At least, it seems that way. I sent them a message via their help pages: This isn’t a complaint, I just can’t find any other way of emailing you. Since Ofcom have now forced BT to reduce the cost of their wholesale product to resellers (such as yourself, with Sky Connect which I use), I was wondering when you are going pass that price reduction on to customers, and by how much our bills will be reduced? BT have a …
This was one of the two games I got free from Sony by way of apologising for letting evil internet terrorists have access to my personal details. Sadly, it’s not that great. For the first three or four hours, I just couldn’t shake the fact that this was just Crackdown in slightly ill-fitting clothes. Then, as I realised that going vertical and running across rooftops was a better way of playing, I found myself comparing it to Assassin’s Creed as …
Google Buzz was unleashed on the world this week. I can’t see the point yet – it’s like a more accessible, but clumsier, Google Wave. Brought to you in the form of a clone Twitter feed. Sort of. The mobile version lets you add your location. Unlike Twitter’s map reference, Buzz displays your position as an address; a street name, shop, or business. Or for me, it thinks I might be inside a man. The thing is, I know Shaun …
Disney are bringing their own music game to the Wii and DS with Ultimate Band. Thankfully, it isn’t filled with High School Musical tracks – it actually has proper music! You don’t need any instrument peripherals either. Behold: And the blurb: Ever wondered what it would be like to experience living like the Ultimate Band? Well this is your chance to find out! To celebrate the launch of Ultimate Band on the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS, Disney Interactive Studios …
Much of today’s play on this was spent on expanding my empire a bit, to earn a bit more money each day. Sadly, this wasn’t easy. In order to take over businesses, you have to destroy the vehicle outside them. But, since you can’t manually aim any of your weapons, this means you can only do it by smacking them with something like a baseball bat or golf club (which takes aaaaages), unless you happen to have some (wildly inaccurate) …
Plowed through more races today. I’m alarmed to see that not only have I not lost a race yet, but I haven’t actually finished in any position other than first. Even after crashing. Hmm. In an effort to improve the credits I get for each race, and to make it a little harder, I had a tweak with the difficulty settings, and now I don’t get any penalty for easiness. Not that it’s made much difference. In fact, since changing …
Two more levels done! Managed to get past Giant Rat vs Businessman after about 15 tries, and it was not easy. As you’d expect. The first half of Police vs UFOs was really easy. However, the second half was not – and I swear the pattern of circles changed from attempt to attempt. And it kept making them appear under my hand! Gah!! Ready Steady Go! can just eff RIGHT off. I saw a video of someone completing it the …
In my last Ouendan-related post, I suggested that completing “Normal” mode was the limit of my 1337 gaming skillz. It seems that is not the case, as I managed to complete Hard Mode this evening. That’s right – I cleared all of the songs. Even Ready Steady Go! (the last one), that I took over a hundred attempts to beat on Normal. I’ve been listening to the soundtrack a lot recently, so I know the songs off by heart, and …
