Made it up to Wing Fortress without too much difficulty. In fact, the only times I died were due to Super Sonic kicking in and then the floaty-slidey nature of his jumps causing me to fall down holes and stuff. Tch. Wing Fortress isn’t going too well either, as I keep having to lose my rings on purpose in order to not become Super Sonic!
You know, I do play this a lot more often than I normally report on. It’s a regular “a couple of goes before bed” game. Anyway, played two rounds with my wife, and won both. I always seem to score badly through the game as she picks up huge castles and long roads, and then make a killing with carefully planned farms.
Oh my! First skate. and now this! Amazing! Firstly, let me just say one thing: TONY HAWK AND SKATE ARE NOT THE SAME TYPE OF GAME. It really annoys me when people say that TH games are redundant now that skate. is here, and it does everything TH games should have done long ago. This is not true. Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground is, like all TH games, an arcade game. skate. is a simulation. Like how Gran Turismo isn’t Outrun …
It was only fairly recently that I completed this for the Wii. So why get it for the 360 as well? Because it’s Sonic, of course! (NB: Rule of “It’s Sonic, of course!” does not apply to Sonic Heroes, Sonic and the Secret Rings or Sonic the Hedgehog 3D) So I’ve managed to complete Chemical Plant Zone, having nabbed all the Chaos Emeralds before the end of Chemical Plant 1. It really helps not having picked Tails to accompany me. …
Picked up the final Chaos Emerald on the first Marble Garden level, and then went on to complete the game! I only died once, and annoyingly it was a completely avoidable crusher on the very last level. How irritating!
I actually bought this on the Wii’s Virtual Console on Friday when it was released, but apart from a very brief play, I didn’t really get into it right away. Today, though, I made a proper start on it (which involved deleting my saved state data, as the display was shaking horrifically, in the same way it does with Kid Chameleon, but it’s OK now), and by the end of the second act of Hydrocity Zone I’d already managed 6 …
It’s a bit tricky now, it seems. Having finished all of the 4th lab, I’m now onto the 5th (the Geo Lab, I think), and it’s a big step up. Amongst other things, so far I’ve had to navigate hundreds of angled conveyors, and split a blob into three and keep a track of all of the bits. However, I have unlocked all of the “party” games (I say “party” as, although that’s what the game calls them, they’re all …
DYSWIST? Anyway, I’ve just had a look at my site logs for this week and something slightly shocking and Yahoo-shaped seems to have occurred: It doesn’t surprise me that there have been so many individual robots in the list, but that Yahoo figure is a bit high, don’t you think? Almost 60% of my week’s hits have been from Yahoo? What are they doing? Also interesting is the decline of Internet Explorer. Firefox and Mozilla combined are now somewhat ahead …
It seems an hour and a half is the going rate for a two-player game of this. Today’s board was “Koopa’s Town”, or something named similarly, and was somewhat different to any of the other boards I’d played (even on previous Mario Party games). You see, there are hotels along the board, and as you pass them, you invest coins in them. Whoever has the most coins invested, owns the hotel. However, if the total number of coins invested (by …
Doesn’t the title of this post just fill you with thoughts of fun and excitement? Of things you love to do on warm, sunny days? Of course it does. On Friday evening, I thought (as you do), “I know! I’m going to create my own RSS feed in PHP!”. And promptly did. Hurrah! Thing is, it turned out to be a lot harder than I expected, due to the lack of full and/or correct information on the internet. Here then, …
I’m now half way through the 4th lab (Electro Lab, I think), and things are getting difficult now. There are things chasing me, blocks that move that I have to block the path of to get them to go the way I want, but they leave a trail of slime that kills me, and levels where I have to direct two lots of blobs at once are becoming more common. I’ve unlocked all bar one of the party games now …
This was just £10 in HMV today, and as I looked at the back and realised that Tant-R seemed to be, in fact, the western version of 2DO Arukotowa Sandoahru – something I didn’t know existed – so I bought it. Went through most of the games giving each a quick play. They’re a real mixed bag, with some (such as Tant-R and Virtua Racing) being little more than ports of the originals, whereas Golden Axe is a full 3D …
Just in time to fill the Resident Evil 4-shaped void in my Wii drive slot, Mercury Meltdown Revolution arrived this morning. If you want it yourself, it’s a bargainlicious £14.99 at Shopto.net at the moment. I was expecting more of the Super Monkey Ball/Kororinpa thing with this, but it doesn’t feel like them at all. In fact, it’s more puzzles and less steady-hand, and you even hold the remote 90 degrees left from those other two games. Many of the …
Seems the truck bit wasn’t so difficult in the end, although I had virtually no ammo by the end of the first part of the run, so the second bit was done almost entirely with my knife. Soon, Ashley got kidnapped for the 26536th time, and I had to fight with “It” in some caves. With almost no ammo. Then there was another “boss” fight: Krauser – who I’m guessing made an appearance in another Resident Evil game that I …
Another game tonight, this time on the King Boo level. Waluigi won this time though, nabbing the “proper” star just before I got the “hidden” star twice, resetting the castle and sending us back to the start. Bah! After that, we played the bowling and puzzle mini-games.
