3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (3DS): COMPLETED!
Twenty-odd years ago, many a Saturday morning would be spent playing Sonic. Or Sonic 2. Or Sonic 3. And today, a Saturday, I played and completed 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Nintendo 3DS. It was awesome. Like Gunstar Heroes and the first 3D Sonic the Hedgehog, the 3D here is mostly subtle. The original parallax layers are now given actual depth, and although this makes it feel more like a pop-up diorama than properly 3D it still makes …

Pop’n TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventures (Wii U): COMPLETED!
In a (very) late entry into completed games in the year 2014, I give you Pop’n TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventures! It’s not a shoot ’em up like the other Pop’n TwinBee games – instead being a platformer with some elements borrowed from the likes of Castle of Illusion, Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario World, but somehow totally different from all of them. Whereas in the shooter games in the series you pilot a cute spacecraft and take down other …
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX (3DS)
You know, I’m pretty sure I’m buying every single Virtual Console game out for the 3DS. I got Zelda the other week, and as well as that I’ve also got Kirby, Donkey Kong, Mario Land, Qix, Double Dragon and Fortified Zone. I’m only missing Tennis and Alleyway and I just know I’m going to end up with them too if there’s a slow week… But back to Zelda. Somehow, back in 2005, when I was running through pretty much every …
The Rapture: A post about the PS3
I have, in the past, been quite vocal about my dislike for Sony products. Specifically, the Playstation, Playstation 2, and the PSP. All of which I own, all of which I hate. In fact, I have no idea why I even bought a PSP. I didn’t want one, and just had £125 in my pocket one day when I saw a white one for sale for £125. Fool and his money, etc. My main gripe with all of these, but …

Fallout: New Vegas: Dead Money (360): COMPLETED!
Now you see, I wasn’t going to buy the first lot of DLC for New Vegas for two reasons. One, I thought I’d give another game a chance, and two, if Oblivion and Fallout 3 are anything to go by then it’ll come down in price in a few months. Of course, since when has saying I’m not going to buy something ever meant anything? Of course I bought it the day it was available. And today I completed it. …
The Very Quick Megadrive Ultimate Collection Review Selection
A list of all the games (from Wikipedia, sorry) and some indepth reviews of each title: Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle – great! Alien Storm – rubbish! Alien Syndrome (arcade) – OK! Altered Beast – rubbish! Bonanza Bros. – OK! Columns – Not as good as the Master System version! Comix Zone – great but hard! Decap Attack – amazing! Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine – great! Dynamite Headdy – not as good as it used to be! ESWAT: …
Sega Megadrive Ultimate Collection (360)
This was a far-too-cheap-to-miss £13 in Asda today, so it was rude not to buy it. So I bought it. It’s a great package, actually. There are 40-odd Megadrive games (all with save-states), and then unlockable other games (like the arcade version of Altered Beast). So far I’ve played Alex Kidd (good), Altered Beast (rubbish as always), Flicky (amazing), Comix Zone (fantastic but bloody hard), Ristar (fiddly), and Columns (not as good as the Master System version).
XP on Parallels losing internet access
Fo some reason, my XP Pro install in Parallels on my iMac lost internet access a few weeks ago. I wasn’t bothered as I hardly use it for anything. Today, however, I needed it as part of the install of Amiga Forever 2008, which only really works in Windows due to there not being a decent Intel port of UAE for the Mac. But I digress. Having tried all the settings in Parallels, resinstalling the Parallels Tools in Windows, rebooting …
Assorted XBLA Demos (360)
I tried some more demos today, all of XBLA games I’d downloaded over the last few weeks. BattlezoneLooks amazing, but the demo is only five seconds long. So I’m not buying it as there’s no way that gives any sort of representation of actual game. Wits and WagersA quiz game where your answer is largely irrelevant? And only 700 questions? I say no to you, sir. Rocky and BullwinkleIt’s Wario Ware, only in Rocky and Bullwinkle costumes. It was OK, …
