I’ve lit all the fires near the gate, and that lets me now light bombs to blow up a blocked path to a cemetery. There, I had to fight a million more shadow things (which I hate having to do). Afterwards, I entered a room where I couldn’t reach the door, but finding another route led me to a chain I could jump onto and pull down, which raised the floor. Raised it too high, I might add. So I …
So I’m defending DeLite again now, this time for the murder of the CEO of the security company he used to work for. The investigation was slow going as I’d missed showing one person one piece of evidence, so was stuck for a while, but now I’m up and flying again. I did have to barge into another courtroom (complete with Payne as prosecutor and a different, but surprisingly similar, judge) to stop them sending Atmey down for theft, as …
Sssssh! Don’t tell anyone, but I played it some more this morning. I mean, if it’s really this amazing classic, I can’t go giving up after the first hour, can I? Well, it hasn’t really gotten any better, as such. I’m getting used to the controls, which is helping, but yanking Yorda (as he name has been revealed to be) around isn’t fun and killing the shadowy things is just plain rubbish. However, the puzzles are pretty ace, even if …
Well, I was right. I think. Certainly, Atmey was found to actually be Mask deMasque, but I’m not actually all that convinced any more. But, that was the end of the trial and Ron DeLite was found to be Not Guilty. However, that wasn’t the end of the chapter, as Ron has now been accused of murder! A murder which occurred at exactly the same time as the robbery he didn’t commit.
Amazing! This is actually only my third N64 purchase on the Wii Virtual Console. I have Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and now this, which says something about the sort of N64 games I’m prepared to pay for again (I have them all already on the N64). Didn’t play it for all that long, but did complete the first level three times. And could have done it twenty times more. It’s a great game!
About 5 years ago, Ico was the most amazing game ever. Well, it was if you read the right reviews, anyway. Lots of people have told me that I can’t be a proper gamer if I’ve never played it. Almost everyone seems to say it is fantastic, a real experience, and one of the best games ever made. So today, I played it for the first time ever. You know, in all the time I’d read about Ico, I never …
Since I don’t fancy the “unlimited mode” test of stamina any more (the game gets easier the longer you play, meaning the only way you can die is if you force yourself), I tried some of the timed modes and achieved scores that put me around the middle of my friends leaderboard. I then thought I’d try the “Wiz Ur Muzik” mode, and set about sampling “Run On The Spot” by Bentley Rhythm Ace. With that done, I then couldn’t …
This one is called “Light Mild”, which is boringly generic. However, the purpose of the post is to mock those at work again. MOCK!
OK, so there’s a twist already. Basically, Mask deMasque has been “caught”, but it’s not actually him. It’s someone who thinks he’s Mask deMasque. Which means that Ace Detective Luke Atmey is still my main suspect – not least because, after searching his “office”, I find he’s trying to become famous for, well, anything. I’m betting he created this character Mask deMasque so he could then “capture” him, making him famous. Or something. Apparently one of the treasures stolen by …
Four game demos tested today. Three were new on the downloads and the other has been there a while but I haven’t played it until now. Anyway – the games! Battlestar Galactica:Crap. It’s basically the same game as Wing Commander Arena, which was also crap (and by the same people) with slightly different graphics. Rubbish. Guitar Hero III:AMAZING. But then, that was obvious, yes? Exit:Would be great if it ran at least three times faster than it does. What idiot …
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…
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 …
Are you one of those poor people reading from work? Are you? Ah, poor you. I’m at a beer festival and have BEER. This beer is called Hope and Glory. It is nice and you don’t have any.
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 …
