game. Went to Fort Frolic first of all to spend all my money on the slot machines (although I got it all back when I hit the jackpot, as required for an achievement), and then I set about exploring elsewhere for more “Power to the People” weapon upgrade …

Bioshock (360): COMPLETED!

I was right – there was very little else to do. I had to assemble the parts of a Big Daddy for reasons I can’t really say, and then with the help of a Little Sister I made it into a museum, where Fontaine was waiting for me. Well, once I’d got through the museum, anyway. Unfortunately, the museum was pretty much an escort mission, which I hate. You have to stop a Little Sister from being killed as she …

Bioshock (360)

With everything done in Olympus Heights, it was off to Apollo Square (the run down part of town) to find some more formula. That wasn’t too difficult, but I’m getting a little concerned I’m very close to the end of the game now and haven’t taken all the photos I could have done. Managed to get the last shots of the Little Sisters and turrets, but I’ve hardly taken pictures of the security cameras at all. Anyway, found Atlas’ hideout …

Phoenix Wright 3: Trials and Tribulations (DS)

Yes, it is going very slow. Partly because I’m not playing for long each sitting, and partly just because that’s how the game is. Still great so far though! Phoenix has been dropped in it a bit by his girlfriend Dottie, who was supposed to be defending him but ended up making it worse. Mind you, I’m with Mia in that she was clearly pretending to cover for him, and now she’s lying. Mia doesn’t like her either, as she …

Bioshock (360)

With the bomb in the core, Ryan decided it was best to just completely destroy Rapture. Obviously. Not only that, but when I found him, he made me kill him. Very odd. Then… a big fat spoiler. Which makes the next bit somewhat hard to mention, really. I got out of Ryan’s office, and met up with Tenenbaum and all the Little Sisters. More revelations occurred, and it now seems that Fontaine (who isn’t dead after all) is the guy …
