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 …
Games I’ve been playing recently
Mutant Mudds (3DS) It’s really hard now. I’ve done all 16 main levels, some of the secret levels, and collected all of the diamonds so far. I’ve done the first three Moon levels, but the last one? Nightmare. It’s so difficult! It doesn’t help that you can only have one power up at a time, and you really need all three to make it through. I’ve swapped around which ones I’ve been using, but it’s too hard with any of …

How I hate PC gaming
Ten years ago, I used to play quite a lot of PC games. Sim City, Tony Hawk, GTA, Rollcage, Half Life. Some of the Tomb Raiders and things like NOX too. I forget the rest. The last PC game I really sank any time into was Anarchy Online, back in 2005. Even that I didn’t play for long. Aside from brief prod at the Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst demo, that was the end of my PC gaming. There were …
Red Dead Redemption (360)
Had a bit of a marathon session of this over the last few days – not least 6 hours straight on Friday. Not done that sort of gaming run in years! Ended up having real-world RDR encounters (saw some flowers that looked like wild fever-few – fought the urge to pick them, saw crows – wanted to shoot them) like I used to with Tony Hawk games. I think I’m nearing the end now. I’ve reached Blackwater, found where the …
Dear Activision (An Open Letter about the 3DS)
Dear Activision, Now I know we rarely see eye to eye these days. Back in the days of the Atari 2600, you could do no wrong and provided me with so many hours of pleasure with your Pitfall and Frostbite and Keystone Kapers, and two decades later provided me with Tony Hawk – perhaps my most beloved of all non-platforming game series. Unfortunately, things have become a little tense between us in recent years with the murdering of the the …
The 2010 Gaming Expenditure Horror
I’ve been tracking which games I play, on my Gaming Diary, for 6 years now. It’s helped me realise how many different games I play, and how many I complete. This year, however, I’ve additionally started tracking the games I buy, and how much I paid for them – the aim being to scare myself into how much I spend on gaming. Thing is, just knowing that it’s logged has actually made me more frugal with my spending. Not only …
The Important Sonic Comparison Chart
I did one of these for Tony Hawk games a while ago, but I decided, in the wake of Sonic 4 and Sonic Colours, that we needed reminding of what we have lost.
