Play Want Bin Expense: 2016-05-16
Remember Assassin’s Creed Unity? I had totally forgotten about it. Also: lots of retro stuff again! Play Sonic 3 & Knuckles (MD) Which I completed soon after posting about it last week. It was excellent, but then, Sonic 3 and Knuckles was always excellent – it’s the best Mega Drive game and by extension, one of the best 16bit games ever made. Yes, it’s better than Sonic 2. HYRULE WARRIORS (Wii U) Played through a few more missions on the …
Some more of my Super Mario Maker levels
Still haven’t figured out how to get to play the flyswatting game.

Things I’ve been playing recently
Roundup! Mega Man 7 (Wii U) It’s been a few months since I started Mega Man 7. I think, after ploughing through Mega Mans 1-6 I may have had a bit of Mega Man burnout, and I was a bit disappointed with 7 anyway as it didn’t feel right. Anyway, I’m back on it now and have taken down the first lot of four Robot Masters. I’m enjoying it, and it does feel more like the NES games than it …
Things I’ve been playing recently
A lot of things, it seems. I’ve had a glut of new games over the last month and I’ve been playing each for a short time. I’ve yet to settle down and just work on one or two, so I’ve not made much progress in each. So here’s a list, in no particular order: Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition (Vita) My subscription to PS+ was autorenewed before I could cancel it (the whole service got DDOS’d and I couldn’t log …
Things I’ve been playing recently
Roundup time! Hyrule Warriors (Wii U) With over 80 hours racked up now, this became my most played Wii U title some time ago. No matter how repetitive it seems to be, even playing exactly the same mission over and over with the same character, it never gets boring. I have now at least started the Master Quest from the first set of DLC, albeit to just play about four missions to see what they were like. Since then, there’s …
Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara (Wii U): COMPLETED
Firstly, it seems this is just half of the “Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara” game on the Wii U eShop. It’s a conversion of the 90’s coin-op, and is the sequel to D&D: Tower of Doom, which is also included in the package but isn’t selected by default and isn’t actually obvious that it’s there at all. At some point I’ll be playing that. The main reason, aside from it being on offer this week, for getting D&D:COM at …
The Irregular Lazy Catch Up Post
Yep. Another one of those. You love them really. So, here are things I’ve been playing recently: Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7 (360) I’m now, I dunno, half way into the first of the two year 7 films? I have no idea. Things seem to have hit the fan though, as the beardyman has died and the moon has turned into a Lego skull and everything was on fire. Literally no idea. Skylanders (360) My daughter is able to play this really …
Top 10 Mega Drive Games
Of every games console or computer I’ve ever owned, the Sega Mega Drive is probably my favourite. It was my first console, and the one I own most games for. It also saw me through most of university, despite the N64, Saturn and PS1 all having just come out – I obviously didn’t have any money to buy them. It wasn’t until the end of 1999 that I bought something newer, meaning I’d had a full 8 years of Megadriving. …
The Simpsons Game (360)
I finished the remaining game-parody levels in The Game Engine today. I loved the Gauntlet and Joust sections of NeverQuest. “Save keys to open doors!” was amazing. Medal of Homer was better than I was anticipating too, especially the way they called the French “cheese eating surrender monkeys”. Then it was into Matt Groening’s mansion. Oh my. It was a boss battle, but was amazing! From his dig at Seth “Family Guy” MacFarlane, to the way he kept drawing Bender …
Rampart (GBA)
Another of the Play Asia package today. This one is actually one half of the “Gauntlet and Rampart” double game cartridge (which, at the time of typing, you can get for a bargainous £5 from here). And? It is, as it always was, ace. I remember I was on holiday with a friend one summer and we walked three miles to the nearest arcade just to play this. It loses a little with just one player, but still plays fantastically …
