Although I still have quite a lot of game to work through, I managed to complete the rest of the route I was taking, netting me some gamerpoints and, most importantly, the end of game credits. Now to make a start on playing through some of the other routes, which seem bloody hard. Wish me luck.
Really made some progress on this tonight. Completed about 12 or so races, which takes me to just three races away from the bottom right of the map. I’ve unlocked another car (a Pac-Man one), but I don’t want to use it as it’s one of them non-standard drift ones, and I can’t cope with them.
Nooooo! Project Gotham has broken it! The handling on Project Gotham is so completely different, that I really struggled to control my Kilik Starnose thingie and it’s wierd drifting mechanism. Try as I might, I just couldn’t complete one of the tracks. So, I changed my plan to do a “loop” on the map into a plan to make my way across the bottom of the map to the right. This meant that I could use my Gaplus car instead, …
Worked my way through more tracks today (with the Starnose, which took ages to get used to as far as drifting is concerned), completed another “circuit”, and unlocked another car – the Gaplus car. ACE. When you drive it, you get a remix of the Galaga (or, I suspect Gaplus) music. Which is also ACE.
It’s cheapy-cheap at Play, which is where I got it, but then realised I could have saved 15p by buying from Play-Asia. Bah. Make not the same mistake! I didn’t really know what to expect. All of the other Ridge Racers have left me cold, and the DS version is one of the worst games ever created, but this, is actually pretty good. In fact, it’s not far off Outrun 2 good. Well, it may perhaps be 75% of the …
This actually arrived on Monday, but since I didn’t have a 3DS at the time, all I could do was look at it and lick the box. I have never really been a big fan of Ridge Racer, but I’m finding this fun. The 3D is incredibly good, and really adds to the game, but the graphics are a little disappointing. They don’t bother me, and they’re clearly streets ahead of Ridge Racer DS, but they’re not as impressive as …

Even though I broke my finger opening the box for this when it arrived today, I still decided to give it a go. My first thought is “it’s not as good as PGR2“, mainly due to having all the supercars from the off. I liked having all the different classes of car to work through, but it seems stupid that you might as well just buy a fast car and that’s it. The game even seems to adjust the difficulty …
<< Previous (The Gameking) Gameking Games Readers without short-term memory problems will recall that I bought 13 games to go with my Gameking. Each and every one is special in its own special way. Special as in “special needs”, naturally. Firstly, a few points about Gameking games. The cartridges are strikingly familiar to anyone who has ever played on a Game Boy, since they’re exactly the same as Game Boy cartridges. Almost, anyway – instead of “Game Boy” they say …
Of every games console or computer I’ve ever owned, the Sega Mega Drive is probably my favourite. It was my first console, and the one I own most games for. It also saw me through most of university, despite the N64, Saturn and PS1 all having just come out – I obviously didn’t have any money to buy them. It wasn’t until the end of 1999 that I bought something newer, meaning I’d had a full 8 years of Megadriving. …
With my new-found ability to download game demos to my PSP, I put a load on to play today. Space Invaders ExtremeExcellent! It’s exactly what the title suggests – Space Invaders, only Extreme! It’s a lot like the DS Space Invaders game from a couple of years ago, but with more power-ups and a combo system. And bonus levels. Apparently there’s a DS version of this PSP title too, which is supposedly even better. LocoRocoSeveral demos, in fact. I really …
