Stuff wot I are bin playing
I’ve not posted in a while, aside from to mention Yakuza 3 and Old World Blues, but I have still been playing games. Here’s a round-up of what’s been going down over the last few weeks: Professor Layton and the Lost Future (DS) I actually completed this at the start of the year, but as I did with the previous two games once the story was done I left the remaining puzzles until near the release of the following game. …
Bomberman Land Wii (Wii)
You may have noticed I’ve not posted anything all week. That’s not because I haven’t played anything, it’s just because I’ve been really busy. Besides, the only game I’ve touched is this one. And I’m around 8.5 hours into single player mode now. I’ve completed the Ring and Delta zones (both with ease), but now I’m on to the Diamond Zone and it’s suddenly become really hard. There are three games making it difficult for me to progress. The hardest …
Bomberman Land Wii (Wii)
I went back to the single player story mode on this today, and finished off all of the first zone – coming first over all. I was quite surprised I managed to come first, as after the first (of four) rounds, I was so far behind the leader there was no way I was going to be able to win. But I did – with 114 points compared to my nearest rival on 81. Unfortunately, I have found a large …
Bomberman Land Wii (Wii)
Another couple of hours in battle mode today. It seems the best way to play is to set everything to random – arena, rules, starting positions – everything. Helpfully, there’s a game mode that does all this for you. Every round is different! Of course, I won.
Bomberman Land Wii (Wii)
This arrived yesterday. Played it for about an hour in “traditional” mode – the same Bomberman game in multiplayer since the dawn of time. And in this respect, it is very good. It’s missing some of the more recent (well, 15 year old…) additions like throwing bombs and things to ride on, but it has all the required power-ups and plays as well as it ever did. There are a few different modes, such as Star Mode where when you …
Bomberman Live (360)
Played quite a few games of this with my wife this evening. Although she didn’t win any matches, she did win some games. Played with pretty much everything on Random, but seemed to get the map where there are brown sticky splodges on the floor appeared to crop up half the time, which is a pain as I hate that one!
Bomberman Live (360)
I was joust going to have an hour or so of Forza 2 when I realised Tim was online and playing Bomberman Live. “Aha!” I thought, “I can thrash him at that!” And promptly did. By “thrash” I mean, I won what was essentially a very close set of best-of-threes, with me winning 4 sets to 3 overall. But it’s the winning that counts, right? Right.
Bomberman Live (360)
Played a few online games, but in every game there was at least one player who was lagging something chronic. This meant he was essentially invincible, as bombs couldn’t hurt his as he wasn’t really where he appeared, and also he magically seemed to drop bombs around you while he was actually somewhere else on screen. It was very frustrating! Despite this, I did manage win a couple of sets-of-2!
Bomberman Live (360)
Played several games this evening with my wife and a few bots, with every setting possible set to Random. I won more than her, but then, I am Best. Bomberman is ace, isn’t it?
Bomberman Live (360)
No messing with demo mode for this, it’s Bomberman, so was bought straight off. Firstly, the bad: I don’t like the 3D graphics. I much prefer proper sprites, like the Saturn and PCE versions I’ve played recently. Secondly, the not-quite-overhead view is annoying, and although you can click the right stick to flick it back to the way it should be, you have to do this every single game – there’s no option to set it as default. Next, there’s …
Saturn Bomberman (Saturn)
Best Bomberman ever? Of course. It has all the greatness of the SNES incarnations, but with the addition of extra battle maps, characters, and best of all, simultaneous players. Ten, in fact. Thing is, there was only me and the wife, so ten seemed a bit of overkill. We started with five instead (three CPU players, if maths isn’t your strong point), and after a few rounds bumped it up to eight. However, I eventually set it to wide-mode and …
Bomberman ’93 (Wii)
Killed the plant boss on World 2, and now I’ve moved on to World 3 – Lava World (or something). The levels are getting a bit tricky now, as there are floor panels you can’t drop bombs on (or kick bombs across), and teleporters too.
Bomberman ’93 (Wii)
Played through the first world of single player mode. Erm. There’s not really much more to add, except it wasn’t very hard and I only lost one life. The boss was easy too.
