Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

Swaptastic fetchquest time! Just like Seasons, you need to take item A to person B to get item C to take to person D to get item E, etc. And, at the end, I got the Nobel Sword for my troubles. However, since I have the Secret to get the Master Sword, I inputted that and now have the most powerful sword in the game. That should make things a bit easier here on in! Also on my travels, I …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages And Seasons

Ages/Seasons Double Team Attack Fight! Win! Or something. Decided to go back to Seasons and tell the necessary people all these Secrets I’ve been finding in Ages. That meant trying to remember how to get anywhere in Holodrum, which I found harder than I thought I would. My memory is rubbish. Anyway, I’ve sorted out most of them. On my travels I’ve picked up a larger Ring Box (so I can now carry 5 rings), gained the Mirror Shield, and …

Pro Evolution Soccer 4

Just one game today – online against someone on my friends list. He played as England, I played as Japan. I won 4-0. How embarrasing for him. Of course, he then complained that he didn’t know about the run and shoot buttons and made up other feeble excuses during a post-match IRC discussion. Him == CRAP. FACT.

Burnout 3

Does no-one play this online any more? All I could find were some idiot children trying to put on fake accents, and moaning that everyone else was cheating every time they were overtaken.

Need For Speed Underground 2

Put this on for a quick try. What an awful, awful game. Played a couple of races against the CPU, then some Drag races against a friend. What a stupid mode that is – you don’t even have to steer round corners! Then did a Sprint race, which was equally crap. Also tried Career mode, but the storyline (yes, a storyline) is pants and superfluous to the racing. As is everything else, even. And the graphics are rubbish. Lets never …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

Defeated the end boss in Dungeon 6, and was then informed that Queen Ambi had left her palace, and I could try to rescue Nayru, the Oracle of Ages. So, off I went. Some minor Splinter Celling took place on the way in, but I soon found her. She was still possessed by Veran, however, so killing him wasn’t possible without hurt her – or so it seemed until use of my Mystery Seeds and Switch Hook thingie proved otherwise. …

Pac-Pix

There is actually a bit more to this game than just drawing Pac-Man, it seems. After completing the first four chapters, I can now draw multi-use arrows – they burst bubbles, hit switches, and stun ghosts. I’ve also killed two”bosses” as well – one which required me to draw larger and larger Pac-Mans (Men?) to eat it, and another one that involved eating his eyes. Obviously. I had a poke (literally) around the extra bits, and ended up in the …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

It turns out there are two Mermaid’s Caves. Well, one, technically – in the Past and the Present. And holes you blow in walls in the past affect the cave in the present too. Sadly, I needed another key to get into the cave in the past (it’s the same lock, so why two keys?), so I had to find that first. Two caves means two maps and compasseseseses too. There are a few four dimensional puzzles to contend with …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

More wandering aimlessly around Rolling Ridge finally led me to the Goron Dance Hall. Oh yes. Dancing. Winning the dancing contest thing gained me a Goron Brotherhood badge which lets me go past a Goron guard. I knew where I needed to go, but there’s a locked door. The owl next to it says something cryptic about a mermaid’s secret, and, since there is a mermaid statue in Lynna City, I went off there. Wild goose chase, it was, as …

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

The problem with this game, is, if you leave yourself in a dungeon and then don’t play for a day or so, you get completely lost. So, almosy half an hour’s play was simply trying to remember what I was doing and where I was going. Anyway, the end boss in Dungeon 5 was pretty simple, and completely different to every other Zelda boss I can recall. It’s more of a puzzle than a boss, in fact. He’s a cloud …

Pac-Pix

Just a quick go of this to see what it’s like. It’s like, er, Pac-Man, only not. It seems fun, if a little repetitive so far. Completed the first chapter and turned it off for now.

Electroplankton

It isn’t technically a game. You play it, but it isn’t a game. It isn’t really a toy either, as it is too much like a game. Mind you, it isn’t really a musical instrument, as it’s more like a toy. There are no levels. No scores. No power-ups. No lives. No bosses. No killing, collecting, jumping, shooting or driving. Just “things” to press and move. And they vibrate. Or jangle. Or whizz or bang or tinkle or hum or …
