Songs in the key of SEN software
I just had to test some software we have for SEN kids called InPrint. You type, and pictures appear over words. Like magic. So this happened. Disappointingly, no “trigger” image. Boo! Then, of course, came:
Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space: Episode 5 (360): COMPLETED
All done! I don’t know whether or not the final episode was shorter, or if the puzzles were just more obvious, but it didn’t seem to take me very long to save Hell (and by extension, the world). A very Soda Poppers (sorry, %$&* Poppers) heavy episode, but that was OK given the outcome. Is that spoilers? I might give Sam and Max a bit of a break now though, until the next series is found cheap somewhere!
Rayman Origins
Up with more of this sort of thing! We need more 2D platformers with HD graphics, and this looks ace! Note: This is a sponsored post
3D Classics: Kirby’s Adventure (3DS): COMPLETED!
To look at this game one way, it’s just the NES game “Kirby’s Adventure” on the 3DS. To look at this another way, it’s OH YES! “KIRBY’S ADVENTURE”! NEEEED! Yes, I have played it many times. And yes, I have completed it almost as many times. And yes, this is just that game again. But! It’s in 3D! Of course, it’s not in proper 3D. It’s just the fore- and background layers have been peeled in and out, so the …
Freakyforms (3DS)
I’m not sure if this counts as a proper game. I mean, there’s game there – you have to deliver things, carry characters, explore, collect stuff, and so on – but the main thing you do is create Formees. They’re the characters you use in the game bit. It’s a bit addictive. Here, complete with QR codes to import into the game (if you have it) are some of my Formees. Aren’t they awesome? In terms of how far I’ve …
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (360)
OK, so I didn’t get the all-singing, all-dancing Codex edition direct from the Ubishop (it was £14.99, but they cancelled my order), but I did get the standard edition for £8.28-ish, so it’s not bad. Blimey. This £18 Rule has addled my head – I used to think £30 was cheap for a game! I’ve played about the first hour or so of Brotherhood now. It carries on directly from the previous game, and there’s a quite clever sequence where …
Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space: Episode 4 (360): COMPLETED
That was ace. By far the best of the series. Unless Episode 5 beats it, of course. Loved Superball again, mainly because he’s so deadpan. The mariachis were all sorts of amaze, and the Max/Ms Bosco “relationship” was fantastic. The baby making machine, and the various possible Bosco outcomes awesome too. And, best of all, it relied upon proper, logical puzzles instead of try everything on everything puzzles. Yay!
Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space: Episode 3 (360): COMPLETED
Thankfully, this was much better than the previous episode. By several orders of magnitude. The puzzles were far better this time around, and Jurgen is amazing. He was just like you’d expect a gay emo Euro-vampire to be. I’m starting to notice, however, that every task in every game seems to be made up of three mini-tasks. I’m not the only one to notice, either – even Max makes a comment about it! Nice to see Superball back too. He …
Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space: Episode 2 (360): COMPLETED
It’s been a while, but I went back to this today. Unfortunately, I found it a bit of a slog. I know the puzzles on previous Sam & Max games have been more than a little, uh, obtuse, but I was finding this one even more illogical than before and it took ages to get through. It also wasn’t as funny as other episodes, and although I spent longer on it due to not knowing what to do, it was …
Assassin’s Creed 2 (360)
Since I was so close to getting all the achievements in the game, I went back and, er, got all the achievements. Collecting all the feathers was the real time consumer, especially since I only had 30 or so of the 100, and after that I just had to wear my prize in all the game locations (easy) and perform a few fancy fighting moves for the remaining achievements. And that’s it! I could go and get all the treasures …
Let’s Play! Hunchy
In the 80s, whenever a new, popular, game came out twenty million other white rappe…uh games that were the same appeared. Also, back in the 80s, it was quite common for us kids to think the real game was actually a clone of the clone we’d known first. For example, I had a game called Road Toad, which Frogger blatantly copied. It didn’t, of course – Road Toad was the “fake”, but that didn’t matter. See also Orbiter/Defender, Maze Chase/Painter, …
Getcha spool macs here!
I have no idea what a spool mac is. Well, I do now, by the miracle of Google. They’re a big cable reel thing. A spool, if you will. However, like Bar Gratings, I’m clearly the place to get some spool macs from. Or so the email I got this morning suggests: From: glen johnson Date: 11 November 2011 07:12 Subject: order Hello, Am Mr Glen Johnson and i will like to order spool macs from your company,can i have …
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
As my fun with Assassin’s Creed 2 is beginning to end (as in, there’s not much in it left to do!) and I picked up a massive bargain last night on the Ubisoft Shop – the Brotherhood Codex Edition for a mere fifteen Earth Pounds Sterling – I’m suddently hyped for the next in the series, despite being a little behind everyone else… Note: this is a sponsored post.
