Shadow Complex (360)
Going for the big 100%, but have run into a few rooms I can’t reach, and some now can’t be reached unless I restart. There’s a room that seems to need to foam gun to blast open too, but the gun doesn’t do anything so I think it’s bugged. Bah.
Shadow Complex (360): COMPLETED!
What a great game! It’s just like Metroid or Castlevania in structure, only in a near-future setting and in 2.5D. It took me just over 6 hours to complete, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Part of the appeal of these sorts of game comes from starting off weak and useless but building your powers and stats up to become unstoppable – defeating with ease the baddies that previously seemed indestructible. Another thing I like is the OCDness of …
The Outstanding itek Wireless Console: Part 1
I teased it a bit yesterday, but here’s some more information on the best games console since the original Game King – the itek! I paid a STAGGERING ¬¨¬£19.99 for this from local supermarket “Roys”. The price says ¬¨¬£39.99 – but that was how much it cost last year when they started stocking it. I knew if I waited long enough they’d drop it a bit, and I was right! Worth the wait? Of course! Unboxening It’s the law of …
Shadow Complex (360)
Two of my most favourite games serieseses ever: Castlevania and Metroid. Why do I mention them? Because Shadow Complex is just like them! OK, so it’s more modern day, and there are no aliens or vampires (yet, at least), but it’s the same mazey, upgradey, shooty platformy aceness! Hurrah!!

Little King’s Story (Wii): COMPLETED!
FINALLY. After a billion attempts, culmonating in a couple of hours play (necessary, as from final save to boss is almost an hour), I finished it. Overall, it’s an excellent Pikminy game, with just two annoying bits – a hard boss near the start, and a takes-too-long-to-reach and difficult boss at the end.
Civilisation Revolution (iPhone)
I got my first victory! Domination by 1960, using the Germans. Excellent.
Trials HD (360)
It’s Kikstart II! Only new! And shiny! Absolutely loved this tonight. Managed all Golds so far, and I’m one level from finishing Easy Mode. Addicted already.
Civilisation Revolution (iPhone)
OK, who thought this would be a good idea? Taking a game I sank well over 100 hours into on the 360 and releasing it for the iPhone. For £2.99. Idiots. So I bought it. And, although the interface is a little different, and the graphics are nearer the DS than the 360, it’s the same horribly, horribly addictive game. Only now you can’t escape it as it’s in your pocket. Gah.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Reshelled (360): COMPLETED!
I powered up my 360 for the first time in what seems like forever just to download and play this yesterday. I didn’t play for very long, but then today I completed it. Already. Not that I really expected any less, though. I mean, it’s a pretty short game. I just didn’t expect it to be quite so easy, that’s all. Inly the final boss was any sort of challenge, and even he wasn’t too difficult. But it looks amazing, …
More Destroy My Gems “fun”
And still not real explanation as to what it’s all about. Tch, eh? This lovely picture comes from the artilicious Couk. Look at his site. He’s very good, if a little wrong in his head. Bless.
Little King’s Story (Wii)
The last few times I’ve played this, I’ve managed to reach the end of game boss. The problem is, he’s almost an hour from the previous save point and although if you die, you can continue from the boss again, if you have to stop playing and turn off your Wii, you’re stuffed. So I’ve been stuffed three times now. Bah.
Rubbish Microsoft boxart
Just look at it! It looks like the sort of thing 11 year olds do when they’re learning the basics of DTP.
