Bayonetta (Wii U)
I bought this as part of the Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 twin pack ages ago, but never got round to actually playing it. I have played demos of both games in the past, and quite enjoyed them, so I was pretty sure I’d like the full games. A naked Sue Perkins with magic hair with guns on her shoes shooting demons from heaven? What’s not to love? I’m not very far in yet. I’ve played the prologue (well, I say …
Hatoful Boyfriend (Vita): COMPLETED!
When I looked up how long a game this is, I read it took about 8 hours to finish. So imagine my surprise when I reached the end credits in about 50 minutes. Afterwards, it became clear that I got just one of many endings. Presumably my choices affect which bird I end up becoming close to, and since I spent all my time choosing the library, I got Nageki’s ending. Nageki who was… a ghost. WoooOOOO! Oh, spoiler. Sorry. …
Thomas Was Alone: Benjamin’s Flight (Vita): COMPLETED!
It has to be said that there were two things harder than the actual game itself, but related to the game itself. Number one: actually getting the damn game to load. I had to download the Benji DLC again, restart the Vita, and sacrifice several virgin goats just to get as far as the menu screen. Number two: actually figuring out how to play the DLC. Turns out you have to choose to replay a scenario and then pick Episode …
Grim Fandango Remastered (PS4/Vita): COMPLETED!
Interest started to wane the closer to the end I got. Puzzles continued to make less and less sense, and even the interest with following the plot was becoming difficult as it was taking longer and longer to solve the puzzles so the story was frequently put into stasis for long periods. By the end it had become so drawn out I’d forgotten half the characters and the secretary, Meche and the woman from the hipster club all blurred into …
White Walls – A Short Story
He came to and blinked, slowly. The sun blazed in through the window and his head was pounding. He tried hard to focus, but his eyes refused to cooperate, a combination of the bright light searing his retinas and a peculiar bobbing sensation. Why was everything slowly moving by itself, he thought with much confusion. He tried to get up, but his limbs flailed uselessly. His legs felt moist, the floor had a strange softness and he simply couldn’t coordinate …

Grim Fandango Remastered (PS4)
Well, Rubacava was annoying. I had two main issues: the first was the disjointed way all the locations fit together (meaning I kept getting lost), and the second was how the hell was I supposed to know there were two ticket booths that look identical but one is sort of hidden and you can only progress if you use that one. Gah! Some of the puzzles I nailed just fine, but others were frustrating in that I knew the solution but …
Lego Jurassic World (PS4)
And still we continue with this! Almost 70% complete now, with most of the red bricks and amber bricks collected, and all bar about 6 characters to be unlocked. We came across both the Aviary and the Mosasaurus tank recently, when we’d somehow totally missed them before. That meant we then has to go and find some actual pterosaurs and a Mosasaurus to make use of them, though. Much of what is left is now redoing all the levels and …
