Gnngh! Although it looks amazing, and the puzzles are great, some of it is far too frustrating to be fun. For example, today I reached a waterfall, and there’s a door which is locked. Ico can scale a wall and climb over, but Yorda can’t, so Ico has to find a way to open the door. So I left Yorda, wandered round looking for a switch, and got so far from her she got nabbed by shadow thingies and Game …
Well, this case certainly seems a lot shorter than I was expecting for a final case, which is a shame. Of course, there’s still a chance for a twist at the end, but I’m not sure how there can be one. I’ve exposed the girl’s true identity (which was blatantly obvious, but only to the player as the cases in this game are played out of order), and I know she did it, but the thing is – I know …
Having to redo the last bit no less than SEVEN times because I was one millimetre too high or low on the chain I had to jump from didn’t really help endear this game to me any further. However, I will persevere more. After all, it can’t be as bad as Kameo, and I completed that. Thankfully, the next section was much more enjoyable. I came across a tower with a reflector behind it, and had to solve some puzzles …
Now, I don’t have a PS3. And I’m not into collectable card games. But even I can see the appeal of holding monsters in your hand… This video shows you how to play. Instructions on how to, uh, “backup” cards not included.
Case Closed! I was right with who was the killer, and the reasons why. I was half expecting Violetta to come in at the last minute as a witness though, but that didn’t happen. Surely she’s got to turn up again later in the game? All that story about her and her mafia family surely needs to be explored further? Now I’m on to Case 4, which, if the conversations on ugvm and rllmuk are to be believed, is the …
I have spent much of today banging my head against my monitor trying to get Moodle (v1.8) installed at work on our 1&1-hosted webspace. It just refuses to work. The problem, is that it hangs part way through the install, when it’s doing something with MySQL tables. The page tells you to click Continue, but there is no Continue to click. The same error occurs sometimes for v1.6/7 to v1.8 upgrades, but I’m doing a fresh install. Anyway, after much …
There’s more support! This is The Dead 60s, in part of their blurred reverb-two-tone glory…
It is a bad photo of the stage just after they left. They were, well, loud. But I didn’t come to see them, I came to see Ash!
No, that’s not some new spreadsheet package from Corel, it’s this error message I just got:
Dug up some more evidence, and un-Psylocked Basil at Blue Screens, Inc. Seems Glen was a gambler (which was obvious anyway). Found a CD with the MC Bomber virus on it too, which now means I know for certain both who killed Glen, and why. Off into the next day of the trial, then, and I’m already about to prove the real killer guilty. If only I can figure out what bit of testimony to press him on, as the …
So the trial consisted of Gumshoe (who wasn’t really much use), and then Kudo (the old bloke who likes pigeons). There wasn’t anything too difficult to put together, which is good considering at the start of the trial every possible chink in the evidence was patched over by Godot. There was some confusion over the ear Glen had a radio in, and the hand he used to drink his coffee, neither of which seem that important at the moment (although …
I wasn’t going to buy this just yet, as I have a mountain of games to work through as it is, but it’s £21 at Asda, and being a first party Nintendo game is unlikely to ever be much cheaper than that. So I bought it, but then I didn’t intend on playing it, as I have a mountain of games to work through as it is, but somehow it ended up in my DS. And it is lovely. As …
